Hardscrabble Ranch

The ranch was a perfect spot for a wedding gig we played this past weekend! From the views, privacy, facilities, and management staff (Chris and Dave), it was an all around excellent experience. It even snowed right after the outdoor ceremony, proving again why a spot like this beats a tent any day of the week. We enjoyed it so much and hope to return to the ranch in the future for more work.

Absolutely gorgeous place with the best hospitality and service. We especially appreciated being able to use glamping tents and lodge rooms to host our friends and family for the weekend. The outdoor kitchen served as the perfect spot for rehearsal dinner and cocktail hour. The barn was perfectly suited for our wedding reception. The owners and staff were so friendly, courteous, and experienced. All around, hardscrabble made our wedding carefree so we could kick back and enjoy our big weekend. We’d recommend having your reunion/wedding/ retreat at HR - it’s simply the best value and far exceeded anything we had hoped and dreamed of for our wedding. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

11/10!! Just had my extended family visit for Christmas, and we chose Hardscrabble Ranch as our “Home-base.” The ranch is beautiful! The lodges were cozy and perfect, and we had more than enough room for the 16 of us. It was great to go and see the animals and enjoy the trails on the side of the mountain whenever we felt like getting some fresh air and good views. You can definitely tell the staff put in A LOT of effort to make sure all our needs were met. We never even needed to ask! The rooms/common area was clean and ready to go with WIFI, TV, board games, ping pong, etc. I would definitely recommend Hardscrabble to anyone planning a family gathering/event like ours! Thank you!!

The HardScrabble Ranch was perfect for our family reunion. The kitchen and big rooms were stocked with everything we needed. There were clean, private bedrooms for all 16 members of our family, with a view of Ross Peak from our window, and plenty of space for everyone to stretch out. Peter and Chris were great hosts and made sure everything was OK. We enjoyed visiting with them and with their yaks, horses and pig.

We had our October 2024 wedding at Hardscrabble Ranch and it was absolutely full of joy. The weather was miraculously perfect, the venue is naturally gorgeous, and we loved having the onsite lodging for close friends and family to spend the weekend with us. Beyond the good weather luck and beauty of the space, what really made our wedding magical was the staff! Chris and her team went above and beyond to make things run smoothly and to ensure that anything that came up didn't become a problem for us so we could be present with our guests. I had a completely stress-free wedding because of all their hard work and flexibility and can't recommend working with them enough.
