We are no fans of boring hotel rooms and this place is anything but that, however, the lack of cleanliness and attention to detail caused us to be disappointed in our stay, especially as it was not inexpensive. We met a couple at breakfast...Read More

HCR isn't for everyone, but for those that love rustic, technology-free getaways, HCR is a magical place. The only reason I am giving a low service rating is the "breakfasts". They used to have a lovely family style breakfast in the farmhouse, but since COVID...Read More

This is a one of a kind experience but don't come here expecting a 5 star resort. It's dusty and old and quaint....think of it as camping. No 2 rooms or cabins are the same. Everything worked as it should and the Internet...Read More

Howard Creek Ranch is like no other place. It’s not a place to stay, it’s an experience. I go there for the feeling it gives me. Peace, freedom, contentment. The open space, the isolation and history of this place feels like it belongs to you...Read More
