🌿 Welcome to Big Rock Ranch In 2016, Nathaniel and Raina Potter purchased this 30-acre ranch and aptly named it Big Rock Ranch. The land’s modest ranch layout is contrasted by the wildly grand views of a towering rock outcropping jutting from Coyote Butte, a striking formation that continues to inspire awe in both its owners and visitors. Today, Big Rock Ranch is home to pasture-raised cattle, chickens, goats, horses, a bursting garden, and a commitment to regenerative ranching practices. Your stay at Big Rock Ranch is more than just a getaway—it’s an offering to our family and ranch, helping us continue our work in sustainable agriculture and land stewardship. ⛺ Stay in the Rustic Canvas Tent Nestled under junipers and sagebrush, the 12x14 ft canvas tent offers a comfortable yet immersive farm experience. Enjoy stunning views of the Cascade Mountains, high desert landscape, and irrigated pastures. The tent features: 🔥 Outdoor kitchen with a BBQ, propane burners, and potable water. 🛏️ Queen bed (bedding available as an extra) + two cots for additional guests. 🚻 Shared composting outhouse with the tiny house listing. 🔌 One outlet for small device charging. Guests can also collect farm-fresh eggs, purchase pasture-raised meats, and explore regenerative ranching practices on a guided tour. 🏡 Stay in the Cozy Tiny House For a more intimate and self-contained farm stay, our charming 8x16 ft tiny house offers: 🏡 Fully equipped indoor kitchen with a propane stove, toaster oven, and fridge/freezer. 🛏️ Lofted queen bed (bedding available as an extra). 🚿 Hot water shower and access to the shared composting outhouse. 🍽️ Indoor and outdoor dining with breathtaking views of the ranch. 🌄 Experience Big Rock Ranch Guests at both listings are invited to explore the land, interact with our animals, and experience the rhythms of regenerative farming. Nearby, adventure awaits with world-class climbing at Smith Rock (8 min), water recreation at Lake Billy Chinook (20 min), and hiking or biking trails just minutes away. Your stay supports our family ranch and way of life. We look forward to sharing this special land with you! 🌿 Book your stay and experience the magic of Big Rock Ranch! 🐴

Nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes, this campsite at Big Rock Ranch offers a serene escape with its cozy Elk Tent and heartwarming hospitality. Guests relish the chance to interact with friendly farm animals, enjoy fresh eggs, and explore the picturesque surroundings. The outdoor kitchen is well-equipped, making meal preparation a delight, while starry nights and stunning sunsets paint a mesmerizing backdrop. However, occasional road noise and a lively rooster may interrupt the tranquility for some, but the overall experience remains overwhelmingly positive.

Lovely Tiny Home Farm Stay

High Desert Tiny Home on Farm

Upon arriving at the tiny home on the farm, we were greeted by the hosts and their pups. We had a wonderful stay, took in the beautiful amazing views of the surrounding landscapes at sunset and explored the farm area. Overall, the tiny home is a sweet getaway for two with a cozy pellet fire inside and a loft with a queen bed. We got to enjoy a delightful breakfast made with farm-fresh eggs given by the hosts and played card games on the corner table. Would be happy to stay here again!

Camping with a bonus!

High Desert Canvas Tent on Farm

What a wonderful little get away! Not only were the accommodations great, but the hosts were so friendly and inviting! We were entertained by the goats, gifted eggs from their chickens, and we got to learn about their practices on regenerative farming! Very entertaining, educational, and beautiful!

High Desert Canvas Tent on Farm

It was a pleasure to stay on Raina's land and meet her family! Waking up to the goats perched on the rocks was a real treat -- and the stargazing was lovely. Even as the season gets chilly we were very cozy in the elk tent. It was so helpful to have access to a sink with running water and an extension cord for my friend's bipap machine. Would stay again!

Lovely but loud

High Desert Tiny Home on Farm

These are the sweetest people and very nice hosts in every way. Our problem was the constantly varying background noise that spoiled our ability to enjoy the genuinely nice landscape. Too close to busy highway, under a small craft flight path to airport, with a train blowing through occasionally… add that to animals and children once in awhile - it just didn’t add up for us. We wanted tranquillity near picturesque rocks… not anybody’s fault, but it was a bunch of sound we didn’t expect.
