1 night at Stephens Ranch
Jenny and Jake were so very welcoming to my two children and me. Jenny took us on a trail ride we all loved! My children enjoyed visiting with the animals and helping with some ranch chores. The cabin Jake built is magical - so very unique with all the added touches. There’s room for a couple families to sleep in it so we will be back with our friends! Thank you, Jenny and Jake.

The warmest welcome I’ve ever gotten at a Hipcamp! My son and I were on night 9 of a 10 day trip and exhausted, and it was so great to have such a comfortable and warm place to stay. The cabin itself is so unique, and you can see how much love went into building it. It My kiddo loved playing with and meeting the animals. Only wish we could’ve stayed longer!
