A Private Cottage Getaway
This was a fabulous experience with my 7 year old daughter. Marybeth and Esther are lovely hosts, they introduced us to the many animals and made us feel at home. We stayed in the cottage, slept really well on the trundle bed in a quiet setting. We were able to feed the horses, and pet the goats, pigs, and tortoise! *Tip* Bring carrots for the horses if you’re interested in feeding them - you can also drive 10 minutes into Valley Springs to pick them up at the grocery outlet. And we bought some fresh eggs. Overall, a really fun visit. Thank you!!

We so enjoyed our night in the little cottage on Marybeth and Esther’s property. There are horses, pigs, sheep, goats, cats, dogs, and birds of every size - all are tame!! Note to cottage dwellers that the communal kitchen (shared w the bunk house) has a BBQ grill but you can bring your own camp stove if you want to stay in the cottage area to cook. We bought fresh eggs and they were delicious 😋 I’d love to come back for a cowgirl camp one of these days!

Farm glamping
We loved staying at Cowgirl Up Ranch. It’s a short drive away from New Hogan Lake and Lake Camanche, which allowed us to enjoy a few days of lake fun without the crowded camping experience. The ladies are warm hosts with a fantastic farm that is truly an animal lover’s paradise. It was such a joy getting to pet all of the sweet animals (especially the friendly farm cats and the tortoise!) The cottage had fantastic amenities: a microwave, mini fridge, keurig, composting toilet, trundle bed and HOT shower! I really enjoyed getting to hang out under their cafe lights while watching a gorgeous sunset. Despite this being a farm, it was actually pretty quiet at night and I didn’t even need the ear plugs I brought. We left feeling well rested and with lots of farm fresh eggs to cook at home! I would advise anyone staying here - make sure to bring your bug spray. We would absolutely stay here again.

A Bunkhouse Experience
We had a great time here. The hosts were great and our 5 year old had a great time hanging out with them doing farm tasks. She enjoyed the horse ride too!

The little cottage is nestled against trees that help keep it cool during the hot summer days. It's really lovely and calming to sit and watch the cows and horses from the picnic table or little porch. In the mornings, you can take your coffee out to watch for deer on the hillside. Unlike the bunkhouse, the cabin is set up with a few kitchen items, so you can whip up a little snack en suite. The location of the Cowgirl Up Ranch has great access to the reservoir, wine tasting, and caves, but it's also a great place to just relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings!
