Summary: We stayed at Shankle with all the extended family in tow, and ended up with all three properties on site for a nearby wedding. It was perfect! Enough room to prepare food, socialize, relax, enjoy, and the view was amazing! We fell in love with the property and would recommend it highly.

Summary: We celebrated our father's 90th birthday and our parents' 65th wedding anniversary at Shankle Ranch. We rented the main house and the Tree House. There were 15 of us, ages ranging from 26 to 90. The house had everything we needed - rooms, space, great kitchen stocked with everything for our group size, pool, pool table, yoga mats and small weights, lawn games and board games, pool towels, etc. We cooked in 3 nights and had lovely dinners on the patio. Check in and out went smoothly. Views were amazing!

Summary: Our group has gathered at Shankle Ranch a number of times now, because it is amazing. It's difficult to put the gracious, gentle, relaxed beauty of the place into words. The hosts, Sherry and Sarah, are the epitome of genuine kindness and hospitality, and the land, sky, and guest ranch itself are absolutely gorgeous. It is a healing place to be.

Summary: We were looking for a place to bring in family for our mom's 80th birthday. We wanted something with character and more than just a house. This ranch has history and charm and is the perfect place to get away, relax and explore. Sherry and Sarah are great hosts and they take great pride in their property. This isn't just a rental to them, it is a place they love and want to share the history and experience with everyone that stays there.

Summary: The Historic Shankle Ranch house is awesome. It has great character and worked very well for our family group (12 persons total) in celebrating multiple birthdays. We enjoyed the country-type setting, the spacious living room, very nice areas outside, and the fireplaces (with firewood included). The host was very easy to work with. We enjoyed our stay immensely and highly recommend this property.
