Hillbilly Relaxation Ranch - Your Fish & Hunt & Family Reunion Destination

Privacy Galore. If you are an outdoor enthusiast or just want to get away from life's demands, this is the place for you. Lodge is tucked away on a 3800 acre ranch. You have the entire lodge to yourself - no sharing with other guests. 15 beds, 3 baths, kitchen, dining room, living room, screened porch and deck. Washer and dryer onsite. Cook yourself or do the total relaxation vacation with 3 meals per day ready for you at the rate of $65/person/day. Free internet if you want to stay connected. Pets welcome! The Last 7 miles are gravel roads. The driveway is a pasture road. A remote country get away.

Covid-19 precautions will be practiced by a thorough disinfecting of the lodge in between groups. During your stay your group is the ONLY occupant of the lodge. No other guests share the space. The ranch residents have separate residences spread out on the 3800 acre ranch.

The main attraction is the Missouri River and the beautiful hills on its banks. Walleye, Catfish and Bass Fishing PLUS Pheasant and Dove Hunting at its finest. But don't forget the wildlife hikes, bird watching, photography, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, shoreline picnics, boating, trap shooting, nature hikes, check on the cows, check the crops, finding waterfowl in the diked ponds, what are the ground hogs up to, watching fox pups play, what type of cactus is this, where does this draw go, what lives in this hole, rock picking on the shoreline and the list goes on.

Want to sit on the deck and hang out. View the river. Watch the wildlife on the surrounding hillsides and in the air. Watch the cow/calf pairs enjoy their pasture. BBQ grill on the deck. Cook up the fish you caught that day for dinner. Picnic on the shore. No city lights to impede star gazing. Sometimes you will get the treat of a view of colorful northern lights.

Bring your canoes and kayaks to explore the Oahe Reservoir.

Bring your own fishing boat or guided fishing available for a fee.

Hunt public lands or guided hunting available for a fee.

Golf course 20 miles away. There are several restaurants within 10 to 30 miles.

There are 4 main sleeping areas. Multiple single beds in each area. Can slide the beds together or leave as single beds to suit your needs.

Kitchen has staples and all cooking utensils, pots and pans, coffee pots and dishes. Just bring your own food. Keep in mind that the nearest grocery store is 30 miles away so come prepared. Bedding and Towels are supplied.

Whether you are vacationing with one person or fifteen people, you will feel at home.

Don't want to have the family reunion at home this year? Perfect spot to hold your gathering. Room for extra tents or travel trailers too.

Part of a group that needs peace and quiet for a retreat? It doesn't get better than this.

July fishing vacation
The property is AMAZING! I am used to bringing some much of my own things and this property had many of those items. The DOGS loved the acres of fields they were able to run. Longer distance (gravel) than we would have liked to drive to a boat launch but that is country staying. :)

Quiet and Relaxing
We enjoyed our stay while fishing for walleye on Lake Oahe. There were eight of us with three boats. We cooked breakfast and was on the water by 9 am with limits of walleye by 2 pm leaving plenty of time for story telling and evening grilling. Some of the guys caught catfish from shore during evening sunset. What a great experience for all of us! We thank Lorie for being a great host and being so responsive to our inquiries.

Our family reunion
Lori was a super host! She was right up the hill so when we had a question we had a quick response. We had all of our kids and grandkids so it was super busy but the spread out of the house was awesome and the screened in porch was so enjoyable in the evenings! The rental had all the things we needed. It was quite a drive but so worth it!

Great family vacation spot
We loved the location -- quiet, not many people around and very relaxing! The hills and Missouri River were so pretty. We had our family of 6 adults and all of our dogs and it worked perfectly for us! We took ATVs with us and had plenty of room to ride on the trails. The river was so clean and clear, we went there daily & waded and let our dogs swim. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the screened in porch. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep - - do plan ahead as it's about 35-40 minutes to the closest store. Lori was great - she is close by in case you need anything. It was a great vacation!!!
