Great stay
Great stay and owners were very kind. The only things to note were there were a couple in person check ins that were a bit surprising and we would have appreciated some heads up, particularly with small children around we wouldn’t have wanted them to come across strangers, so that’s our feedback on how to make the stay more comfy and why the one less star. And second note there was a hot tub listed but there wasn’t one. All things considered it was still a great place to stay and we appreciate the hosts for sharing their home!

Annual Family Vacation
This is the second time we used this property for our family vacation. This place is awesome and fit the needs of our family very well. We love the spacious home and the big yards for our kids and grandchildren to experience tons of fun! The swings, sandbox, and outdoor fire pit were great additions! There was plenty of space for our large group of 21! Thanks to Jim and Twyla for being such great hosts.

This was the second time we stayed on the ranch. It is very spacious with lots of room. We had 9 adult women and we each had our own bed with lots of room and bathrooms. It's very nice and clean and Jim and Twila are very friendly and helpful. When I sent a message to them asking for help they were very quick to answer and came quickly when we needed them.

This is a fantastic home with caring and considerate hosts. This is a perfect annual gathering space for 9 adult siblings and some children and grandchildren. The heated garage with a counter and tables/chairs is a bonus that gave us lots of conversation areas and lots of space to spread out. 2025 will be our third year here. Thank you to Jim and Twyla!

Incredible Location for Family time
We had a group of 21 staying at the Ranch house for Thanksgiving. The house was very clean and kitchen was well-stocked. The garage provided a great place for kids to play, storage of winter gear, and even cleaning of pheasants after a few hunts. The basement was full of toys and games and the kids kept very busy down there. The bunk room was a great sleeping spot for them. Jim and Twyla were extremely friendly and accommodating with an early check-in request, as well as some other extras like taking our kids on the tractor to feed the cows. This is a gorgeous setting and very close to Lake Minnewaska and Alexandria. We will definitely be returning!

July 27-30, 2023 stay
This place is AMAZING as are the owners! Upon arrival, there was a welcome note and loaf of homemade zucchini bread. Twyla also stopped in to welcome me personally. The cleanliness was impressive as were the many personal touches including a s'more basket, large variety of K-cup for the Keurig coffee maker, soaps/shampoo dispenser in the bathrooms - just to name a few. The decor is SO nice! The themed details are so cool. And the layout of the house was perfect for our group of 17 adults and teens. That bunkroom was perfect for the younger folks who liked to sleep in. And that front porch - so great; we watched beautiful sunsets each evening. The garage was like an extension of the home - so clean, with a sink and extra refrigerator. There were a also a variety of bikes, extra outdoor chairs too. The setting is beautiful and just 5 miles from town. Starbuck has a wonderful beach and the Firehouse brewery was a fun outing. I can't say enough about this VRBO; it checked ALL the boxes for our group, and we've already booked for next year.

Peaceful, Pleasant Stay for Families
This beautiful, clean home offers so much opportunity for fun and relaxation. The house has plenty of dishes, towels, and a large dining room table with extra chairs. The covered porch is a lovely place to visit or listen to the birds. Outside the back lawn is perfect for kids to run, and the nearby state park has a lake for fishing and non-motor boats. The beach in town is great for hot days (and the air conditioning in the house is fantastic too)! The hosts are extraordinarily kind and helpful. And you can get a taste of farm life at this exceptional place!

What a great place for a 50th Anniversary
This property worked out perfect for our family, all 21 of us fit comfortably. There were beds/couches for everyone, plenty of room to spread out for activities, lots to do indoors and outside. If you’re considering it, the farm tour is definitely worth it, Brady had so much great information and the kids loved the visit from Cash. The house was very well stocked with everything we could have wanted/needed and so much more. The kids under 10 and the teens/,young adults found plenty to do (foosball, ping pong, games/puzzles, bean bag toss, bikes, balls) and never even missed their screens or tv. This house was impressively clean considering it is a farmhouse on a gravel road. The garage was just as clean and spacious, additional room since the weather wasn’t too cooperative. We would definitely stay here again!

This place has everything you need. Very clean, very roomy, very well equipped. The hosts, Jim and Twyla, couldn’t be nicer - from the homemade sweet bread to the almost instant delivery of a heating pad, they couldn’t have been more accommodating. A lovely pastoral setting on a working farm. We all loved it!

Fantastic Stay in Rural MN
Our family of 7 adults and 6 children (ages 8 months to 8 years) found all the comforts of home at Clear Springs Cattle Ranch. The lower level play area and bunk room provided space for kids and allowed quiet conversations upstairs for the adults. Multiple bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The swing-set and sandbox were favorites of the kids!

Perfect for a Large Family
Had a great first impression when driving on to the property -- immediately noticed how well kept it was and the inside of the house was very clean. Plenty of room for our family and we loved the large yard area for the outdoor games. The home was well equipped with everything we needed plus I noticed extras like the toothbrushes, makeup towels, etc. The hosts thought of everything! Also, not long after we arrived the hosts stopped by to welcome us and we visited with them a few times throughout our stay. Our children and grandchildren loved this place and we would not hesitate to go back again. If you're looking for a place with lots of room and lots of great outdoor space, this is the place you want to rent. Also, beautiful views and sunsets!!
