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!

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.

Our family with 8 adults and 9 children (6-16) enjoyed the backyard, front porch, and everything in between. The quiet view of the prairie is so beautiful! The State Park nearby is fun for non-motorized boating.

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!

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!

We had a wonderful time and got to spend time with Jim and Twyla who gave us the history of the area. The house was great, and we had plenty of room for our group of 20 golfers. Definitely a great place and highly recommend the area for any outings.

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.

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!

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!

Our vacation weekend was excellent! We were able to meet Jim and Twyla who were the owners of the house. They were very fun to be around and the house was outstanding. Definitely will be staying on the property during our next function. Thanks for everything!

Great venue, secluded, beautiful sunsets, hosts were there when needed, but out of the way otherwise. Proximity to Glacier Park provided many recreational afternoons. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a place for a family gathering.

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!

Everything was wonderful! There was so much space inside and out! We were able to ride bikes and our four wheeler around. Jim and Twyla are such sweet people and fun to visit with. We are already talking about the next time we go back! Thank you again for everything!

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!!

Fun Family Getaway
We were blessed enough to spend our fall break at Clear Springs Ranch. Our extended family (8 adults & 4 kids) had more than enough room to play board games, cook meals, lounge around and visit. The bunk room was a hit for the kids and all of the adults had their own space to stretch. Twyla and family have done a wonderful job decorating, organizing and cleaning such a lovely home.
The kids loved playing basketball out on the driveway, football and lacrosse in the backyard, and even ran around in the garage when it was just a bit too chilly outside. We even had a campfire (with smores from our hosts) and could hear the coyotes at night.
On our arrival, we had a lovely note from Twyla and some homemade bread. Everyone's favorite was the hayride and tour of this beautiful cattle ranch. Jim and his son Brady were our tour guides; we learned so much about the cattle, the land, and the fresh springs that give the ranch its name. The kids, especially, loved asking questions and learning about the cows.
A few of us were lucky enough to join Jim and his sons on a cattle drive as they moved cattle from the glacial ridge to some land closer to home. It was quite the experience - even the kids watched from the back of the truck.
Memories were made with our family and you can bet that we'll be back! Heck, we even went home with a little extra beef! :)

Perfect place for a casual family gathering! Spacious and peaceful!
Wow! Out experience here was just what we were hoping for! Peaceful, unplugged, and room to roam! There was a lot of us but the rooms were so spacious, we never felt crowded! The kids LOVED the bunk room and being able to look out the window or walk in the yard, up to the fence to see the cows. Hay ride is worth the extra money! SOO interesting! Learned so much from Jim & Brady! They were both so kind and engaged the young kids as well! Home was clean, easy check in and had everything you. need! Jim and Twyla were so kind, had all the small perfect touches to make the stay perfect! 5 mins from Starbuck beach which the kids loved and it was a super sandy and clean lake/beach. Highly recommend the stay! If you are looking for a peaceful getaway to spend time with family, sit and eat dinner around a big table together, and unplug from the world, but still only be 2 hours from the cities, this is the place to be!

Wonderful Stay for our Family
We had a wonderful weekend and experience at this ranch home! The house itself was very spacious and clean and met the needs for our group. The extra touches the owners provided such as a welcome note and homemade bread, smores fixings, and a hayride tour of their property was so gracious and made our trip very memorable. Thank you!

Family vacation
We were very pleased with the property. There was plenty of room for us. The 5 younger ones from age 3 to 8 had a blast with the sand box and the games. There was a beach close so we spent a afternoon there. It is a quiet and peaceful place to visit. The host were very helpful and enjoyable.

We rented the Jim and Twyla's ranch home for a family vacation getaway.
Our family could not have been happier with our stay at the ranch! The house was so spacious and our kids loved the bunkroom in the basement. We were warmly welcomed by Jim and Twyla and enjoyed their kind hospitality! This spot was everything we wanted and more! The location was beautiful and so peaceful. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a place to make memories with your family.

The owners were very easy to work with. Very quick responses to any questions I had. They were very friendly and helpful to our family while we stayed there. They provided anything you could think of that you may need, even a few we didn’t think of (like Band-Aids) . We would definitely stay here again. There was a lot more to do that we didn’t get around to.

A perfect retreat space!
We rented this for our FFA Officer Retreat and it could not have been more perfect! The house
was the perfect place for our team to stay! The students loved the bunk room, and advisors appreciated their own rooms. Brady and Travis made us feel at home and shared an enormous amount of knowledge with our students!! We would highly recommend the farm tour as well, it is truly beautiful and informative!
Our students cannot stop talking about how much fun they had, and we cannot wait to come back!

Family weekend away!
After Covid, our whole family wanted a chance to just get away and relax and spend time with each other without distractions. The ranch was perfect! Jim and Twyla were so friendly and warm and the house was so clean and spacious! Our kids loved the bunk room and we noted that they spent the whole weekend happily running and playing and not asking for any TV/phones/tablets! We bought steaks and they were DELISH!!! The landscape was beautiful. Would highly recommend!

Family Weekend Getaway
We had an amazing weekend at the ranch! Our kids loved seeing all of the cattle and wanted to bring Cash the dog home with us. The Wild family is so welcoming and took time to teach us all about the ranch. We even got to help feed the cattle! The sunsets are gorgeous as well!
