Another fantastic family gathering at Brixen Ivy! 17 adults and 8 children, ranging in age from almost 1 to 84, spread between the main lodge and the Sunset Cottage, and everyone had a wonderful time and plenty of space to spread out in. A huge well-stocked kitchen as well as two additional smaller kitchens made it easy to keep everyone well-fed and keep everyone's favorite beverages chilled. We were enchanted by the amazing views from the giant wrap-around porch, and the kids had a blast visiting the goats, llamas, cows, turkeys and ducks and running around on the baseball field. Adults enjoyed having many walking trails to choose from, and we all loved the fire pit and the swim spa. Family gatherings at Brixen Ivy have become become a treasured tradition in our family.

Wonderful accommodations. Beautiful views. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the animals. Well stocked kitchen (dishes, pot and pans, cookware). Family members especially enjoyed the rides on side by side with Mark.

Everything about the Brixen Ivy Ranch was amazing. We had a group of friends for a local wedding stay and everyone was blown away. The property manager Joe was helpful and just a great guy all around. Would definatley stay again!

It is a very nice area with plenty of room in the main lodge and is a very nice house.

Used for a small team business retreat, and it fit exactly what we needed! Host was easy to work with and provided recommendations for restaurants in the area. Will definitely book again, if our team meets in the area again. Thank you!

The house itself is beautiful but Joe the ranch manager seals the deal! He is so friendly and helpful it really makes the stay enjoyable for all!

House was the perfect size for our annual Friendsgiving. The addition of the guest house allowed everyone to have their own private bedroom and bath. The extra kitchens made cooking for 20 people east and not stressed for oven space. Def a great place for large groups. The view of the valley was amazing. Def recommend for large groups! Thanks

My family with 7 couples, 3 singles and 2 little ones spent a week enjoying luxurious ranch life. The house is absolutely beautiful, there is everything you could possibly need. The views are incredible and the one thing I didn’t know we would be getting was an awesome night sky, no light pollution at all!!! We walked the ranch daily and really enjoyed all the animals ....cows, horses , goats, llamas, ducks, chicken, and a few cats. Miss Kitty will melt your heart as she sits patiently waiting outside the door, or sits in your lap as you enjoy the fire pit in the evening. Some of our group were impressed by the local golf courses, while others could have spent days touring and shopping in idyllic downtown Galena. Mark the owner was easy to get in contact with and ask questions of prior to our stay and Joe the ranch hand greeted us on arrival and was able to help with anything we needed. He even tried to put in a new refrigerator in the kitchen midweek, because the old one had a few problems..... but we had already filled with food and had learned to live with it. There were 2 other full size refrigerators!!! The only minor complaint would be that it’s time for high dusting ( please don’t look at my house😂) Thank you for allowing this property to be available for others to enjoy the area.
