RANCH VACATION, WEDDING, FAMILY REUNION! PRIVATE RANCH HOME AND FACILITIES

The ultimate ranch vacation. 6 bedroom house/events centre/fire pits/tipi/disc golf/outdoor games/Badlands hikes. Everything for an incredible ranch vacation.
More than 3700sq feet of living space in a newly renovated ranch house. The house is equipped with Starlink wifi, shaw satellite, a smart TV and central air.
Modern kitchen is fully equipped with EVERYTHING you will need. A live edge island seats four with access to a beverage fridge. The western eating bar in the dining room also features a live edge, and seats 6. The dining table can easily accommodate up to 8 more guests. A highchair is also available onsite. If you need to escape you can use the french doors to get a breath fresh air on the deck off the dining area.
Kick off your boots, and hang up your hats on the unique coat rack upon entering. The house invites you in, but if you need to freshen up first there is a 1/2 bath with full laundry facilities.
The kitchen/dining opens up to a welcoming luxurious living room. This room features two oversized couches, with two arm chairs you won't want to get out of. With a flick of a switch, enjoy the warmth of the custom gas fireplace. There are two built-in benches next to the fireplace with comfy pillows and blankets.
There are 6 large bedrooms with luxurious beds that you will probably want to take home (but you can't).
The 3 upstairs bedrooms have king beds. Each bedroom has its own wow factor and custom design. The main bedroom has a great closet and a kick ass ensuite featuring double sinks with a rainfall shower head. Actually all bathrooms feature rainfall shower heads. The second bathroom has a lovely soaker tub and spacious vanity. Bedroom 2 and 3 feature huge windows that have a lovely view and ample space for your belongings.
The lower floor is accessed off the entry, and features 3 oversized bedrooms with beautiful views. 2 of the bedrooms have queen beds with huge closets and lots of space for any extras, including 2 pack and plays that are provided. The last bedroom has 2 queen beds. The full bathroom has double sinks so you can brush your teeth with your friends. The shower also has lots of room.
The 2 common areas in the lower level are made for good times. Separated by a small bar one side has Foosball and air hockey tables. The other side has the largest sectional you have ever seen with a large smart TV. If you don't feel like watching tv or playing air hockey try your hand at a game of cards on the games table while keeping warm by the electric fireplace on a cold day.. Games, books, toys and puzzles are available. What else do you need?
The ranch house is one of a kind but what is truly unique, is outside the front steps.
You can gaze upon the custom landscape while grilling steaks for 10 (20 if you are feeling generous) on the large gas BBQ. Firepits (and hot dog sticks)are close by for smores and hotdogs, or if you prefer you can play some of our outdoor games (some firewood will be provided). For those extra guests that like to travel in their house, we have space for them too. There are lots of spots for RVs(Max 10), but no hookups. Spotless outdoor washroom. The rustic events center seats 80 and the 9 hole disc golf course is challenging and fun! To add to your unique adventure the 24', 3 queen bed Tipi offers a unique experience.. The Tipi features a breathing friendly central firepit and cedar floors.
Guests have private access to the ranch for outdoor adventures. ie hiking, orienteering,, cross country skiing and snowshoeing are just a few. Extreme mountain biking anyone ? Lots of toboggan "hills"! MANY acres of badlands, prairie, wildflowers and berries, birds, animals and everything else found on an Alberta Ranch. Breathtaking photo opportunities. Drive 15 minutes to ski at the Valley Ski Hill. Take a 5 minute drive to Bigknife Provincial Park for winter or summer fishing, kayaking and canoeing(open water year round). Drive another minute to the Diplomat Trout pond. Lovely and reasonable Castor golf course is 15 minutes away. The Westwoods Hall is 10 minutes away for those who have larger groups(300).We have done everything we can think of to ensure that your stay is memorable and that you will want to return.

60th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Our group of 25 enjoyed a wonderful 3 days on this property as we celebrated our parents. We hosted a small open house in the event centre. I cannot say enough good things about this lovely space and Kathy, who is a wonderful host. The house was immaculate, had everything we needed and was a delightfully relaxing space. The decor was beautifully chosen and the beds were comfortable. We appreciate the ample towels, dishes and all of the small details. We enjoyed horseshoes, disc golf and a great campfire every night. The Event Center was all set up and worked really well for our Open House and to host our group meals in the evening. Kathy answered everyone of my questions and went out of her way to ensure we had a memorable weekend. I would highly recommend her vacation home.

Golf 2023

The Badlands Ranch House was perfect for our group of 12. We had absolutely everything we needed. There is lots to do, and the Tipi was amazing. The yard is impeccable. The house is so clean and bedrooms were very comfortable. The host was so helpful in everyway. We will be back.

Family Thanksgiving

Property worked great for our family gathering of 15. We had everything we needed and more. There’s lots of room to spread out outside, including the tipi! Kathy was great to communicate with and clearly takes pride in her place. When we needed an axe, one was dropped off with some additional wood. We did a day trip to the Stettler train, which was a nice excursion. Thanks for everything Kathy!

Outstanding property

Upon arriving the grounds were pristine. The house is absolutely gorgeous. Gourmet kitchen with everything you can possibly imagine and more. The beds you will want to take home. So incredibly comfortable. Ample supply of toiletries. The event centre was a huge bonus. Those who chose to stay up late did so in there so not to disturb those camping and in the house. We enjoyed the fire pit every evening. During the day fun was had playing horse shoes and frisbee golf. We’re seriously considering making this property our annual family vacation spot. Book it for your family. You will not be disappointed. Prins family September 13, 2022
