The Ranch House comfortable, warm & peaceful. We really enjoyed our time & we will for sure be back in the Shoulder Season. Thank you for opening up your home & land.

The place was perfect for us to base our bird hunting trip out of. Terry stopped in during his morning work to make sure everything was good with the place. Had a good time speaking with him and learning a bit about the ranch and area. Would definitely return. Awesome view of the mountains west of the ranch.

Cathy and Terry were excellent to work with and very friendly hosts. The guest house was warm, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The wood fire was wonderful! We even had a little cell-phone coverage (T-Mobile) which was enough to get emails and receive texts. There is no Wi-Fi available, but a ton of DVDs and videos if you had the energy to watch them. The one issue we had in the house was the tap water, and that's the reason for a 4-star rating. It had a foul smell and was unpleasant to wash dishes in, or shower in, or drink. We did not bring much bottled water with us, which I think we should have been warned to do in advance (we ate snow while hunting!). I'm sure the water wasn't harmful, just unpleasant. As far as the hunting went, I am writing this as an inexperienced elk hunter, FYI (though my husband hunted elk a lot in his younger days). We didn't plan properly for the fact that the hunting was basically on public land. And we would have greatly benefited from OnX or HuntWise to be sure of the boundaries. We had an opportunity to get close to elk late in the day but decided to wait till morning and hope they'd be still there. They were, but by morning, there were two other groups ahead of us and the elk were moving back into the timber, out of bounds, by the time we got close. We'd had a 3 1/2 mile walk in (we were advised against driving, for obvious reasons) but the hunters ahead of us came in via public access, with a shorter walk. We could have done the same, if we'd realised. Hindsight is 20/20. Another factor for elderly hunters like ourselves (!!) to consider is that there is no vehicle access to the FWS refuge which surrounds the Kombol Ranch, so you may have to drag a carcass a couple of miles to your vehicle. The property itself is magnificent, with views of mountain ranges all round. We had a glorious 2 days of scouting and getting to know the property, and learning the ropes for next time.

Cathy was so helpful in providing tips to where we would find the elk and their hospitality was fantastic. Nowhere else will you get this deal where you get to stay at the guest house and for this cheap. Can’t wait to get back.

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay on the ranch. We had an amazing time, memories I’ll never forget. We were blessed and the family will enjoy the elk we harvested ever much. The house was very nice and the history it holds is unbelievable. Thank you again for everything. We hope that we get the Privilege to visit your place again.
