Lori Lotton and her family moved to Crawford, NE over 25 years ago. Originally cattle ranchers in rural Montana, the ranching lifestyle runs through the blood of the Lotton family. Now located in the remote countryside of the Sandhills, the Lotton Ranch offers a peaceful escape from people and welcomes you into a mule deer’s paradise. There is no timber or treelines on the property. However, the three local reservoirs and water tank, along with the rolling hay bottoms that are grass/alfalfa mix, provided a playground for wildlife. The land is only grazed during the summer months and left idle from November 1st through the end of May, allowing wildlife to explode throughout the property. This wildlife includes a mule deer, antelope, coyotes, and plenty of prairie dogs. The property is cross-fenced and the deer are most frequently found just north of the fence. Crawford, NE is just 25 miles away and offers lodging arrangements. Chadron also offers lodging arrangements and is 30 miles away. Tent camping and small trailers are allowed on the property. However, due to the soil type it is not accessible to an RV. This soil is heavy and ‘gumbo-like’ so when it starts to rain, we recommend finding shelter. Recreators may have access to a shop on the property for protection during emergencies. There is no set minimum or maximum number of days when booking. If necessary, an ATV can be used to retrieve game out in the field. The cell service on this property is very spotty and only accessible in a few locations. We are looking forward to sharing our property with you, but ask you to please respect the land as if it were your own.
