The Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch is a unique setting for retreats and private gatherings, whether you choose to make the Ranch your own with an exclusive occupancy, host a private Summer Meadow Site party, or join our regular Ranch program with a small group.

Make the Ranch Your Own: Exclusive Occupancy Events
You may host a one or multi-day event as the Ranch’s exclusive guests.  The intimacy of a private Ranch reservation creates a unique and ideal atmosphere for a wedding, family reunion, recreational adventure, business retreat, or relaxed enjoyment of friends. Surrounded by the spectacular Sawtooth and White Cloud Mountains, with the privacy an exclusive reservation provides, you may customize meals and activities to enjoy the Ranch in your own way and time. The historic Lodge and Cabins’ fine accommodations, Chef Andrew Machanic’s excellent cuisine, our hot springs pool, fishing pond, and scenic 900 acres are yours exclusively for the duration of your stay. The Ranch can accommodate 44-50 of your guests, for one or many days.

Chef Andrew, a 1993 graduate of the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vermont, will fashion menus tailored to your tastes and preferences, from the ultimate picnic or barbecue to more elegant fare. The event menu sampler below illustrates Andrew’s culinary range, and provides a preview of treats that await you. Vegetarian and children’s options always are available, and we can accommodate special diets with advance notice.
