    Andrew Taylor

  • We stayed 3 nights with a large group, and I have to say it was absolutely wonderful. The cabins were clean and had incredibly comfortable beds. The owners were very hospitable and super friendly. I would recommend this place any day and will definitely be back!

    Ashley Sipherd

  • Jackie & Shannon are kind enough to share their slice of heaven with the general public with their cozy and accommodating cabins. The peace and quiet, breathtaking view and the best stargazing opportunities make this place hard to beat. It was an absolute pleasure to meet the two of them (plus Dally & Hope) and learn a little bit of their background. Their passion and love for this part of world shines bright and I'd highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area!

  • This is a very remote and romantic little spot way out of town, and just amazing!! The hosts, forgive me that I forget their names, were just 2 of the best hosts and very accommodating!!! I was very impressed with the long dirt lane back to the ranch, which we rode our motorcycles to get to. The fire ring with really nice and dry wood for us to burn. We originally wanted to find a spot for the meteor shower that was happening that weekend but found it to be not only good for that but just a really nice, quiet, and beautiful getaway from all of the normal. I would HIGHLY recommend a weekend getaway to this wonderful lil ranch. Also, the separate little, I'll call them tiny homes, were very well set up and had just the right kinda of atmosphere to make it a quaint little romantic spot. Thank you to the Lord ranch for having us and taking very good care of us!!!

  • Wonderful little stop on the motorcycles, much needed escape from reality. Talk about hospitality and a get away. Most definitely looking forward to another trip to make a visit, thank you so much!

    Kenzie Borton

  • Jackie is very friendly & hospitable. She made sure we had everything we needed for our stay! She brought us firewood for the firepit and even brought us briquettes & lighter fluid so we could cook out on the grill! This is an excellent place to escape the hustle bustle & recharge! Thank you Jackie for a great weekend!!

    Rebecca Collman

  • Thank you so much for providing us with a clean and quiet place to stay while hunting in the area. It was so nice to have a comfortable place that felt like home after a long day in the field. Your T-Bone steaks were amazing last night too! Thank you! We are looking forward to trying the jam back in Ohio and thank you for the prayer packets. Hope this winter isn’t as harsh for you and the wildlife this year. Until next time, many blessings from the Phillips’.

  • My husband and I stayed at Lord's while antelope hunting at McKelvie National Forest. The cabin was super clean and well stocked. Our hosts were fantastic and super accommodating. Thank you Jackie and Shannon! Hope to see you again.

    Melanie

  • We could not have had a better experience at this ranch. The owners were very kind and respectful of giving us space. The cabin was extremely clean and the location was breathtaking. We will absolutely be back again in the future.

    Megan

  • 5 stars all around. The place is quiet but not too far from town (Valentine) so you can get gas, beer, food. The owners/hosts are just so kind. And the rooms are fantastic. All I needed was hot water, a shower, and a stove to cook my dinner, and they had it all in the cabin. Me and my two pups stayed there for one night but I wish I could have stayed for longer. If I'm back this way, I'll definitely be booking here.

    Hannah

  • Stayed at the cabins while doing a motorcycle tour of the sandhills. The location was beautiful, the rooms were very nice, and the host was great. Easy ride ride from Hwy 83, little more rough coming from Merritt Reservoir, but worth it to ride Hwy 97 and eat at the Prairie Club.

    Jeremy

  • Found this wonderful resort while traveling near Valentine and the wildlife refuge. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The owners were welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed our stay!

    Bob & Tammy

  • Loved this amazing place. Our cabin was wonderful and had all we needed for our stay. The land, the sunsets and sunrises we’re breathtaking. The hosts were gracious, kind and hospitable in every sense. We most definitely will go back to enjoy more of the beauty, calmness and quietness and wild life and cows and horses in the area.

    Candy Cabrales

  • If you are looking for a lot of peace and quiet this is the place to go! Shannon and Jackie were very hospitable!

    Jen Miller

  • We arrived back home in Illinois after a loop out to Scotts Bluff and back through North Platte. We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin and wish we could have stayed longer. It was a real thrill to hear the loons calling and the prairie chickens booming at twilight. You have a beautiful setting there and we enjoyed our visit with you. It was great to spend time in the sandhills after a long absence.

    Doug Young

  • I reserved a cabin for my husband, son and his boys. My family said it was a wonderful experience sitting under the stars, cooking on an open fire. Room was very clean and furnished. We are definitely coming back.

    Becky

  • I visited your ranch resort in June for two nights (only planning to stay one night). Your wonderful generosity and beautiful ranch and home have stayed with me since I left. I can never thank you enough. From the moment I saw the rainbow as I turned east on the road to your ranch I knew I had chosen the perfect place to stay for the night. I will always hold aspects of my trip in my heart. You and your ranch as well as the entire area around Valentine will remain with me forever.

    Cynthia

  • My father in-law and I had a great time. Your cabins are really nice and accommodating. We really had a great time fishing. The pike weren’t biting the best, we only caught five. But the bass fishing was really good on West Long. I think in two afternoons we caught around 140 bass. Only 6 were over 15 inches but the majority were 12-14 inches. Anyway it was a great time and I just wanted to extend my thanks.

    Bob and Gary

  • This place is a gem. If you're looking for a place to stay while you're fishing at Merrit, on your way to Sturgis, during hunting season, or whatever, look no further. This place is SO CLEAN and SO COMFORTABLE. Each cabin has it's own kitchen, comfy beds, and recliner. The property is so clean and there rocking chairs and a firepit. Its definitely a serene escape and a home away from home. Will definitely be returning and would definitely recommend.
