Coffee Creek
Ranch:
As rich in beauty as in history, this was
originally three claims staked in 1877 by Old
Charley Henseley who lost them in a poker game in
1900 to Ben Pinkham for $1. Ben grew vegetables for
the miners, but realizing that the miners needed a
winter home close to their mines, Pinkham's
Boarding House was born. Gradually the hotel became
popular with city folk and later the name became
Coffee Creek Ranch.
Today there are 15 secluded cabins, most with
wood-burning stoves. Adult/singles weeks are
offered during the spring and fall. Weddings and
romantic getaways are a speciality as are
wilderness packing trips, youth activities,
fishing, hunting, horseback riding, swimming, pony
rides, nature trips, panning for gold, horsemanship
instruction, roping lessons, and rifle
instruction.
Marble
Mountain
Ranch:
This ranch
is Siskiyou County's only full service Klamath
River Lodge. What makes them special, says owner
Doug Cole, is "more horses than people"! They
personally outfit guest ranch packages combining
Western Trail Riding, wilderness pack trips, riding
lessons, white water rafting, fly fishing for Fall
Steelhead, sporting clays, private lodging and
gourmet meals.
Their cottages and homes vary in size and can
accommodate groups as small as two or as large as
eight. There are also RV hookups and camping sites
for as many as 400. You can even get married at the
ranch! Owner Doug Cole is licensed to perform the
marriage. His wife and co-owner, Heidi Cole, can
design and build your cake and cater the event.
Rankin
Ranch:
This historic
cattle and guest ranch in Caliente, California,
deep in the Tehachapi Mountains, has been
family-owned and operated for over 150 years. It
has been a working cattle ranch since the days of
the Civil War. Enjoy lodging in comfortable
mountain cabins, three home-cooked meals each day,
horseback riding, supervised children's activities,
and more.
