The Ranch Hand - Epic River + Mountain Views

Welcome to Tobacco River Ranch! With more than 450 acres adjacent to State Forest, and nearly two miles of river running through our property, endless adventure awaits!
Originally an old forest service logger's cabin, The Ranch Hand was refurbished it with lots of love, and this structure found it's retirement home at the Tobacco River Ranch perched high on the hillside with epic views of the Canadian Rockies and the Tobacco River.

Glamping = Glamorous Camping. Our rustic cabins are well furnished and comfortable. We provide everything you need for comfort, in a beautiful, private, quiet setting. There is no power in the cabin, solar lights provided.

Guests have access to a community kitchen, bathrooms and showers, as well as tubes and bikes. The Ranch Hand is a private cabin sleeping 2 - we can add a cot for an extra charge, or if your party is larger, we have a tent we can put next to it for an additional fee. (email us!) The Ranch Hand is one of 6 units at Tobacco River Ranch. Check out our other listings. We host weddings and family reunions too!

Whether your thing is hiking, biking, swimming, rock climbing, fishing or forest bathing, we've got you covered. Come for the recreation, Let us handle the set up, and stay to relax!

You will experience wildlife, great vistas in a natural setting, but in the comfort of a comfy queen bed with linens supplied. (And a bath towel, beach towels not supplied.) ++There is rugged terrain on the property, and hills, and you will need good walking/hiking shoes. this unit is up a small hill (that's how you get the views!)
++ You can unload 100-200 feet from your cabin, but park in designated parking. ++Toilets are also 100-200 feet from each cabin or camper.

If you are traveling with a pet, damage caused to the property or physical damage to other guests by said pet is your responsibility. You understand the risks discussed above and agree that you will assume all responsibility for yourself and for the consequences of those in your party. You agree to waive any claim whatsoever against The Tobacco River Ranch for accidents or claims arising from hiking or staying on this property.

Relaxing
This was our second time getting to stay at the Ranch Hand cabin. We loved it the first time and didnt know how we could love it more, but we did. It is so very peaceful, relaxing, and a great place to get rest and recovery from work and normal life. We look forward to staying there again soon!

Concert venue stay
This was a lovely property and stay. Once we were on the ranch, it was perfect. I just wish the property owner would have given us check-in details the day before, so we weren’t locked out and driving around at 5 o’ clock the day of check in.
