Ghost Rock Ranch offers the ultimate in equine and human hospitality, just south of La Pine off Highway 31 on Beal Road.
With new indoor and outdoor arenas including deluxe boarding facilities, professional caring staff, training, clinics, prime pasture, trails and access to BLM land, Ghost Rock Ranch promises the best experience for you and your horse. Ghost Rock Ranch is also pleased to announce our new Horse Leasing Program. Designed as an introduction to true horse ownership, horse leasing is an inexpensive way to find out if the interested person truly has the dedication required to take care of their own horse. Please call us or see our web site for more information.
On the human hospitality side, our Lodge is under construction and will be completed this winter. With views of the cascades, expansive decks, a professional kitchen and proximity to all the Ranch has to offer, Ghost Rock Ranch Lodge lends an atmosphere of rustic elegance for everything from exclusive dinners to weddings, retreats, film shoots and more.
We will be having an open house some time soon – watch this space or see our web site for updates. See you at the Ranch!
The Origins of Ghost Rock Ranch
The ground upon which Ghost Rock Ranch sits was created by Mt. Mazama. When the volcano erupted thousands of years ago, besides creating Crater Lake she threw pumice for hundreds of miles to the North and North East. This pumice is the wonderful soft ground that ranchers here call “pummy”. Although it doesn’t hold water for plants very well, and it freezes as hard as cement, it is very kindto the horses’ feet.
The Gift of Rocks
Any rocks that were there before the volcano are now buried at least 20-100’ below the surface, hence the name Ghost Rock Ranch. Cherie started a tradition of having guests bring rocks as gifts to the land; some bring rocks the size of their fist and others the size of their heads. It’s an easy and simple gift of the heart; the design of the Ranch is formed by the people who visit. Not long ago, Ghost Rock Ranch was old camps and hunting grounds for the Native Americans. Many visitors to the ranch, including Native American leaders, have said they can hear and feel the strong sense of healing spirit that remains.
