You have access to the entire property and this is the only cabin on 57 acres! You have total privacy with no cabins next door unlike others in the area.

One of the owners greets all guests upon arrival and gives a short tour of the property. We want to ensure that our guests find the property as it's very large and there are many private ranch roads in the area where you could get lost. It's best to use the Waze app for directions as google has mislabeled our road and it will not show on google. Our address appears as 244 Walnut Rd instead of 244 Valley Rd.

Grandview Wildlife Ranch has all the amenities of home away from home. The total space is around 1000 sf with an A-frame ceiling on the first floor which makes it feel much larger than it is. The loft is 240 sf and the hideaway is about 240 sf.

There are 3 cameras/recording/audio devices 24/7 at the barn only. One is mounted on the right and one on the left of the barn for security of our personal property. One is mounted near the road coming into the barn area. There are no cameras near the cabin, hot tub or pool. You have complete privacy once past the barn. There are cameras near all deer feeders for our wildlife census exemptions.

In order to keep our wildlife exemption with the County we may have university Students that come onto the property to do their research from May - December. The students do not come near the cabin and will have no contact with guests. We try to schedule their visits during orphan days and no guests are present. But sometimes it's not possible and you may see them doing their research on insects, plants and aquifers.

During the winter months our "native lady bugs" look for warm places to stay. If the doors are left open they may fly in and usually stay on the ceilings where it's warm. Please try to keep the doors closed as much as possible. Our lady bug friends can be vacuumed up if you should see one or two.
