The commercial kitchen worked great for our 25 family members. We loved the open/shared lounge, game area, and bar. It was the perfect place for our mixed ages and interests, yet allowed us all to be together. The outdoor areas were beautiful and provided more opportunities for various activities. The location was easy to get to and close enough to French Lick to enjoy activities there as well. Bunk room was great for kids and two joining rooms for teens and twenties. Bedrooms in the house worked good for couples.

This place is so unique and such a great house for large groups. The kitchen has anything that you may need from an industrial ice maker to every utensil. The land has everything from Elk to a cabin built in the 1800s. We had a great time playing games in the banquet hall, theater room in a silo and a covered bonfire area. We are already working on a trip here in the summer.

We rented the ranch for my daughter’s wedding. It was beautiful, clean, and met all our needs with places for people to sleep. The kitchen was big enough to feed the troops for breakfasts, and we found convenient catering nearby for the dinner. All our dogs stayed the night with us, which made it so more people could come and stay. The host couldn’t have been more helpful, even through accidentally locked doors and power flickers from a rain storm. We would definitely come again!

We held a family reunion and 12 adults several young adults and 12 children ranging from 20 to 2 months stayed for 5 nights and 4 days. Everyone had a great time and no one ran out of things to do. The owners responded very quickly when an issue arose, were very helpful, yet stayed out of our way. We would all like to stay there again.

The best for large reunions!

This was our 4th stay across 12 years, and it was wonderful as always. The location is so peaceful and serene, the buildings have incredible spaces - the kitchen and great room especially! The hosts Dave and Wendy are around if needed, but otherwise just allow our group to enjoy the property. I have nothing but good things to say, and look forward to many more years at Elk Ridge Ranch :)
