Absolutely Wonderful
My family’s stay at Double Boar Ranch was absolutely wonderful! The house and property are spacious and beautiful! Our group of 16 was comfortable and had room to spread out. Everything that we could possibly need was on site. The kitchen was well appointed and fully stocked with anything one would need to cook for a large group of people. The property manager was very kind and accommodating. She went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was wonderful and memorable! We would definitely love to come back for another stay. I highly recommend Double Boar Ranch.

Wonderful property and house
Our family of 10 stayed here for a week. House was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, etc. Beds are very comfortable. Even the decks were kept clean, and we enjoyed sitting out there and watching the deer come by. The trails on the property were well maintained and fun to explore. Would highly recommend this property.

The Valigorsky Stay at Double Bore June 2024
We loved Double Bore!! The space, the amenities, furnishings, all of it. Even the resident garden snake in the driveway that we called Gary. Though it was 90+ degrees every day, we could sit outside comfortably. Everything was clean and in very good condition. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped and now we are spoiled frequently m having 2 large refrigerators, a beer/wine fridge and chest freezer! We hope we did ok with the water and septic.

Huge cabin, plenty of space for our family.
Very impressive property. I asked my grandson what his favorite thing about the cabin was, he said "my bathroom". Each bedroom has it's on bathroom. We walked all of the trails on the property, they could use a little maintenance, but nice of the owner to even have trails. We enjoyed the large wrap around multi-level deck and the fire pit area. Please think about adding a pinball machine to the game room. We will definately return next spring.

Incredible beyond belief!
We just cannot say enough about this amazing property, from the gorgeous and spacious home, to the peaceful and beautiful surrounding property. Everyone in our family, ages 6-88, said this was the perfect vacation. The host took so much time to pay attention to detail and it was greatly appreciated - from the stocked kitchen, to the huge dining tables inside and out, to providing firewood, to the well marked trails. We had such a relaxing week and fully enjoyed the outdoors, especially the back porch! It was a week of creating amazing memories. It is the most comfortable and roomy VRBO we have stayed in over the past 15 years, and something our family is looking forward to doing again!

Here for an annual heavenly birthday celebration. Great accommodations, very well equipped kitchen and attention to detail around every corner. Although the weather was uncooperative and we were unable to enjoy the outdoors, the indoor offerings more than made up for it. No unexpected surprises, everything was as described. Will definitely be back.

Women’s weekend
Our group of friends has been getting together for a fall weekend for 35 years. The property was beautiful and we enjoyed our time there. Many outdoor and indoor spaces to enjoy our time together. We like to cook and the kitchen is well stocked. Our only thought was the size of the kitchen- a little tight compared to the size of the house. Zirvika was very responsive and helpful to our questions.
