Boar's Lodge at Willow Sky Ranch offers the best of both worlds—a rustic, camping-style experience with the convenience and coziness you deserve.

This property is steeped in history, featuring the original 1860s settlers cabin, the original windmill, and a herd of blackbuck antelope grazing in the pasture, offering guests the chance to observe wildlife day and night. Guests staying in the three separate living spaces can enjoy shared common areas, including pool, hot tub, large fire pit, a full-sized teepee, and expansive acres of walking space to explore.

The Willow Sky Ranch offers three unique living spaces, each listed independently: the 1905 Main Home, Boar's Lodge, and the Bird's Nest Tree House. Guests can choose to book any of these individually or reserve the entire property for a completely private getaway. For those booking the entire ranch, there's also the option to include a one-of-a-kind dance hall, complete with a stage, bar, and a 3,000 sq. ft. dance floor.
