We are a 10-acre property with breathtaking views of rolling green pastures, massive Oak Trees, and nearby natural springs and rivers. Little Ridge Ranch offers a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Kids and adults love our chickens, sheep and donkeys as well as our neighbors’ cattle and goats.

We pride ourselves on providing a cozy and comfortable atmosphere for our guests. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a romantic escape, or a gathering with friends, each of our two homes (some call them luxury cabins) are located on oposite sides of the property and are designed to cater to your every need. Large flat screen Smart TV's offer all streaming options and we have free early check in when available. 

Our homes are thoughtfully furnished and equipped with modern amenities to ensure your stay is both relaxing and convenient. Each 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchens and cozy living areas. Our pool with a deck overlooking the rear pasture and grazing animals offers a great spot where you can unwind and soak in the natural beauty that surrounds you and gather around the fire pit and enjoy the star lit evenings for s'mores and storytelling.
