Mountain & River Ranch Getaway 1500 private acres

Large ranch with 8000 sqft main house + lookout tower. Ideal for large group getaways. Unique opportunity to rent 1500 private acres with private access to the Eel River. Sleeps 16+ in various bedrooms from spacious to small. Huge great room with central fireplace and bar. Pool table, two pianos, foosball, ping-pong. Two porches.

The star attraction is the pristine beauty combined with privacy, including over a mile private access to the Eel river with a variety of swimming holes. Furthermore, you will find many miles of varied hiking trails, which can also be used for mountain bikes.

You will have the entire ranch available without any other guests. You may encounter ranch staff on the roads as this is a working ranch.

NOTE: Due to size of ranch there is no self-checkin. A time of arrival needs to be arranged with property manager ahead of arrival.

We can accommodate groups larger than 16 by special request. Regardless of the group size, daily rate is calculated as follows: Base rate of $1200 is for 8 guests, then add $75/day per guest for additional. Dogs allowed, $200/stay.

The Tower (see separate listing) is available as add-on for $400/night (sleeps 2 in unique 3-story luxury. Ideal for the "couple of honor" in a getaway group.

The nearest airport is Santa Rosa, which is served by Alaska, American and Avelo.

Santa Rosa Airport also has a helicopter charter service that can transfer people directly from airport to the ranch, landing at the ranch Helipad.

We had a wonderful experience at the ranch. This was a truly special place to spend time with our extended family, take walks, swim in the river, sit around the fire, and enjoy games and conversations.

Gorgeous location - great for groups!

Our group of 15 just spent Thanksgiving together in this remote, beautiful place. You are surrounded by mountains, trees, trails and views. There are so many places to hang-out as a group or to get some personal space.

One of our best Thanksgiving escape!

Nature pure, distant vistas, and vast space to enjoy privately. The riverscape is especially bucolic. The ranch itself has ample cooking facilities, fireplaces inside and outside, and plenty of games. Do your shopping beforehand.

Christfort Ranch exceeded all expectations. The house is incredibly spacious—much bigger than anticipated—and comfortably accommodated our group of 14. The riverfront setting is stunning and peaceful. Having a pickup truck made it easier to access the river, as the road is quite steep. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed for cooking and entertaining, and the check-in process was seamless. It’s rare to find a place that’s this spacious and comfortable for a large group (we had 14 people)—and even rarer that it lives up to the listing. This one absolutely does. We’re already hoping to return!

The most special family weekend!

We stayed at this property for a surprise birthday/family vacation with 8 adults and two kids. It’s hard to put into words how incredible this property is. The house itself is impeccable, perfect for a large group with lux interiors and something for everyone to enjoy. The bar setup is such a fun touch and we got a huge kick out of the mic setup for family karaoke night. But even outside the house the property itself is stunning. Lots of trails to hike and private access to eel river. We also loved booking a day of a skeet shooting to end the weekend. If you are looking to make unforgettable memories with people you love in a beautiful quiet nature filled location it doesn’t get much better than this!
