About this property

The Bison Ranch Lodge is a 5-bedroom, 3-1/2 bathroom rustic lodge situated on a real, working bison ranch at the foothills of the Missouri Coteau Ridge near Pingree, North Dakota - where the midwestern farm fields meet the rolling native hills of the western prairie. You might even get an unforgettable view at our herd!

This unique setting lies in the heart of plentiful outdoor experiences including hunting, fishing, bird watching, and simply taking in the serenity of the open prairie.

Please observe our common sense, common courtesy HOUSE RULES and checkout procedures. Failure to leave the property in good condition will result in additional cleaning fees.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, enter our pasture or approach the bison. Although they may appear to be docile or gentle, they are a VERY DANGEROUS animal that should not be provoked.

Wonderful rural stay

We absolutely loved the house and the property. It was so fun seeing the bison graze and sitting by the fire pit under the stars. The house has a rustic feel, but very comfortable, well equipped and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Family Reunion

We loved the Bison Ranch. It was a wonderful place to gather with family throughout the week and a central place for us to visit neighboring towns. My Mom grew up in Carrington and it was a great to see her enjoy her time there.

About the host

Hosted by Kelsey A Krapp

We are a third-generation family farm & ranch which has operated on this slice of heaven for over 90 years. With more than 30 years experience in the bison business and over 20 years as hunting outfitters, the Krapp Family constructed the Bison Ranch Lodge in 2020 in order to better serve our loyal customers who visit from far and wide to fill their freezers with delicious bison meat.

Why they chose this property

Our 5-bedroom, 3-1/2 bathroom rustic lodge is situated at the foothills of the Missouri Coteau near Pingree, North Dakota - where the midwestern farm fields meet the rolling native hills of the western prairie. A place the bison roam.

The Lodge is a testament to the land upon which it sits, utilizing reclaimed materials such as barn wood, steel, rock, repurposed fixtures, and numerous other items acquired from both the home property and other area farms and ranches. You wont find another like it!

This unique setting lies in the heart of plentiful outdoor experiences including hunting, fishing, bird watching, and simply taking in the serenity of the open prairie.
