A 4WD or AWD VEHICLE IS A MUST due to unpaved, steep mountain roads and the potential for high levels of snow in the spring and fall seasons. Roads leading to the cabin become very slippery and dangerous with extensive rains. If heavy rains occur during your stay, you may be required to remain in the cabin as long as the road conditions are dangerous. If heavy rains occur prior to your arrival, it could cause a delay with your check-in. Please note that there is a 10’ clearance height restriction at the entrance gate.
The loft is great for kids however due to the steep ladder access, this space is only suitable for children of at least 6 years of age.
It is very important to closely monitor your electricity consumption by turning off all lights when not in use. There is NO cell phone service but a signal can be obtained 3 miles down the road near the ranch entrance or the office.
PETS or ANIMALS of ANY KIND are NOT PERMITTED. The Bair Ranch is a working ranch where livestock and wild animals are abundant. There are large dogs roaming the grounds periodically herding the livestock. Bringing a domestic animal to the property could be dangerous to the livestock as well as the ranch dogs.
THIS IS A NON-SMOKING PROPERTY. The use of tobacco, cannabis, or vapor devices is strictly prohibited. Disregarding this Rule may result in a fine.
The Cabin does NOT have air conditioning although there are fans for your comfort. It stays fairly cool in the summer due to the higher elevation.
