The Ranch Story
Founded by two friends—Amity and Jennifer—The 1890 Ranch is built on a shared love of horses, hospitality, and heartfelt community. With backgrounds in business, mental health, and ranch operations, they created a modern homestead for their “human herd” to connect, ride, and thrive.
We proudly partner with our sister property, Wayfinding Guest Ranch, to offer seasonal retreats, therapy programs, intimate event venues and respite experiences.
