Intimate luxury in a boutique hacienda-style guest ranch.

In Short
In the 1930s, cowboy artist Lon Magargee hand-built this hideaway to serve as his studio and guest ranch. Renovated and restored as a luxury boutique resort, it's a touchback to an earlier era with all the ammenities and luxuries of today. Distinctive touches enliven the intimate scale of this resort, the most notable being paintings by Magargee and Old-West photos. Thirty-five adobe guest cottages are distinctive in configuration and decor, while the lodge is accented with beehive fireplaces and wood-beamed ceilings. Lon's restaurant offers creative American-style cuisine both indoors and outdoors.
