There were only three votes, making picking a winner difficult. As such, I have decided to open up voting for another two weeks. You won't be able to post new photos, as that part of the contest is over. But please vote for your top three favorite photos by February 14. I'll announce the winner on the 15th and the photo will be up for the rest of February and all of March. So get out there and vote!

Happy New Year from El Rancho! There's a new blog post on the website. We're grateful for our campers and those who come horseback riding with us. We look forward to seeing you next year!

El Rancho wishes you a happy holiday season! May your heart be filled with peace and joy!

Hello seasonals. We hope December is treating you well so far. We’re aware that the post office didn’t get the October billing out at all. We also know not everyone got the November bill. We’re sorry for the delay and confusion. We took the interest charges off relative to the electric bill and sent out the December bill. If there are any questions, contact Kevin at (320) 249-1451. Wishes to you and your family for a safe and wonderful Christmas and New Year’s!

Happy Saturday from El Rancho!

Hello seasonals. We hope you’re enjoying your fall. El Rancho has sent out two mailings of bills, the first just before Indigenous Peoples’ Day (formerly known as Columbus Day). We don’t know what happened with the mail, as it appears no one received the first bills.

Please pay your bill as soon as possible but deduct the interest shown on the second bill. If you’ve already paid your bill prior to seeing this, we’ll credit your account for the interest. Kevin has no intention of charging interest on a bill no one received. If you have questions, call Kevin directly at (320) 249-1451. If you did happen to receive the first bill and you kept the envelope, please send that to us. We’d like to research with the post office what went wrong.

Hey, you! Scrolling on your phone... Did you know El Rancho has seasonal sites available? We also have campers for sale on-site. Call the office at (320) 597-2740 for more information.

El Rancho is now closed for trail riding for the season. We would like to thank everyone who rode with us this year. Have a safe and cozy winter. We hope to see you next spring when we announce the start of a new season.
