We had a church fall dinner party here. We were able to plug in crock pots in the *heated* pole barn. There was adequate space for everyone indoors and out. The kids all had fun playing football in the field, playing on the playground and riding the hayride (The church provided the hayride, but the point is that there was plenty of space for the hayride to be lenghthy). The kitchen and bathrooms were clean and nice. They provided tables and chairs and there were fun decorations already up. There is a stage in the pole barn as well. Outside there is also a covered pavilion with a fire pit and picnic tables. They also provided some fire circles and roasting sticks for roasting s'mores as well as the wood. Overall a very positive experience.
The Keplers are the best hosts. They allow non-profits open access to their beautiful facilities without cost. Lazy Turtle Ranch is a little slice of Heaven on Earth.
