Stayed Mar 30, 2024The ranch is a unique gem. It was wonderful to have the space to spend time and relax with everyone coming in from 4 states and 6 cities. We could not have found a more lovely, comfortable and spacious place for our gathering. The views, animals, game room, and terraces provided everyone so many options for entertainment or quiet time as desired. Just be sure to bring your walking shoes to find each other up and down the 3 flights and halls of the ranch, or to enjoy a nice long walk in the peaceful surroundings.

Stayed Apr 12, 2024Wonderful weekend at this beautiful location and home. Plenty of space, bedrooms, bathrooms for everyone. Spa tub was great. Walking on property and seeing all animals was fun. Wish we could have stayed longer! Would definitely return - so perfect for large groups. Joe, the Ranch Hand was great as well!

Stayed Oct 13, 2023Another fantastic family gathering at Brixen Ivy! 17 adults and 8 children, ranging in age from almost 1 to 84, spread between the main lodge and the Sunset Cottage, and everyone had a wonderful time and plenty of space to spread out in. A huge well-stocked kitchen as well as two additional smaller kitchens made it easy to keep everyone well-fed and keep everyone's favorite beverages chilled. We were enchanted by the amazing views from the giant wrap-around porch, and the kids had a blast visiting the goats, llamas, cows, turkeys and ducks and running around on the baseball field. Adults enjoyed having many walking trails to choose from, and we all loved the fire pit and the swim spa. Family gatherings at Brixen Ivy have become become a treasured tradition in our family.
