We were very fortunate to find this hidden treasure called the Ponderosa Ranch – a beautifully maintained and furnished log home situated on the Raisin river just a minute from Lake St. Francis. The Ranch was perfect for our group of 10 guys with plenty of space to move around and never feeling we were on top of each other. Our late September booking brought cool weather at night but the wood burning stove was perfect to take the chill out of the air. The large dining table was able to accommodate all 10 of us very comfortably with room for many wine bottles. The huge porch provides a great gathering spot for many activities: story telling; watching the activities on the river; and even sleeping. Pierre and RenĂ©e have invested plenty of their labour and energy in making the ranch and the 35 acres of surrounding land such a beautiful property. However, it’s their personal touch that makes the place so welcoming – the owners went out of their way to ensuring that we had a great experience. As a big group who likes to play music, sing and at times be somewhat loud, the Ponderosa was perfect for us as we did not disturb anyone
We are definitely coming back next year
