About Us
Eden Valley Guest Ranch has long been a dream of ours. The resort was in the preliminary planning stage for a number of years while we finished our degrees and then worked in the Puget Sound. The planning, access, permitting, surveying, excavation, utilities, construction and landscaping phase lasted for over a decade. The cattle and grain ranch is where Robin and her brother Tim were raised. Over 200 people have contributed ideas that were incorporated in the resort. The type of facility, the location, the layout and orientation of the cabins, the themes, and many other features are examples.

The resort blends into the side of a mountain. Four cabins
are sided in new pine boards sawed from dead trees by
Robin's dad, Oscar. The lodge and six of the ten cabins are
sided in boards of history. Eleven historic buildings beyond
repair were carefully taken apart to preserve the old boards
for siding. One of the historic building sites was the
Poland China Gold Mine. Robin's mother, Nadra helped with
many design issues and theme fulfillment throughout the
project. Oscar and Pat's dad, Norman found themselves busy
with numerous tasks to help finish the construction.
Eden Valley Guest Ranch is also a window into American Family Farming. This active ranch raises cows, grain and hay. Antique and classic equipment from the 1930s through the present is used for all practices.
We have many landscaping projects planned for the upcomming year. We plan to spend more time with each other and our horses, and maybe get to some of the numerous local lakes for a few quick fishing trips. We are looking forward to spending time with our guests and some campfires under the stars. We enjoy helping guests find fun activities.
