Eden Valley Guest Ranch.

Eden Valley Guest Ranch has nearly 900 acres of wildlife habitat in the Okanogan Highlands of north central Washington.  We have integrated wildlife concerns into our strategic plan for the operation.  We have only ten cabins, so wildlife generally outnumber the guests.  The cabins are placed to provide guests with incredible, long range views, yet they are a small footprint on the ranch.  The farming operation provides food for birds, deer and other wildlife.  Many coyotes, and even bobcat, have been seen hunting rodents in the fields.  Hawks learn to follow the tractor or combine for an easy dinner out.  Owls replace the hawks at night with vigils on posts, trees or power poles.  One owl uses the basketball hoop by Eden Valley Lodge as its special perch.  Song birds summer in the draws, which are not cut for hay until the birds move on.  It is important that the tall grass be cut though as it creates raging paths for wildland fire later in our very dry summers riddled with lightning storms and we need the hay for livestock.

Eden Valley Guest Ranch is very unique in that we have attempted to create a balanced environment between small numbers of guests, wildlife, livestock, a variety of crops and grasslands while preserving our history.  You will understand when we ask you not to put hot cakes outside your cabin, won't you?
