Inside the Ranch

Indoors & hosting

  • Sleeps 12 adults comfortably (up to 16 if pushed)
  • Six couples

Inside the gate

Close to campus.
Nowhere near campus life.

A master suite with a wood-beamed ceiling, linen bedding, and warm lamplight, its windows looking out over the wildflower meadow and soccer field ringed with purple maples

Rest well

Dual master suites, one on each wing.

Two master suites sit on opposite ends of the Ranch, each with a jetted tub, so two couples can host the group without ever sharing a wall. Four bedrooms in total sleep twelve adults comfortably (up to sixteen if pushed), or six couples.

Gather inside

A log-burning fireplace, and logs that arrive.

The great room is anchored by a 42-inch wood-burning fireplace on a five-foot brick hearth, with an 85-inch TV above the mantel for Game Day. A folding glass wall opens the room and the kitchen onto the patio and fire pit when the evening is worth it.

The bunk room

Four bunks and more consoles than necessary.

A dedicated four-man bunk room doubles as the game room, with multiple consoles wired and ready. It sits behind its own fire-rated assembly, so the noise stays where it belongs.

  • GamingMultiple consoles, wired and ready.

Indoor play

Rain delay? Never heard of it.

A Trackman simulator, a garage door that opens onto a chipping green, and a game room for everything after dark.

A golfer hitting a wedge from the simulator mat out through the open garage door to the chipping green 60 yards away, with white sand bunkers, azalea beds a big live oak at the back of the green, and the road with a stand of tall pines beyond it

The 109th Hole

Trackman inside. Wedges outside.

The Trackman simulator lives in The 109th Hole. Open the garage door and the same hitting bay opens onto the chipping green, so you can hit real 60-yard wedges out into the meadow and walk out to see how close you really got. Then check the live image on the color monitor to decide who was closest.

  • Garage door up60-yard wedges to the chipping green.

Karaoke night in the living room: two guests sing into wireless microphones beside the lit brick fireplace, the TV above the mantel showing the lyrics, while friends cheer from the sofa and leather armchairs

WDR Karaoke Night

I Hate Karaoke Until Someone Hands Me the Microphone

“I hate karaoke.” Excellent. You’re exactly who this night is for. Pick a song, recruit a friend and discover how quickly “absolutely not” becomes “one more.”

How the night runs

An Awesome Night for Reluctant Singers

Start with a group chorus so nobody has to perform alone. Follow with duets, a guilty-pleasure song round and a volunteers-only finale. Guests can sing, cheer, choose songs or simply watch. The host’s first song should make it clear that enthusiasm counts more than talent.

Suggested games

The “I Definitely Do Not Know This Song” Award

For the guest who somehow knows every word.

The Unexpected Headliner

For the quiet guest who takes over the room.

The Rescue Duet

Recruit a friend before the chorus.

The Last Song

A group finale that becomes three more songs.
