| LODGING |
|---|
|
| Accommodations and Lodging options at our California River lodge include fully furnished deluxe homes, housekeeping cottages (or cabins) Marble Mountain Ranch is Siskiyou County's only full service Klamath River Lodge. Our Klamath River cottages and homes vary in size and can accommodate groups as small as two or as large as eight. Each cottage provides beds with linens and towels, bathrooms with toilets and showers and a kitchenette at a minimum. Our group campsite users have free access to a central showerhouse and laundry facilities. Guests utilizing our "all inclusive packages" during our peak season (between Memorial day and Labor Day) will be dining with other guests, staff and family at our ranch dining lodge. If you are visiting during our non-peak season (Before Memorial Day and After Labor Day) you may choose to rent our homes and cottages a-la-carte and design a more self sufficient Klamath River Bed and Breakfast vacation. The kitchen units are stocked with utensils, cookware, stove and a refrigerator and easily enable vacationing chefs. Our lodging capacity is at 50 beds in 10 cottages and two homes, 12 R.V. hook-ups and camping for as many as 400! |
|
| RECREATION |
|---|
|
| In addition to our traditional riding program, we are a “destination fishing resort” and feature guided steelhead fly fishing, targeting the Klamath River, lower Trinity River, and California Salmon via drift boat and raft. We also offer an extensive Whitewater rafting program at Marble Mountain Ranch. Our central location allows you to choose from 10 different "mild to wild" rafting trips all within a half hour shuttle from the ranch. Horseback riding vacations at Marble Mountain Ranch are choreographed to match the rider's skill with the horse and the trail. With clearance from our wrangling staff, more advanced riders can ride faster gates on open trail sections, cross creeks, ancient mining flumes and trail obstacles, and take longer rides that gain in elevation to ridge-tops in the Marble Mountain Wilderness. Opportunities for younger or timid riders include round-pen lessons, arena-style horse riding instruction, and level ranch perimeter trail rides that are shorter and closer to our ranch base. We have something for everyone and also have swimming & water sports, a swimming pool & hot tub, petting zoo, fishing & lessons, ranch crafts, trap house sporting clays, guided or on your own hiking game pavilion and a fitness room. |
|
| FOR CHILDREN |
|---|
|
| Our first attempt is to enable whole family participation in events. When trail rides or rafting exceed the ability level of younger children, we provide arena riding lessons, ranch programs for youth, and easy rafting trips included in your fare price. Toddlers and infants needing baby sitting services during parents absence for activities can use our sitters at $10/hour |
|
| FOOD/LIQUOR |
|---|
|
| During our peak season, all ranch guests share home-style meals with other guests, family, and staff, in our dining lodge. Meals are bountiful as well as eye-pleasing. We serve home-baked breads and deserts, salads, and vegetables fresh from our own garden, and select meats smoked and roasted over native hardwoods. Adventure seeking may be what originally brings you to Marble Mountain Ranch, but our meals will be a surprising highlight that will bring you back again. Please call for more detailed information, to order Heidi's cookbook or for sample menus. |
