Lodging and Meals

Relax in our historic lodge and soak up the ambiance of years gone by in front of a blazing fire in our marble and cedar fireplace. Venture outside for a hike and experience the tranquility of the snow capped Ruby Mountains and surrounding hillsides. Watch the cowboys sorting cattle in the meadows and corrals below the hilltop headquarters. Learn about the legendary cowboy culture of the West around a campfire. This is your 71 Ranch experience.

Watching the sun dip slowly behind the endless horizon of an evening Nevada sky is a spectator sport from our deck. Recently remodeled and refurbished, the Lodge provides cozy and comfortable accommodations for your stay with us in the Cavvy, Remuda or Wrangler rooms. Separate from the Lodge, the Buckaroo and Halleck cabins each have two adjoining bedrooms with a shared bath for larger families. The Sod House, a cabin complete with the original sod roof from pioneer days, is a favorite accommodation of many guests.

For the Spring, Summer and Fall, our spacious lawn hosts weddings, parties and family gatherings. Our wrap around deck invites social camaraderie. Any type of meal is available – BBQ's are our specialty. You may also have the entire ranch to yourself or for your group if you wish. Just inquire!

Though our overnight capacity is small (up to 15 guests), we are able to accommodate various size groups for daily events. Seminars and small corporate retreats with all the perks of the Hyatt or the Hilton are available, but void of the formality and business-like atmosphere. Our recreation and conference room is perfect for company meetings, and we will work with you to provide whatever amenities you need for your event to be a success.

AND NOW FOR THE BEST PART OF ANY VACATION... THE FOOD!

Jack, better known as “The Cook,” is your Certified Executive Chef and he might well be the most popular man on the ranch. He does banquets, formal dinners and good ole ranch cooking. We cater to weddings, corporate meetings and company parties at the 71 Ranch.

What kind of a cattle ranch would we be if we didn’t serve beef? (The West wasn’t won on salad.) Whether served at a western barbeque on the deck or as prime rib in the dinning room, you will be spoiled forever once you taste real homegrown beef, juicy and tender and cooked to perfection. Forget your diet and enjoy real ranch cooking – hearty and healthy meals with homemade breads, fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, and truly sinful desserts.

The ranch does not have a liquor license, so we do not serve alcoholic beverages. However, you are welcome to BYOB.

A DAY IN THE COUNTRY IS BETTER THAN A WEEK IN THE CITY. THE LIFE OF A COWBOY IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.
