Thanks again for the amazing visit at Marble Mountain Ranch. We are already figuring out how we can return this Spring or Summer. Doree is getting all the photos touched up and will send them your way (including the desiccated Salmon head). I can't stress enough how much like family we felt staying with you all. Introducing our kids to... More

Hey Mike, Doree and boys ("spawn #1 and spawn#2) !!!! It was indeed a special Thanksgiving, wasn't it! Our surprise visit from Tony and his guitar, the AGI gunsmith gang, the fantastic Thanksgiving food, and the "zombie salmon attack" all made it a once in a lifetime adventure...

I used to live near Forks of Salmon and this was my first visit to the area in 16 years. Doug and Heidi welcomed us with warm hospitality, a cozy, immaculate cabin with ironed sheets! and every comfort imaginable.

Hi Anne, glad you enjoyed the "ironed sheets" . Most people don't pick-up on those little details. I enjoyed chatting with you about the local history, and appreciated your follow-up with details on the "Dear Mad"m" / Patterson ranch location(s).

I was getting burnt out at work and needed a vacation fast so I didn't have any kind of time to plan a trip with friends. I had always wanted to spend time on a guest ranch, so I researched places like Canada, Montana, Wyoming but stumbled across MMR right here in my own state. I was still a bit... More

Hi Leanne, thank you for trusting us with your vacation as a single traveler.

HelloTrrydms and family, thank you for the amazing review! Your comments about the boys never asking for the i-pad or i-phone reminds me of a young boy traveling here with his grandmother.
