One year old and already climbing the corporate ladder. 😂🐾

Assistant Intern Teddy celebrated his first birthday this week with new toys, treats, and plenty of attention.

We’re still waiting to see some actual assisting, but he’s awfully cute, so we’ve decided to keep him. 😉

Happy Birthday, Teddy! 🥳

Somewhere in your group chat, there’s probably a conversation that goes something like:

“We need to get everyone together.”
“YES!”
“When?”
“…”

😂

Maybe it’s time to actually make it happen.

A family reunion. A wedding weekend. An anniversary. A celebration. Or even just a few days with people you haven’t seen nearly enough lately.

Cedar River Ranch has room to gather, celebrate, eat, laugh, stay awhile, and enjoy having everyone together.

Now you just have to pick the date. 😉

Our summer intern is headed back to college, and we’re not sure who’s taking it harder: us or her assistant, Teddy. 😂🐾

Today is Emilee’s last day at the Ranch before she starts her senior year at the University of Iowa on Monday.

Emilee is Freda and Jim’s granddaughter and Nikki and Lee’s daughter, so she’s been part of our crew for a whole lot longer than just this summer.

Thanks for everything, Emilee! We’ve loved having you here.

Teddy, your performance review is still pending. 😉

Have a great senior year, Emilee…and Go Hawks! 💛🖤

We’re not quite ready to give up summer, but those orange marigolds are making us think about what’s coming next. 🍂

Cooler days, changing leaves, long walks and evenings around the campfire.

Fall at Cedar River Ranch is pretty hard to beat.

Cedar River Ranch isn't a hotel chain or a giant corporate-owned resort. It's a family-owned place that we get to share with other families.

Seeing people gather here, celebrate here, relax here, and come back again for another trip is a big part of why we love what we do.

Thank you for supporting our small Iowa family, and our small Iowa business. ❤️
