We are open year-round! Our Heritage Guest Ranch has activities and lodging for the winter and early spring! Enjoy gorgeous scenery while feeding livestock in the winter and baby calves and foals are arriving during the spring.
Because of the land and the history of our ranch, we have a large variety of activities. Each package is designed to fulfill a unique piece of history: pre-historic times when mammoths, oreodons and saber tooth cats once roamed; Native American life following large herds of bison while living off the land; pioneer days when this country was being settled; or modern-day ranch work.
Our Activities include:
- Train watching.
- Workshops for artists and photographers.
- Health retreats.
- Trail rides and ranch experiences.
- Stargazing.
- Fossil hunting.
We invite large groups. We have hookups for water and electricity supplied for five trailers, and much more space for those needing primitive areas to park. Our accommodations include:
A lovely house with two bedrooms and a hide-a-bed couch, with full kitchen and bath, for those wanting a home away from home.- In our arena we have two apartments. Each has a full bath and three bedroom areas. One apartment has three available beds; the other has four available beds. There is a kitchen across the yard filled with everything needed to create your meal. Dishes, pots and pans, coffee makers, toasters, microwave oven, stove and refrigerators.
All linens are supplied.- The first apartment has a queen size bed and hide-a-bed couch on the first floor. There is a split loft with a full size bed on each side. The other apartment has two day beds in one loft, two twin beds on the other side of the loft with queen-size and full-size hide-a-bed couches on the main floor.
We have 26 indoor stalls in our many barns, and several horse-fenced corrals.
These arrangements are perfect for groups or family reunions. Special prices are available for groups or family reunions.
Our staff is family which gives a personal touch to our guests.
Our family enjoys being your hosts and hostesses. Rick and Jean will enjoy hosting you, along with Clayton and his family, when they are at the ranch. We love our ranch and everything we do on it. Sharing it with you is a wonderful bonus for us. We enjoy making the visit here on the ranch as beneficial to you as it has been for us.
Jean Norman, the owner of Our Heritage Guest Ranch, has worked in various areas of tourism as a wrangler and tour guide at Fort Robinson. She has been training horses since she was a teenager, preparing her father’s Thoroughbreds for racing, and reformed them after racing for other jobs. Nebraska Sunset, a horse she trained as a teenager, was inducted to the Polo Hall of Fame in 2017.
Rick, Jean’s husband, has a deep love for horses and the country life. He enjoys riding with our guests.
