Perfection!

Words can not describe this place. Perfect up north lake life destination with extreme privacy. Very comfortable location for big groups.... Lots of bedrooms and baths. Tons of additional toys and activities (fishing, shooting, kayaking, hiking, yard games.... ). The staff was amazing at organizing meals and activities and made everyone feel comfortable. Absolutely flawless from beginning to end. Thank you to Robert, Pam, Kyle, Jason and team for making this a perfect bachelor party. Also, the Wilderness Center is a jaw dropping experience that must not be missed. There is no place like it on planet earth. I would give 6 stars if I could.

Family Reunion

We loved our time at Legends Ranch. All family members had their own rooms. The fishing lake was awesome. The fish were healthy and hearty. Everyone succeeded. One family member caught his largest bass ever!. The swimming lake was very refreshing with cool clean water and a dock. The living rooms in each wing of the lodge offered a great gathering space for streaming home movies, etc. The central dining room, set meal times and excellent food insured attendance by all family members no matter how much fun they were having elsewhere on the property. Pam and the staff did everything possible to make our stay memorable.

AMAZING!!!

This place was even better then expected! We brought our family here for a long weekend to step outside and get married and it exceeded expectations! The Lodge was warm and cozy and each room has its own private bathroom. It has tons of space for every one to have their own space if they want some quiet time or sitting areas to hangout with others. Pam was wonderful to work with leading up to our stay and throughout the weekend, along with Jason, Beth, and August! We can not say enough great things about all of the them, and the food was UNREAL!!! We have not stopped talking about the food! The entire staff were so helpful and went above and beyond! Aside from the amazing food and service, we spent our days fishing out on the pontoons, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking around the gorgeous 1500 acre property, playing cornhole and just relaxing on the patio/lawn. Couldn't ask for a better weekend! Thank you!

Perfect reunion site

Legends Ranch is a fantastic property with even more fantastic staff! We had a three-family reunion, with kids from 1-15, and there was plenty of space for all. We elected to have meals prepared for us, which were plentiful and delicious, and gave us lots of extra time to spend together. The kids loved kayaking and fishing in the lake. Beth even gave us fishing lessons, and cleaned and cooked the fish they caught!

Legends - Great place for our family vacation- stayed July 7th till the 13th 2019

Let me start by saying WOW, great place to have our family vacation and celebrate our 30 year wedding anniversary. I was looking for a location that fit all our needs, and Legends nailed it. Our party was made up of 13 adults and 7 kids from 3 years to 11 years old. Was looking for a place that I could book the whole location out so it would be private, wanted to be able to go fishing, swimming, camp fires, hiking and enjoy the outdoors. Let me just say Legends offers all of that and more. Breakfast was included in the package every day and I worked with Lawrence (the chef) to tailor a dinner menu for each evening. The food was fantastic. Had skirt steak tacos one night, perch dinner, smoked ribs and chicken, best food ever, not to mention desert after each dinner, outstanding. All the meals, breakfast and dinner were 5 star all the way. They have two smaller type pontoon boats to use on the lake right in front of the lodge we stayed in. All the boys and adults got a lot of fishing in. I caught a Northern Pile which was about 32 inches. One of my sons caught 3 Pike while there and my nephew caught one as well, all good size. Caught plenty of Bass and also crappie, sunfish and blue gill. The boys went fishing every day and had a blast. One day I had it set up for us to go rafting and kayaking on the Pete Marquette River, Pam, the Lodge Manager set it up and had Baldwin Canoe Rental pick us up in a bus and off we went spending a great day on the river. For our 30 year wedding anniversary, Robert (owner) let us use the new wildlife center, that place is amazing. I have never seen so many beautiful animal mounts all in one place before from all over the work, had to be more that 1000 of them. I had a band come in and play that night, ever one had a great time. If you like campfires and hanging out around them in the evening with Friday and family your going to love their set up. All the kids and everyone got to go and bottle feed the fawns, everyone loved that. Also got to ride the trails and spot some monster bucks still in velvet, that for me was one of the best parts of our stay. Let me also say the entire staff did and amazing job. Pam, Beth and Lawrence along with all the guides made sure everything was perfect. Got to use the gun range as well. Our last day, Robert, provided a special touch for the kids by setting up a water balloon and water gun fight, kids had a blast. I highly recommend this place. My special thanks to everyone at Legends.

Legends Ranch is truly a World Class Facility with 5-Star services and amenities.

Legends Ranch is truly first class. The management and staff are hands-on and make you feel like you are visiting their home; they care deeply about each aspect of your stay. The lodging is upscale, very clean, up to date and well maintained. The 9 bedrooms, 9.5 bathrooms, massive dining room, the bar lounge and sitting area are just the beginning. The Ranch Chef embraces the new trend in the U.S. of healthier food and a greater variety of ingredients. We were served meats, fish, chicken, vegetables, pasta, homemade bread and desserts, and all our meals were made from fresh ingredients. Also offered to guests were quality, fun, and safe outdoor activities such as two-pound lakes to fish, swim in, or kayak on, and other water activities along with a variety of scenic walking trails where we saw a variety of deer and other wildlife. In the evenings, the massive covered fire pit area provided the perfect setting to enjoy a s’more around the campfire and to visit with new-found friends, where many stories were told, and where memories were both made and shared. The staff of Legends Ranch and the leadership of Special Ops Survivors met several months ago to discuss what type of nature and wellness retreat they could organize for our Gold Star Spouses. Robert (Director, Legends Ranch) bent over backward to host a memorable retreat for the survivors. Our Spouses came to the ranch not understanding what real peace of mind is. After the 4-night retreat, they all left with a whole new mindset on life, feeling refreshed and ready to face the world’s most significant challenges. Some of our spouses used words as amazing, breathtaking, mind-numbing and peaceful to describe this magical place. Legends Ranch is unique – the staff is incredibly supportive of our Military and Gold Star Families. The hospitality is truly unbelievable. You will create memories here! You can’t begin to explain how one feels after a stay at the ranch by merely reading this review. You must experience it firsthand. Special Ops Survivors stayed at the ranch from 18-22 July 2018, and it was just perfect. We look forward to - and cannot wait - until next year. Book your stay today!
