Upon arrival, your temperature will be checked with a contactless infrared thermometer and you will be asked a series of questions regarding your health. Fully vaccinated guests can skip the temperature check. We ask that you notify us immediately if you develop any symptoms of COVID-19. If a case of COVID-19 were to be confirmed at the ranch, we will provide the contact info of all who could be affected to local health authorities for contact tracing.
Our kitchen operates with enhanced food safe and heightened cleaning protocols and our food supply chain management and ordering is optimized to allow additional time for sanitizing.
PPE such as face shields, masks, and gloves are in use where appropriate. Masks will continue to be mandatory in our spa for both guests and staff for the duration of the 2021 season.
Our dining area has been changed to enable physical distancing between guests. Only guests travelling together will share a table, with 6’ separation between tables maintained at all times. Tables and chairs will be sanitized immediately after each use. We have discontinued family-style and buffet dining, all meals are served plated. Room service is available.
High touch surfaces such as counters, light switches, door handles, as well as common areas and equipment are sanitized constantly, hand sanitizer is available for your use. While all rooms and cabins are cleaned meticulously before your arrival, we will not offer daily housekeeping.
We are limiting our maximum occupancy to 10 guests to ensure physical distancing for staff and guests at all times. If a 6’ distance cannot be maintained (transportation in one of our vehicles, either from and to the airport or to an activity), masks are mandatory for our staff and guests.
Activities are conducted with individual guides for guests travelling together. The only small group activities will be yoga and meditation classes, and a 6’ physical distance will be ensured at all times. Classes will be conducted outside weather-permitting.
The use of our sauna, pool, and fitness room will only be for guests travelling together at a time. Our team is happy to schedule a time for you, all areas will be thoroughly sanitized after use.
Our spa operates under the same meticulous cleaning and sanitizing procedures and our spa therapists will be wearing masks at all times during your appointment.
