There is close access to the Mississippi River as well as your own private stocked pond for fishing and swimming.  Miles of private hiking trails will lead you to Indian burial mounds and stunning views of the river.  Located atop a 500 foot bluff on the Mississippi River you will find many places to relax and enjoy nature and the views.  A huge gazebo invites storytelling and s'mores as you stay warm by the fire pit.  
Travel only 5 miles to the charming small town of Potosi where you'll find shops with locally made goods, ice cream, restaurants and the historic Potosi Brewery. Multiple golf courses and wineries are nearby.  Take a short ferry ride for a unique travel experience that expands your entertainment options across river.  No pets allowed.

175 Acre Riverfront Custom Retreat - The Great River Ranch

We booked this location for a golf outing/ weekend getaway and had a great time. The location is absolutely stunning. From the pool room, to multiple bars, the theatre room, the firepit, the huge kitchen. We were worried the place was too good to be true, and we were glad that it delivered. The property was beautiful, clean, more than enough to meet and exceed all of our needs. Highly recommend!

Great Getaway

This property is incredible. The three houses were in immaculate shape when we arrived with 20+ guests and slept all of us comfortably. The amount of space available is almost overwhelming. The private pond was big enough for some to swim, some to kayak, and others to fish without a problem. The highlight of our week was the indoor pool and spa which was maintained super well, clean, and the perfect temperatures.

If I could rate it higher than a 5 I would. I recommend this property to anyone with a large group. The hosts were super gracious, understanding and accommodated all of my questions before, during, and after our stay.

Thank you so much to Chris, Katie, and Tony for an awesome weekend!

Incredible space!

Everything worked out beautifully! It was perfect and had everything we needed. Thank you so much for sharing your ranch! We did over 10 cold plunges in the pond, loved the pool, loved the fire pit, and the practice space worked out great. We even did our main lecture in the theater! Our chef said the kitchen worked beautifully! I kept being amazed by all the little details that made the house over-the-top like the hidden bathroom in the kitchen pantry, all of the washer/dryer units (two in the pantry!), the plethora of wood for fires, the easy to heat hot tub, the waterfall into the pond, the kayaks, and beautiful dishes. The interior design was a delight from the door knobs to the light fixtures to the pretty canisters for the tide pods.

Special Place for Wellness Retreat

Our stay at the Great river ranch was amazing. It allowed us the wedding of our dreams. The owners and property manager Chris, were so accommodating to us and us having our wedding there, it was literally perfect. The weather was perfect, we rented an outdoor tent with heaters and walls just in case, there was plenty of space in the backyard for it. We were able to have 2/3 of our wedding guests stay overnight there because the place has so much sleeping availability (we had a small wedding of 50). The house was a hit, very well built for large gatherings, and those guests that stayed for the weekend were able to enjoy the indoor pool and hot tub which was amazing. Many of our weekend guests were also able to enjoy the movie theater room, which was especially a hit on Sunday for football. The night of the wedding we were even able to have a campfire in the outdoor covered gazebo area that is again perfectly setup for a group fire, lights outside and everything. The mansion has 3 huge suites with bathrooms that each set of parents and us were able to stay in and utilize on the wedding day for getting ready, so convenient. We were also able to rent out the new 'farmhouse' for a whole family of ours that were a part of the wedding, which worked out perfectly with the 2 bedroom combo, it even has its own kitchen and living room, fully remodeled. The bunkhouse was absolutely perfect for all the littles and the other guest couples that were in attendance, they had their own space to retreat to which was nice. Overall, absolutely amazing property, local cupcakes by Jess on arrival when you get there are to die for, and the local Ellenboro Saloon owner Ron, made a rehearsal dinner that we are still thinking about a month later, it was that amazing. Again, just absolutely amazing property that made our wedding dreams come true.

Wedding of our Dreams

Our stay at the Great river ranch was amazing. It allowed us the wedding of our dreams - it was literally perfect! The owners and property manager Chris were awesome to work with as well.  We rented an outdoor tent and there was plenty of space in the backyard for it. We were able to have 30 of our 50 wedding guests stay overnight there because the place has so much sleeping availability. The house was a hit, very well built for large gatherings, and those guests that stayed for the weekend were able to enjoy the indoor pool and hottub which was amazing. Highly recommend this property - truly amazing!!
