LODGING
Do you charge a resort or amenity fee?
Yes, we have a 5% Resort Fee. This fee helps us provide and maintain experiences that make your stay extra special. It includes:
- Daily hot breakfast buffet
- WiFi in cabins and chalets
- Fat tire bikes and disc golf
- Yard games and fishing supplies
Do you have a gratuity policy for in-house guests?
At Turpin Meadow Ranch, we believe gratuity should be a reflection of exceptional service—not an automatic expectation. Instead of tipping throughout your stay, we present in-house guests with a suggested gratuity of 15% at the end of their visit. This suggested amount is based on your total charges for lodging, food & beverage, and guest activities (retail purchases from our Gift Shop are not included).
We understand that true gratitude comes from moments of outstanding care and connection. Whether it’s a thoughtful gesture from your server, a memorable guided adventure, or the behind-the-scenes work that keeps your cabin spotless and cozy, we want any gratuity left to genuinely reflect the service you received.
All end-of-stay gratuities are pooled and shared equally among our entire team—from housekeepers and kitchen staff to your guides, servers, and front desk hosts—because it takes each and every one of them to make Turpin Meadow Ranch feel like home.
Unlike many guest ranches that apply a mandatory service charge, we feel it’s important that our guests have the choice to tip based on the level of care and hospitality they experienced. If we’ve helped create lasting memories for you, we hope you’ll help us recognize the team that made it possible.
