Roaring Lion Ranch & Retreat

🌿 One Last Stop Before Our Summer Break! 🌿

Today is your last opportunity to visit us before we take a short planning break from May 31–June 7 to prepare our summer and fall schedules.

Need to stock up on your favorite artisan cheeses, organic teas, coffee, honey, soaps, apothecary items, specialty foods, or gifts? Stop in and see us today, Sat 5/30.

We’ll still be periodically monitoring messages during our break, but now is a great time to grab those items you’ve been meaning to pick up before we step away to plan exciting new events, workshops, and experiences for the seasons ahead.

Thank you for supporting local, small business, outdoor education, and donkey rescue. We can’t wait to share what’s coming next!

An Adult Eco-Summer Retreat Experience at Roaring Lion Ranch & Retreat

Slow down. Disconnect. Float. Create. Reconnect with nature and like-minded souls.

Freedom Float Weekend was created for those looking to step away from loud bar scenes, crowded festivals, and the constant noise of everyday life. This is a quieter, grounded outdoor retreat experience focused on simple summer living, creativity, nature, and authentic connection.

Spend the weekend floating in our eco-pond swimming hole or float about our ranch. Enjoy relaxing dockside, creating art in nature, grilling with friends, reading under the trees, swimming under the stars, or simply doing absolutely nothing for once.
