THE SHELTER

A Modern-Feeling Teepee for Small Groups

The Duck Standard Teepee has a more modern feel than a fire teepee: concrete floor, lights and four single beds, configured to sleep up to five people.

THE AMENITIES

Shared Facilities Keep Things Simple

Teepee guests have access to free showers, a fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals, free firewood and the ranch’s recreational barn amenities—utilities that make overnight stays uncomplicated.

THE PRACTICALS

Transparent Pricing and Pet Policy

The nightly rate is $100; dogs are permitted for an additional $10 per dog, per day—straightforward costs that let you plan exactly how the stay will work for your group.

What the day feels like

What Staying Here Feels Like

Stays at the Duck Standard Teepee are utilitarian and communal: you arrive during the check-in window, settle into a compact teepee outfitted with single beds, and share the ranch’s kitchen, showers and recreational spaces. The setup is arranged for small groups who prefer bringing some personal kit while relying on on-site facilities for cooking, washing and gathering.
