    Welcome to the Wilson Ranches Retreat Bed and Breakfast in North Central Oregon. A 9,000 acre working cattle ranch takes you off the beaten track to our rustic hideout. Break free of the daily details and enjoy a rejuvenating stay in a quiet and peaceful environment. Enjoy golfing at the Kinzua Hills Golf Course, a 4x4 Sunset Ranch Tour with a magnificent view of the Cascade Mountain Range, a horseback ride in a geologically and historically rich area of Wheeler County, or a quiet hike to view the wildlife and diverse plant life on Wilson Ranches. You will be captivated by this incredible secluded scenic area. The Retreat is a great place to headquarter your exploration of the Clarno, Sheep Rock, and Painted Hills Units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. The John Day River offers world class bass fishing and river rafting trips. We invite you to become part of our ranch family and share in our lifestyles celebrating anniversaries, weddings, family reunions, or just relaxing in the wide-open spaces on Wilson Ranches. Wilson Ranches Retreat provides a comfortable setting for meetings and corporate retreats. Let the Retreat be your home away from home.

    Extremely Hospitable Hosts!

    October 01, 2012

    Phil and Nancy are the best BnB hosts we've experienced to date. I got several maps of the area prior to arriving and Nancy gave me a map that was much better than the ones I had collected. All I can say about the break, besides Delicious, it was incredible! We'll be back!!!

    Local Treasure

    March 01, 2012

    We are local folks living in the same county in which the Wilson Ranches Retreat is located. My husband I had an opportunity to stay at the retreat recently and found the retreat to be a treat. The other guests were pleasant and interesting to visit. The home cooked breakfast was tasty and memorable. We plan on stay there again. I would highly recommend you visit, and stay 2 nights. :)

    Great Ranch Experience!

    January 16, 2012

    We came here on our honeymoon. It was our first stop and it was awesome to relax and kick off a great trip. Since then we've been back with our daughter who is in LOVE with the horses. It's a great place to enjoy no matter what your family status. Phil and Nancy are fabulous hosts that make you immediately feel like part of the ranch. We will definitely be back!

    Brodehl's stay at Wilson ranch

    January 04, 2012

    We found theWilson Ranch Bed and Breakfast by accident the first time. We just saw their sign on the road and decided to take a chance and stay there. We were pleasantly surprised at what we found. The rooms were clean and tastefully furnished. The breakfast was wonderful. It was more than enough. It was like a 5 star breakfast... It was a quiet and relaxing place to stay. Deer wondered around in the yard at night and we saw herds of elk as well. We were impressed.by the helpful owner/hosts Phil andNancy. The next ime we stayed at their ranch was on purpose.. Because the following day was Thanksgiving they made arrangements for us to have a big Thanksgiving dinner in Fossil. We would certainly recommend anyone to visit their Bed and Breakfast. We will certainly return in the future. Roy & Rosalee Brodehl.

    Happy Trails at Wilson Ranches Retreat

    December 24, 2011

    We enjoyed our stay at Wilsons' so much that when our older daughter got married and her French family arrived from Lyon for the wedding we took them to the Wilson Ranch for several days of horseback riding and enjoying life in the Old West. It was one of the best experiences in our lives - and the French family as well! We all agreed that whether coming from Bend or France the experience is wonderfully unique!

    Thanks for the memories

    December 19, 2011

    Summer 2010: Spending time with my daughter is always priceless. Spending a couple days at Wilson Ranch with my daughter was not only priceless but an experience we both will forever ever cherish. Leaving the big city lights for vibrant star filled nights, leaving traffic for awesome horses, having the best home cooked meals, enjoying hospitality second to done ( THANK YOU PHIL AND NANCY ), seeing beautiful country that goes forever, moving cattle on awesome horses...............Oh, being saddle sore feels so good!!!! Can not wait to return. Thank you Wilson Ranch. Barry & Nicole Hasson, Lake Oswego, Oregon

    For all the family

    December 19, 2011

    I love Wilson Ranches Retreat. As a newer American citizen it opened my eyes up to a western rural experience that is far from wild. Phil and Nancy have a GREAT family and the B & B is super comfortable. I have 3 grown up kids living in England and Australia and I have made sure that they all have experienced the ranch at different times. My kids loved their experiences and will be returning soon. We have also visited with a group of friends and had a great time. We highly recommend the experience for family or groups of friends or even if you want a quiet retreat for yourself!

    Wilson Ranches Retreat is Amazing!

    December 19, 2011

    Don't let Wilson Ranches Retreat pass you by! The rooms are very welcoming, the breakfasts are delicious, and Phil and Nancy's company can't be beat. My husband and daughter go on a father/daughter weekend each year. They have so much fun, that my son and I had to come just this once. What an awesome experience!
