Feels like home

Our family loved our stay! We made use of the heated garage for meals and games. There were many conversation areas. The game area in the basement was perfect for the younger ones in the group. The beds were very comfortable. It was great to have four main ones and an overflow with many bunks. 4 bathrooms, 2 up, 2 down was an amazing plus. We even made use of the whirlpool in the master bath.The kitchen/dining layout was great for our size family.Thanks for a perfect getaway in Starbuck!

Annual Family Vacation

This is the second time we used this property for our family vacation. This place is awesome and fit the needs of our family very well. We love the spacious home and the big yards for our kids and grandchildren to experience tons of fun! The swings, sandbox, and outdoor fire pit were great additions! There was plenty of space for our large group of 21! Thanks to Jim and Twyla for being such great hosts.

Great stay

Great stay and owners were very kind. The only things to note were there were a couple in person check ins that were a bit surprising and we would have appreciated some heads up, particularly with small children around we wouldn’t have wanted them to come across strangers, so that’s our feedback on how to make the stay more comfy and why the one less star. And second note there was a hot tub listed but there wasn’t one. All things considered it was still a great place to stay and we appreciate the hosts for sharing their home!

Fantastic Stay in Rural MN

Our family of 7 adults and 6 children (ages 8 months to 8 years) found all the comforts of home at Clear Springs Cattle Ranch. The lower level play area and bunk room provided space for kids and allowed quiet conversations upstairs for the adults. Multiple bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The swing-set and sandbox were favorites of the kids!

This is a fantastic home with caring and considerate hosts. This is a perfect annual gathering space for 9 adult siblings and some children and grandchildren. The heated garage with a counter and tables/chairs is a bonus that gave us lots of conversation areas and lots of space to spread out. 2025 will be our third year here. Thank you to Jim and Twyla!

Peaceful, Pleasant Stay for Families

This beautiful, clean home offers so much opportunity for fun and relaxation. The house has plenty of dishes, towels, and a large dining room table with extra chairs. The covered porch is a lovely place to visit or listen to the birds. Outside the back lawn is perfect for kids to run, and the nearby state park has a lake for fishing and non-motor boats. The beach in town is great for hot days (and the air conditioning in the house is fantastic too)! The hosts are extraordinarily kind and helpful. And you can get a taste of farm life at this exceptional place!

An experience we will never forget!

I don't even know where to start... Jim & Twyla were beyond accommodating and the property was everything and more. From the unbelievable sunsets, Twyla's homemade zucchini bread, Jim letting the kids help him feed the cattle, watching our kids be kids jumping on haystacks and playing in the bunkroom, Brady stopping by with great information and delicious steaks, bonfires next to a cornfield, touring the property on a hayride, to enjoying the trails within Glacier Lake State park - all of us wanted to stay longer. We can't thank the Wulf family enough. Anyone who is contemplating if they should try this unique experience, should just book it and enjoy the serene, fresh air, and kind souls here!

Friend get together at the ranch!!

The property was very clean and in excellent condition. The location in the rolling hills of central Minnesota was beautiful. Members of our group bicycled to the nearby state park and others drove to enjoy the parks amenities. The town of Starbuck is about a 10 minute drive away. Starbuck offers a nice beach and small shops. The owner's were attentive to every small detail. There was a welcome loaf of banana bread waiting for us upon our arrival. We did the 2 hour ranch tour by hayride. It was very enjoyable, informative and educational. We purchased a steak package. The steaks were outstanding! The weekend was enjoyed by all members of our group.and the hosts went above what was expected to make us feel at home!

What a great place for a 50th Anniversary

This property worked out perfect for our family, all 21 of us fit comfortably. There were beds/couches for everyone, plenty of room to spread out for activities, lots to do indoors and outside. If you’re considering it, the farm tour is definitely worth it, Brady had so much great information and the kids loved the visit from Cash. The house was very well stocked with everything we could have wanted/needed and so much more. The kids under 10 and the teens/,young adults found plenty to do (foosball, ping pong, games/puzzles, bean bag toss, bikes, balls) and never even missed their screens or tv. This house was impressively clean considering it is a farmhouse on a gravel road. The garage was just as clean and spacious, additional room since the weather wasn’t too cooperative. We would definitely stay here again!

July 27-30, 2023 stay

This place is AMAZING as are the owners! Upon arrival, there was a welcome note and loaf of homemade zucchini bread. Twyla also stopped in to welcome me personally. The cleanliness was impressive as were the many personal touches including a s'more basket, large variety of K-cup for the Keurig coffee maker, soaps/shampoo dispenser in the bathrooms - just to name a few. The decor is SO nice! The themed details are so cool. And the layout of the house was perfect for our group of 17 adults and teens. That bunkroom was perfect for the younger folks who liked to sleep in. And that front porch - so great; we watched beautiful sunsets each evening. The garage was like an extension of the home - so clean, with a sink and extra refrigerator. There were a also a variety of bikes, extra outdoor chairs too. The setting is beautiful and just 5 miles from town. Starbuck has a wonderful beach and the Firehouse brewery was a fun outing. I can't say enough about this VRBO; it checked ALL the boxes for our group, and we've already booked for next year.
