Summer Star Ranch is picturesque, nestled between rolling hills and mountaintops.This remote ranch offers an authentic experience with a variety of activities to explore. Enjoy exploring the landscape horseback riding at sunset or driving an atv on mountainous trails.
This ranch is absolutely beautiful and so easy to get too. The barn they built for weddings is so nice and rustic and beautiful. I might sound repetitive but the ranch, the cabins, the wedding barn and the views are just perfect, beautiful and stunning. The owners of the ranch are also so nice and respond so quickly.
Our stay at Summer Starr Ranch was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were met with amazing hospitality and top-notch service that made us feel completely at home. Matt and Starr are the most incredible people.
Getting married at Summer Star Ranch
Summer Star Ranch comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
