We are located on a scenic highway that will lead you directly to the Tail.

Lives in Walcott, Iowa
We bought our first Polaris RZR in 2014 and made our first riding trip to Brimstone in Huntsville, TN that same year. On that first trip we got lost and ended up on Ridge Road. It was love at first sight. In 2018 for our 25th anniversary we bought property on that same road. Our cabin construction was completed in 2019. Our dream come true. As hosts we hope you fall in love with the area just like we did.
