The Outback Ranch
We are using Vista with Norton Security that cautions you to maybe block this site - they are very security oriented - this site is fine - if you are nervous feel free to email me at Smilla13@gmal.com
Verizon Cell Phones have terrific reception here -
The other providers are a bit "iffy" unless you drive 1/4 mile from the ranch.
All carriers seem to work very well in Boonville - just not here at the ranch.

Regarding Deposit Refunds:
We are a very small business (only 1 or 2 guests at a time) and we have a very short season because of hunting and our severe winters - we will do our very best to refund your deposit if we can get someone else in for that week that you had reserved.
So, the earlier you are able to inform us, the better the chances are of us trying to fill the week that you no longer can use. Our business and our darlings depend on occupied weeks - a vacant week really hurts us and our brood since there is no income at all and we have lost guests that might have reserved that same week but made other plans since that timeframe was not available.
We are very honest and nice folks - and we will try our very best to fill that week with other guests, but there is no guarantee that we can - you do have our word that we will give it our very best shot.
For your information - our hours are approx 9 am to 5 pm - with a 1.5 hour break for lunch - more if you need it. We are very flexible and nothing is written in stone ! This is your time....
The Victorian
Bed & Breakfast
http://www.lewisfirst.com/victorian/
An 1876 Victorian home is the Bed & Breakfast where most of our guests will be staying at this year. The owner's name is Terri Dutch, the B&B is right on Main Street in Boonville, on the left hand side as you are approaching the main business district.
The building is gray in color.
Your reservations will be made by us for you but here is the phone number if you want to or need to call them: 315-942-3368.
This year - 2009 - we are no longer using our lovely cabin for guest accomodations - simply because we are realizing our own "dream" of living on the ranch ourselves - we've wanted to do this for years and finally just decided to do it.
So, folks' accomodations will now be in our lovely little town - Boonville - in close proximity of our shops and diners and restaurants, etc. - and our guests will have electricity !!! (in our cabin there was none)
There will be no charge, naturally, for this change. We've never charged our guests for accomodations and we certainly don't plan to do so now.
