Our lodging options have been busy this summer. It is very fulfilling when guests notice the extra efforts to provide an exceptional experience and lately our guests have been great at sharing their appreciation. With offerings like saunas, a hot tub, an outdoor soaking tub, and other amenities a stay at one of our locations is one to remember.
To find your opportunity to get away from the chaos and anxiety check out our different lodging offerings below:

A last minute cancellation has opened up the Mighty Pine Cabin, this graduation weekend! Feel free to private message us for a special rate to enjoy what several guests describe as “the perfect getaway in the Driftless”!

The greatest review comment we receive from our lodging guests is when they enjoy the events of the Greater Richland Area!

04/24/2024

Our lodging guests regularly comment on the enjoyable sightings of ducks, geese, deer, and other wildlife at our cabins. As an additional benefit we now apparently have a family of cranes who have moved in to our Mighty Pine Cabin. We aren’t sure if they plan to stay inside with our guests or just hang out in the yard. To reserve your stay with the Bob Crane family (we loved Hogans Hero’s) check out this link: airbnb.com/h/themightpine

If you are visiting the Greater Richland Area this weekend and looking for an accurate snowmobile trail map you can find one at the mailbox at the Visitors Center in Richland Center.

01/19/2024

We are a snowmobiling family and host guests who bring their sleds along sometimes. We totally agree with the sentiments shared by Greater Richland Tourism in support of trail access and a safe weekend!

Welcome snowmobilers to the Greater Richland Area! We know you will enjoy our groomed and ready snowmobile trails along with the exceptional hospitality of our tourism-related businesses.
We ask that you join in with us in partnership in providing a safe and enjoyable experience.
A couple of simple rules and good etiquette:
1. Stay on the trails. Please.
2. Drive sober.
3. Ride at a safe speed
4. Make sure your snowmobile complies with all regulations, including noise limits.
Enjoy your trip to the Greater Richland Area and snowmobile responsibly.

Update: The Mighty Pine Cabin has been rented for the weekend. However another of our properties is available, The Wheat Hollow Rustic Retreat. You can see that information here: airbnb.com/h/wheathollowrusticretreat

The Richland County Snowmobile trails are in the best shape they have been in years. Our Mighty Pine Cabin has availability for rental this weekend and there is private trail access to the Richland County trail system. This weekend will be the best to plan a snowmobile trip to the Greater Richland Area as warmer weather is in the future. Check the link below for lodging info.

We have a cancellation for this weekend and if you have been looking for an opportunity to stay in a tiny home this is your chance. With hot water heated floors and recent construction, the Walnut Cabin is the perfect place to hunker down with your favorite person, a bottle of wine, your favorite movies and enjoy a snow storm. Additionally with the Walnut Cabin use of the sauna and snowshoes is included with the stay.

01/10/2024

As a free add-on we offer snowshoes to all guests who stay in our lodging, instruction to beginners, and help with routes and locations guests can enjoy our beautiful scenic views.

The Greater Richland Area received a nice coating of snow anywhere between 6-10” depending on who you talk to. Regardless that means the scenic views are over the top, snowshoe season has begun, and snowmobile trails will be opening soon. Now is a great time to check out one of our unique lodging options and enjoy our outdoor spaces!

Our winter guests regularly mention our sauna as one of the highlights of their stay. You can enjoy this feature as well with a midwinter stay at either the Mighty Pine or Walnut Cabins. Greater Richland Tourism recently shared this video with our Walnut and Pine Cabins prominently featured. Check out availabilities here: airbnb.com/h/thewalnut-ridge-and-valley-hospitality

Hello Center Cinema Fans,

We've received a tremendous amount of interest on social media about this event. To ensure we can accommodate everyone, please check out the Eventbrite link below to secure your seat!

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/759898846907?aff=oddtdtcreator

Please Read!

Marty and Teri Richards at Ridge and Valley Hospitality believe that traditions are very important for staying close with family and the community. For over 30 years, their close family has watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles every night before Thanksgiving. Now that their daughters and grandsons are strung from Washington DC to Spokane, Washington, it is impossible for them to all get together each Thanksgiving. Therefore, Ridge and Valley Hospitality invites their guests, community, and friends to join them in watching this holiday classic on them, here at Center Cinema!

This showing will be on November 22nd at 7pm!

See you there!

Many of our guests enjoy staying with us and visiting the House on the Rock during their stay. For an extra special treat visit during December and you will experience Christmas at The House on the Rock!

Christmas at The House on the Rock begins this Thursday, November 16, 2023! For more information visit our website at https://www.thehouseontherock.com/exhibits/christmas/

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is part of our family’s history from just watching the movie over a couple hundred times, to our travel experiences which resembled this movie greatly (we once took flights from Madison to Minneapolis to Orange Co, a van ride to LAX and then a flight to San Diego to watch a Packer game.)
We hope you can join us at Center Cinema on Wednesday, November 22 at 7:00 for a free show of P,T, & A on us.

We had a recent trip to Robin and Chad’s Goat Dairy as well as a stop at Carr Valley Cheese! Chad put everyone to work and we aren’t sure who enjoyed the trip more, the kid goats or the boys?

On a recent tour to Carr Valley Cheese and Chad and Robin’s Goat Dairy we put the crew to work. And we aren’t sure who enjoyed the visit more, the kid goats or the boys? For more info on how to book a tour just email us at: [email protected]

We kicked off the 2023 Farm Tour season yesterday with guests Bruce and April. The weather was fantastic, Robin and Chad’s goats were extremely cooperative, the sheep at the Weston Sheep Project were happy to see us and the cheese at Carr Valley Cheese was award-winning as always!

We recently had a sneak-peak video made for our Scandi-cabins to use on our short-term rental listings. Produced by Tiffany Lemke, we love the drone shots that do a great job of capturing the overall vibe of the property. You can see those lodging options here: https://www.airbnb.com/h/themightpine And https://www.airbnb.com/h/thewalnut-ridge-and-valley-hospitality

We went out to the UW-Richland Smart Farm on Dayton Ridge today and started set-up for next Friday's Snowshoe event. We hope to see you! The snow conditions and trails were absolutely perfect today! You can reserve your Twilight Trail passes with us by going to our TicketSpice event. We also made a change-we now have a lowered price for those bringing their own snowshoes. It looks like this event is definitely a GO! The snow is perfect and it shouldn't melt between now and then. Come join us! https://ridgeandvalleyhospitalityllc.ticketspice.com/twilight-snowshoeing-at-the-smart-farm

We took a couple of our lodging guests, Noah and Kira, to experience the madness that is “kidding season” at our tour partner’s, Chad and Robin’s farm. Hands on feeding the kids and milking the goats was on the schedule, the hardest part? Keeping track of which of the 35 kids had been fed and who hadn’t. Thank you Robin and Chad!

Snow makes us almost as excited as it does our Bailey. Snowshoe experiences are being scheduled right now and we will be announcing those here in the near future as we get the required snow.

I am wanting to "trial" a new tour offering this afternoon. The weather is fabulous and I love time in the forest! We have been developing a new "Forest Immersion" experience and will eventually offer them regularly with our other experiences but first, we need to work thru the process and get photos to build these experiences on Airbnb Experiences. Here is what I am up to this afternoon-come to our short-term rental property at 3PM, 24115 on State Hwy 58 and I will give you a UTV ride to our secret forest destination, about a 20" ride. I will lead you on the "Forest Immersion" experience for about 2 hours and then come back, likely around 3 hours total. During our forest immersion experience, you will be guided on our quest to practice the Japanese tradition of "Shinrin-yoku," also known by some as forest bathing. You will find our immersion experience to be a guided yet casual encounter where we hike off into the woods and leave behind our cares. We delve into the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest and allow it to speak to our spirits. During your two hours, we begin with a time of intention and breathing and then warm up the body with a light hike. As we make our way deeper into the forest, we engage our senses and allow nature to minister to our souls. We engage in simple meditation exercises to get out of our heads and we spend time expressing ourselves with creative expressions. We will often walk in silence and seek to walk in "forest time." We long to hear what the forest wants us to hear and we slow down enough to be observant. Toward the end, we take time to "sit spot" and allow the woods to do a slow reveal. A slow, patient sit is rewarded with new perceptions. We finish our practice with a tea ceremony as we transition out of the forest and head back into our normal life. Our goal is to show you how you can continue to carry on this tradition in any forest. We provide you with gentle guidance, an engaging experience, and a short art proj

Such a great day to drive the UTV up to Apple Ridge and visit Oakwood Fruit Farm on their customer appreciation days! Color is just starting in the Driftless!
