Our Story
About the Ranch
A working ranch on Puget Island, in the Columbia River — where the land has been tended for generations and the river sets the pace.
About Columbia River Ranch
Puget Island, on the Columbia River.
Nestled along the beautiful Columbia River on Puget Island in Cathlamet, Washington, Columbia River Ranch is a family-owned, working cattle ranch rooted in a love for the land, a respect for the ranching way of life, and an appreciation for the simple things that matter most. With wide-open pastures, grazing cattle, and sweeping river views, our ranch is a special place where the beauty and traditions of the Pacific Northwest come together.
While ranching is at the heart of who we are, we're proud to share this special place with others. Our renovated 1920s barn house, peaceful riverfront setting, and inviting outdoor spaces create a unique backdrop for family gatherings, retreats, celebrations, and getaways. Whether you're exploring the river, enjoying a quiet morning on the deck, or gathering around the fire beneath the stars, there's something special about slowing down and settling into life at the ranch.
At Columbia River Ranch, we believe the best memories are made when people come together, surrounded by nature and away from the busyness of everyday life. We're honored to share a little piece of our world with our guests and hope every visit leaves you feeling refreshed, connected, and already looking forward to coming back.

What Our Guests Say
Real experiences from the families, couples, and groups who've gathered here.
We held our 29-year family reunion here and it was absolutely perfect. The setting along the river is breathtaking, the owners are warm and welcoming, and the ranch has everything you need for a large group. We'll be back.
