Chase and Meghan Whittaker run The Ranch at Timber Creek in the heart of Idaho, where ranch life is real and everyone is welcome. Their working cattle ranch doubles as a guest camp, giving visitors the chance to slow down, gather, and experience the West as it’s meant to be.

Guests can join in on daily ranch life — from riding horses along Timber Creek to helping with chores — or simply relax and enjoy the mountains, trees, and wide-open skies. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a family reunion, the Whittakers have created a place where people come as guests and leave feeling like family.

Our Reviews

"I came to Timber Creek expecting a break from the noise. What I got was a full reset. The early mornings, the honest work, the horses, the stars at night—it all made me feel grounded again. The team treated me like family from the second I arrived, and I left feeling stronger, clearer, and more connected than I’ve felt in years. This place is something special, and I’ll be back as soon as I can."
