Lifelong Memories

EVERYONE BELONGS AT THE FLYING U

We provide an "unplugged" Western getaway for groups of 1 to 100. A dedicated coordinator helps families enjoy activities and three daily farm-fresh meals served in a rustic dining hall, removing the need to cook or clean. The ranch offers experiences for all ages: kids enjoy "free-range" fun like pony rides and games, adults can relax in the Longhorn Saloon or join dockside yoga, and seniors can appreciate the scenery from rocking chairs or a Green Lake boat cruise. At Flying U, every guest is treated like family.
