About Us
Reed Ranch was the answer to Senator James A. and Nell Reed's hectic and busy lives in Kansas City. An ideal serene escape from city life to recharge with their family and friends in cozy, clean lake-side cabins located in a beautiful, peaceful, wooded wilderness in the fresh Michigan countryside. The Ranch has been family-owned for more than 85 years and now sees fourth-generation Reeds.
The Reed Ranch is ready to fulfill your 4-season outdoor vacation getaway needs in northeast Michigan's beautiful north woods. An exclusive family recreation spot, which boasts extensive, secluded, natural habitat. Plenty of peace and quiet, privacy, and modern conveniences for maximum rest and relaxation. Bordering on the Huron National Forest and short drive away from the AuSable River with spectacular trout and salmon fishing, the Reed Ranch is located only 3-4 hours from Detroit and Grand Rapids, and under an hour to the Lake Huron shoreline.
Lodge rentals are week-long, an excellent deal, and include clean, spring-fed private lakes with soft, sandy beaches for swimming, sunbathing and picnics. Enjoy sailing, canoeing, kayaking, fly-fishing, and sport-fishing
Spring through Fall, or ice fishing, skating, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in Winter.
Explore over 60 miles of trails for hiking, nature walks, mountain biking, or 4-wheel trail riding. There are ranges for archery, marksmanship, and trap, as well as our seasonal hunting programs. Other activities you may wish to indulge are a wildlife photo safari, nature photography, star gazing, or simply watching the sunrises or sunsets from your private lake-view cabin. At the end of the day, gather around the campfire with your friends and family to share your adventures and stories, or curl up in front of a crackling fire in the living room hearth with a good book in your robe and fuzzy slippers.
No matter how active or sedate your idea of a perfect vacation might be, Reed Ranch is a place you and your family will enjoy and want to return to year after year, just as generations of guests have done for decades, making this their home away from home.
Resident Manager
Torrey Neff has been maintaining the buildings and trails since 2018, and doing a bang-up job of it! He and our previous caretakers Nick and Terry did a great job of catching up on deferred maintenance over the past few years, and he's got an aggressive agenda to continue fixing and improving things going forward.
He's here to help make sure you have a great vacation. We hope you have the time to say hello and get to know Torrey the next time you visit.
Reservations & Customer Service
Carla Cook has been "the voice" of Reed Ranch to our guests for many years, preparing mailings, handling reservations, fielding questions, and providing outstanding customer service.
Hunting Coordination
Tom Proctor, and his father before him, have encouraged responsible hunting at Reed Ranch by coordinating hunting groups, active participation in our Quality Deer Management program, and introducing wonderful individuals to our unique property and the great camaraderie between our long-time returning hunters.
