Anvil Vineyard and Ranch

History

The houses were built by Theron Hedgepeth, a wealthy business man who invented and sold tools to Sears & Roebuck in Chicago. He and his wife retired to this ranch. They lived here alone with their live-in Maid and Caretaker/Stableman. They moved from the ranch in the mid 1940's and the guest houses remained empty for decades. In 2008 the houses were renovated and we officially re-opened as a vacation rental. We have had such an amazing response with reservations - it is the perfect wedding location for many. Families of both the Bride and Groom can get to know each other over several days rather than during just an afternoon at a hotel in town.

Specialties

Our comfortable guest houses, built in 1938, are situated atop a mountainous ridge overlooking this 13,000 acres ranch. We can accommodate your group of 38 guests or less for a family/friend getaway. We also specialize in weddings... offering a majestic backdrop for your ceremony and reception. Given the scope of our vast property, feel free to enjoy your celebration long into the night - unlike nearly all other venues. Please join us with
