In northwestern Nebraska, near Crawford, sits the Oglala National Grassland. The huge 94,520-acre area is a perfect example of Nebraska's breathtaking untamed beauty.

Tucked away in the Oglala National Grassland is Our Heritage Guest Ranch, a historic ranch that was homesteaded way back in 1887.

This is the perfect place to stay if you're looking for a true Western experience. You can choose to stay in one of the two lofts - each with its own private bathroom - or in the lovely little cabin.

The lofts each have a mini-fridge and microwave, and the cabin has a full kitchen.

In any of the accommodations, you can choose to rent just one bedroom or the entire building, so you can tailor your stay to your party's needs.

No matter which part of the ranch you stay in, the handmade furniture and custom artwork will make you feel right at home.

Although the accommodations are cozy and comfy, they may be the least memorable part of your stay - but only because the rest of the experience is so utterly enchanting.

This working ranch is the perfect place to live out your cowboy dreams. You can ride along with the owners on their daily ranch chores and enjoy the restorative effects of a hard day's work.

The ranch offers a variety of adventures, activities, and retreats that showcase the awesome natural beauty of northwestern Nebraska. You can enjoy train watching, stargazing, trail rides, art retreats, and holistic retreats available for small or large groups.

Some of the most unique adventures are the Lakota and pioneer journeys. On these four- to five-day trips, you'll learn how pioneers and the Lakota people each interacted with this special land. If you choose the Lakota journey, you'll stay in teepees and have the opportunity to participate in a sweat lodge ceremony.

The fossil hunting expeditions are another highlight of this B&B's offerings. This area of Nebraska is exceptionally rich in ancient fossils, and you can be an amateur paleontologist on this five-day dig. And best of all, you get to keep what you find!

You don't have to limit yourselves to the activities offered on and by the ranch, however. You'll be close to some of western Nebraska's most enchanting attractions, including Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, Toadstool Geologic Park, Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, Fort Robinson State Park, Chadron State Park, and more.

This historic ranch is definitely something special, and it's open year-round. Next time you're looking for a western Nebraska retreat, make this unique B&B your top choice. Learn more, including the ranch's interesting history, on its website.
