The GOAT Ranch offers a unique ranch experience by hosting goat yoga sessions with YogiFit Yoga as well as private tours and yoga sessions.

The Lodge was originally the “ranch house” of the man – Tom Mantzel – who began Fossil Rim from square one in 1973. It features five unique guest rooms, each with a different animal theme. There is a full-size kitchen and dining area, a cathedral-style living room, and a massive stone fireplace. A wall of glass wraps around the front of the building, opening onto a wood-and-cobblestone deck that overlooks a wildlife grazing area. Animals like waterbuck, addax, sable, fallow deer, and wild turkeys appear near The Lodge as they migrate across the 420-acre Main Pasture. The panoramic view of the landscape is a sight for sore eyes, as this area is far removed from daily guest traffic. On the second floor, there is a common area to relax. When guests from more than one family stay at The Lodge at the same time, social distancing precautions will be taken. In the morning, a complimentary hot breakfast is provided, and then heading out on a guided tour to learn all about Fossil Rim’s animal conservation programs could be a great call. Admission tickets to drive through in your own vehicle are included and could be used on the day of arrival instead of the morning.
