Dream River Ranch
Oasis, Idaho,
United States
View of the Ranch with our Summer Camp Tipis
 Dream River Ranch is an intentional community centered on a quality horse facility. We have created a society based on consideration for others where diversity and acceptance of others is a priority. This is a place where learning and creativity are encouraged; where we are committed to conflict resolution through consensus; and where we are dedicated to being good stewards of our environment.
