MEET THE FOUNDER

Hey, I'm Ryan!

From a young age, I knew deer hunting was my true passion, and deer camp quickly became my favorite time of year. The tradition of hunting with my dad, uncles, and friends—sharing stories and creating memories—was something I always eagerly anticipated.

However, as time passed and we all grew older, those trips became less frequent, and the spirit of deer camp slowly faded away. That's when my father and I decided to create Crooked Tine Ranch—a place to bring back the classic deer camp experience. It’s a spot where we can make new memories, welcome new friends, and share stories of successful harvests together.

Our Lodge

The lodge is a cozy, deer camp-themed home with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, offering a comfortable atmosphere. It provides all the basic amenities to enhance your deer camp experience while ensuring you have everything needed for a great stay. After the hunt, unwind around the inviting fire pit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Grand Rapids Airport is just an hour away, and we can arrange pick-up and drop-off for your convenience.
