Living Waters Ranch

Set on 142 acres beside Garden Creek in Challis, Idaho, Living Waters Ranch provides a mountain setting for conferences, retreats, weddings and other group gatherings. Its event spaces suit organisers planning anything from a smaller meeting to a multi-day programme, with facilities for groups of up to 300 guests.

The Celebration Hall is the main space for larger events, including wedding receptions and conferences. It has a commercial kitchen, sound equipment and lighting, with technical support available. Smaller gatherings can use dedicated meeting rooms, while Shiloh Lodge offers space for meetings alongside dining and accommodation for groups. The ranch also hosts family reunions, youth camps, leadership meetings and church groups, and welcomes non-Christian groups seeking a place for a retreat or gathering.

Organisers can arrange accommodation on site for a range of group sizes. Options include chalets, suites, mini lodges, bunkhouses, motel rooms and RV sites. Food service is available for groups of 25 or more, and some self-catering accommodation has its own kitchen. The grounds offer room to spend time outdoors, with sports areas, walking routes, creekside settings and fire pits. Nearby outdoor activities add options for groups looking to build recreation into their stay.

With event space, lodging and group dining in one location, Living Waters Ranch can support organisers planning residential conferences, retreats and celebrations. Its wedding offering includes use of the reception hall and the wider property for photographs, giving couples and event planners a choice of indoor and outdoor settings in a scenic Idaho location.
