Big Blue Ranch & Lodge offers a wonderful retreat for hunters, fishermen, hikers, bird watchers and those seeking pure relaxation. The beautiful cedar log lodge overlooks a scenic 20-acre, spring fed fishing lake on a working Nebraska cattle ranch, and is nestled in the tall grass prairie hills and woodlands of Pawnee County, in SE Nebraska.

Our Nebraska guest ranch ecosystem provides a home to many native Nebraska species, such as whitetail deer, turkey, prairie chicken and other abundant wildlife. At the end of the day, guests can enjoy the outdoors on large covered porches or sit by stone fireplaces to watch a spectacular sunset unfold.

This Nebraska lodge can accommodate up to twelve guests in two suites. For family reunions or larger groups, the two great rooms can be joined by opening large double doors. Big Blue Ranch & Lodge offers the native sounds of nature, including Nebraska song birds, Nebraska waterfowl, great horned owls, bullfrogs and coyotes.

Be amazed by the clear view of the great Milky Way at night, fresh air, and a chance to relax in this secluded country destination. From a row boat, canoe, or a hike around the lake, guests can enjoy all that nature has to offer. Outfitting services and ranch adventures are available to enhance your experience.
