The Good Enough Ranch
Good Enough Ranch - El Reno, Oklahoma
Good Enough Ranch is owned and operated by Doug Schwarz, a beloved member of our BFRB community and a chief member of our retreat planning committee. The mission statement of Good Enough Ranch is as follows:
"At Good Enough Ranch our mission is to create a community gathering place where guests can create and appreciate art. We believe that a quiet place to spend time with friendly animals is good enough for everyone."
All meals are also included with your purchase of a ticket to the retreat. This includes dinner the night of your arrival, breakfast, lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday, as well as breakfast on Sunday. Some meals (mainly dinners) will be catered and some will be made on site at the farm. Please indicate your dietary preference when you complete your registration so we can be sure to accommodate you.

Camping Here
If you decide to camp here at the Good Enough Ranch (yay!), you'll have some options when it comes to where you sleep.
You can place your tent anywhere on the property you'd like. There will be a communal bathroom/shower set up.
No tent? No problem! You can bring an air mattress/sleeping pad to the studio. Doug is setting this studio up to sleep in if you'd prefer to sleep indoors with some other retreatants. Doug is working hard to make sure it'll be ready for you when you arrive, as the property was recently under construction.
Attached to the studio is a full bathroom for your use. Because this is such a new space, this is the only photo we have for now. However, it will be entirely ready for you! Whether or not you camp in the studio, you will also have access to this large restroom.
Camping not for you? That's okay! There are many hotels nearby to choose from.
The hotel we would recommend (best rating and convenient location) is the Fairfield Inn & Suites located at 1501 Domino Drive in El Reno, OK (only 2.9 miles from the retreat site). The nightly rate there is approximately $104.

Another option is the Quality Inn, located at 1707 SW 27th Street in El Reno, OK, 73036 (2.5 miles from the retreat site), which appears to be under $100 per night. More information can be found at https://www.choicehotels.com/oklahoma/el-reno/quality-inn-hotels/ok099?mc=llgoxxpx.
