Harriman State Park Rental Facilities

The Railroad Ranch was the full-time or part-time home of Roland and Gladys Harriman, ranch managers, cattle foremen and cowboys. Now it can be your part-time home, too. Follow the links below for more details on the various lodging opportunities in Harriman State Park. Pets are not allowed on park trails or in any of the buildings or yurts, due to the ranch being on the list of National Historic Places as well as a wildlife refuge.
