The Librarian’s Preface

The story of Little Pipes Ranch began in 2020 and as many great stories do, started after one too many glasses of wine with my two best friends. As we watched the waves roll in and shared our dreams, an idea took root—what if there was a place designed to foster deep connections between friends and family, where solitude and adventure encouraged reflection and personal growth, and where every element aligned with a commitment to conscious, holistic travel? A place where narratives could unfold, shaped by the people who step into them.

Five years later, this labor of love finally came to life. Each of the characters of Little Pipes Ranch—The Alchemist, The Outlaw, and The Alcyone—are loosely inspired by the incredible women who were on that trip with me, along with the many amazing people who have influenced my life. I am forever thankful for their inspiration and the gift of their unwavering support throughout this journey. Their unique personalities—their universal desires for adventure, mindfulness, and love—became the blueprint for the immersive world of Little Pipes Ranch. This is a space shaped by friendship, creativity, and the belief that the best journeys are the ones we choose to embrace together.

I wholeheartedly thank you for each time you choose to stay with us. My hope is that you create memories here that will last a lifetime and always remember—you are the author of your own life. So make it the most beautiful story ever written.

Sincerely,

Kylie McCarthy 

Head Librarian, Little Pipes Ranch
