Ranch History The property that is now Westerbeke Ranch was purchased by Richard and Muriel Van Hoosear as a vacation retreat for themselves and their three daughters. The buildings and grounds developed as their family grew. Richard and Muriel loved to travel and on each trip to Mexico or Spain they would return with new architectural ideas and decorations. The ambience and family feeling for which Westerbeke Ranch is known was created as a labor of love by these two special people. Serving as a summer paradise for their grandchildren, the Ranch holds many memories for all the family members.

In the late 1960’s, under the expanded vision of Patty and Don Westerbeke, the Ranch was transformed into the conference center it is today. Still a home, three generations now, as well as a business, Westerbeke Ranch embodies for many of its guests a spirit of growth, tradition, and hospitality that is truly unique.
