Leave your cares at the gate as you explore this peaceful retreat where natural wonders and comfort combine for a one-of-a-kind experience. Crown Ridge is the place you've been looking for- a place of inspiration, relaxation and reflection.
Crown Ridge was founded in 2004 by Joe Scott Sr. The 55-acre estate features an elegant restaurant, private banquet facility, comfortable lodging, and tiger sanctuary.
Loss at Sanctuary
It is with great sorrow and sadness that we announce the recent passing of Mohan, our 20 year old white Bengal tiger at Crown Ridge Tiger Sanctuary due to kidney failure and severe arthritis. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, especially the staff at CRTS. He touched our hearts with his unique personality, his unforgettable old man groans, and who could forget his endearing love of chicken. Although white tigers, like Mohan, are extremely beautiful animals, all suffer from a wide variety of birth defects due to inbreeding. Mohan was no exception with his crossed eyes, but that made him even more special to us. While we take solace in knowing that we have provided the best care possible to Mohan, it is never easy when we must say good bye to one of our dear friends. We would like to thank you for making it possible for us to rescue these endangered animals and provide them with the best time of their lives.
Meat Donations
We need your help. Our tigers and lioness eat large amounts of meat daily, and we rely on meat donations to feed them throughout the year. Whether you are cleaning out your freezer or own a business that has uneaten and uncooked meat you don’t need, please donate your meat to us instead of throwing it away. We accept meat and/or bones. It has to be raw and unseasoned. Some acceptable meat varieties include; chicken, beef, pork, fish, bison, deer, elk and turkey. It CAN NOT be rotten but freezer burnt is fine. Food donations are tax deductible. Crown Ridge is willing to pick up your donations or you can drop them off at the Tiger Sanctuary, Monday - Sunday 8AM-4PM. Please call ahead.
