    If you happen to be in the Tahoe area, I definitely would recommend stopping by for a ride. The owners are very accommodating and my group had a great time. Just make sure to call before

    We literally drove by with no appointment. And as expected since it was a Saturday, the place was booked. Bummed, we braved it out to ask a lady if we can take pics with the horses. She was so kind and gracious and even told us to pet them! She every now and then will have us some pointers about the horses we were petting, though clearly she was busy attending from across the barn. She even directed us to the barn on the other side to see more horses. That alone this place deserves for their customer service!

    The tour guide was amazing, the horses were gentile, scenery was beautiful and a very reasonable price. I would give it 5 stars but my saddle was not tightened down properly and literally slid off the horses back. I'm lucky the horse was chill and they're lucky that I'm chill. The guide seemed horrified that it happened and I genuinely believe it was a freak accident. I work with animals and I understand that stupid things can happen and I'm not upset at my comically slow fall. I do plan on coming back.

    This stable is in a great location, convenient near Truckee, Squaw Valley and Kings Beach. I came ti this stable many times as a child and now I got to bring my little one to try horse back riding. This is a family friendly stable, these horse do know the way but its a good thing when your rug rat has no clue on how to ride. The guide was very sweet, gave my Lilyzilla good instructions. The child stated to me she was uncomfortable in the beginning but after she grasped onto what the guide was telling her she relaxed and was able to enjoy. For a reference to parents, my kiddo is 10yrs old and her listening abilities are on par with talking to a wall. We only did the Hour ride since I wasn't sure how my kiddo would do. It was $45 per person, CASH or personal check only. We did go during the time of social distancing and they do abide! You wear your mask until you cross the street and at that point the horses naturally keep us all 6ft apart. Great family friendly place :) The kiddo already wants to return but with a longer ride time.

    Highly recommend! I lived in Tahoe city and still go up often and was looking to do something I haven't done before and I'm so happy I did. Two friends and I did the one hour beginner ride and it completely exceeded my expectations. We had Anya as our guide and she was awesome. She obviously knew what she was doing and was patient with us being pretty rusty on horses. She was also really knowledgeable about the horses and their personalities. The terrain was beautiful (between Squaw and alpine). Anya took photos for us and gave us a great tour. It was also a great bang for your buck. Most importantly, I was very impressed with how well the animals were cared for. It's very clear that the people who work at alpine stables love these horses. Thank you for a great tour and I can't wait to come back!

    My 8 yo daughter and I joined an hour ride trail ride yesterday. We appreciated the kindness of all the staff and the guide. (We had a bad experience at Zephyr Cove stables by comparison. So we really appreciate riding with a company that are nice and helpful.) Had a great time talking with our guide Rain on our ride. Horses are beautiful and well cared for.

    They're closed - would be good to know before telling your kid they're going for a long ride.

I surprised him with a hour long trail ride (something he's never gotten to do in Tahoe). We had a 12 ride & arrived about 15 min before, the woman in the office was so kind & welcoming. I believe her name is Louise (hope i got that right), our trail guide shared that her and her husband started Zephyr Cove Stables 40 years ago and her & her sons still run the operation. I thought that was so cool. We were promptly brought our horses to ride, i got Rocky & my husband rode Clyde :) Laya (hope I'm spelling that right) was our guide and she was so awesome, she was attentive to us and the other couple riding. Pointed out plants and shared information about their medicinal benefits. I love having good conversations with strangers, she really was a delight. The ride itself was seriously perfect. All of the horses were calm and well trained. The view throughout the whole ride was captivating. The hour passed so fast, when the ride was done the same man that made sure i mounted rocky safely was there to help me off. I can't say enough great things about Zephyr Cove Stables. It's a must experience while in Tahoe!

It was so fun, calm and full of laughs the whole time. I rode big red and he was definitely a gentle giant! They provide helmets for you or your little ones up front by the check in. Definitely keep in mind that you are riding at your own risk. Don't forget to tip your guide at the end of the tour :-)

The horses were all very calm, well-cared-for, and matched perfectly to each rider's comfort level and somehow personalities too!!! The trail itself was absolutely stunning, winding through peaceful forests with breathtaking views of the mountains. Jake, our guide was super friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the group engaged with fun facts and stories about the area. He also answered all of our questions about the horses, and the trail more broadly. This was a perfect family activity -- relaxing, scenic, and full of natural beauty. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tahoe, whether you're a first-timer or an experienced rider!

Had 20 min on hands to hang out with the horses after paying and completing the paperwork. Tips: they do have a military discount so just ask. $5 off for service person. It's been over 20 years since I rode but the horse were well trained. The trail was nice but definitely dusty so make sure you wear sun glasses and get a bandana. They recommended it but I didn't think it was that bad. It was since I was the last one. My horse Mister was slow and occasionally deviant - likes to walk off the path and required guiding back onto path. But overall he was good. We all had lots of fun minus the dust. If you haven't ridden, I would suggest doing the 1 hr ride first because I was a little sore getting off. But next time I will do the 2 hrs ride to go to the meadows and fallen leaf lake.
