THIS PLACE IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COST IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY'S HEALTH…read moreAND WELL-BEING. Please read my entire review to see how this place really is. Horseback riding at this stable was the biggest nightmare I have ever experienced The beginning of the ride didn't show how bad the events would turn. For the first 40 minutes of the ride we had a great time until the guide decided to rope off my horse. Her dangerous behavior led to my left knee injury and me almost falling off the horse I rode, who was a 27 year old horse and very well behaved. The horse was very easy to ride and caused no problems to me as a rider. I indicated in a form that that I am an advanced equestrian and I've been around horses my whole life and I'm very comfortable riding horses both in the saddle and all around horses/stables. I got injured in a ride trail because of the guide's lack of imagination. She crushed my knee with her horse's weight twice as she approached me without getting off her horse and her horse walked against my left knee. She did that twice in opposite directions until I screamed from pain and that's when she got off her horse to rope my horse off properly. She took control of my horse with a rope and took the snaffle bit out of horses mouth as exemplified by the attached photo. I told the trail guide that I don't feel safe staying so close to her horse as horses kick and you need to keep your horse at least 4 feet behind another horse. This was also told me before our trail ride at the stable, the prison who gave us our helmets after we paid for the experience told us to stay 4 yards away from each other horses. In her response she told me that she knows better and disregarded my complaint about me feeling not safe after my left knee got crushed by the horse she was riding. The guide has also injured the horse I rode because she run him into a tree cutting severely skin on his head. She led my horse way too close to her horse and there was a tree. Her horse went right and because I couldn't control my horse with no snaffle bit she led my horse left and he hit his head against the tree as he was stuck on that rope that the guide held in her hand. I had no control of the horse I was riding as per attached photo with the snaffle bit taken out by the guide. Her horse went right next to a tree and mine went left. Then my horse jumped and kicked as he was hurt by the guide and I almost fell. If it wasn't for my riding experience I would have been right on the ground trampled by the injured horse. At that point I couldn't believe what kind of irresponsible guide this person was, so I I started recording with my cell phone everything that happened next to avoid another injury after my knee got crushed and the horse I rode got injured by the guide. As we arrived at the stable at the end of the hour trail, I politely reported the incident and my injury to the manager when we came back to the stable and the manager called the police calling me and my wife trespassers (sic!), after we paid $240 for 2 hours of trail horseback riding as we scheduled another hour at 4pm as well. The manager tried to scare us to leave. She called the police to report "trespassing" even though we were guests at the Pocono Manor and paid for resort stay and the horse rides in advance, The manager and the guide completely ruined our experience by acting rude, unprofessionally and with no empathy. She did not apologize or even offer ice for my injured knee. She was trying to intimidate us to leave. When the police arrived the manager lied to them and said that I ran her horse into the tree and in the attached photo you can clearly see that the snaffle bit is out so I had no control of the horse after it got roped off. The guide had full control of the horse I rode. This is the rudest and the least professional horseback riding facility I have seen. I grew up around horses and I've seen many stables around the world as I travel a lot and ride horses often. I've never experienced such terrible service and lack of empathy. With an injured knee and not even an apology or offering me some ice the manager decided to kick us out by calling the police and telling the cops that we are trespassing after I paid $240 for 2 hours of riding on easy trail trail and hundreds of dollars for our stay at Pocono Manor that was supposed to be a safe and pleasant experience for my wife and me. The horseback riding facility at the Pocono Manor Ranch, is a place that's dangerous for children and adults and should be avoided at all cost. Unqualified personnel endangers safety and health of the resort visitors as well as the animal welfare of the horses. I will spare you the photos of horse injuries as they are disturbing and traumatizing. Under no circumstances go there if you care about your family health or well-being. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST.

Luckily the rain time shifted and we arrived 20 minutes before our appointment for 3pm to sign waivers. We took pics with the horses that were there and we had time to pet them. I pet mouse the entire time and when we were assigned horses, my husband said i wanted mouse. I recommend not picking your own horse & just having a horse be assigned to you. The workers know the horses best. Mouse is on the slower side but I still enjoyed my time on him. They know which horse hasn't been out yet, has more energy for the ride, etc. All the horses did a great job and they're friendly. At the end of the ride, mouse turned around to look at me while I was still on him. He's so funny... I guess he wanted to see who kept talking him. On the ride we saw turkeys and deer. It was a nice experience. Would do again.

The produce isn't as fresh as what you'd find in Chinatown or Flushing, I think because the turnover of produce isn't as high here. But they're still good quality so we buy them. Our absolute favorite though is the food court, we really like buying the two dishes + a side (I think $11 of $12) of three dishes + a side. If you come during the day around lunchtime, there are a lot of fresh, delicious options. By dinner time the options aren't as fresh or as many, but they still all taste delicious. It ends up being better than Chinese takeout in our opinion so we make the trek here just to go to the food court. Plenty of spots in the free parking lot out front. Very convenient.

I saw several products that are harder to find here (hot pot broth, pho soup base, etc). We tried some soft bread from the bakery as well as egg tarts in different flavors which were both decent. We tried one of the hot food vendors once and ate there. The stand with the ducks and other meat hanging in the display case. I thought the meat was going to be hot, but it was basically room temp. Not sure if you're supposed to take it home and heat it up from this vendor or if they will warm it up for you on request. We tried the bbq spare ribs and roast pork belly, which had good flavor but would have been better hot. Would try the other vendors.

If you were to choose between Rocking Horse Ranch and Great Wolf Lodge, it's an easy choice. Yes,…read moreRocking Horse Ranch is more expensive but there is an endless amount of activities for the kids to do. We came on the coldest weekend of the year but my kids had a blast skiing, snow tubing, horseback riding, pony rides, arcade, game room, playing laser tag, swimming in the pool, the outdoor hot tub, and the nightly shows. Food is included in the price and it is buffet style for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is not but you are more than welcome to order more and take things to go. There's snacks available between lunch and dinner but there's also hot chocolate/coffee available all day long with some pastries. The only downside were the rooms. They are connected so if you have loud neighbors, you won't be getting good sleep. Overall, my kids loved the place and want to go back soon. I guess we'll have to wait for another Black Friday deal.

We stayed at Rocking Horse Ranch Tuesday through Thursday on a midweek deal and had a really…read moreenjoyable experience. I went with my wife and our two adult children (18 and 24). While they are a bit older than the resort's main target audience, it ended up being a great fit, especially since they had never been horseback riding and hadn't skied before. Everyone had a great time. We stayed in the main building in a room with two queen beds and bunk beds. The room was very clean, and the beds were comfortable with soft mattresses and pillows. Temperature-wise, it was funny, my son and I were warm, while my wife and daughter were cold, so I guess that means the room temperature was just right. One thing to note: the walls are thin. You can definitely hear noise from nearby rooms and above. Since this is a family-focused resort, that's kind of expected. It didn't bother us, but if you're looking for total quiet, this may not be the place. Since it was midweek, there were discounts, and they even offered us on our last night an extra night for and even more discounted rate. We were ready to head home, but I would absolutely consider staying longer next time. The resort is all-inclusive, and the food was solid overall. * Breakfast was your typical buffet--scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, French toast, etc. They will cook eggs to order if you ask. * Lunch was buffet-style as well and changed daily. Not amazing, but it got the job done. * Dinner was my favorite meal and felt a bit higher quality, with multiple courses and limited menu options (which I actually liked). * Dessert was fun, especially the ice cream machine. One thing I noticed is that the food is served at a kid-friendly temperature, which took a little getting used to. I'm guessing they do this so kids don't get burned. The activities were the highlight. Skiing was fantastic because it was almost empty, there were only a few other people on the hill. Since I hadn't skied since the early 90s, it was great to have the space to fall a few times without worrying about others. The staff was extremely helpful and encouraging. The hill is more like a bunny slope, but honestly, it's perfect for beginners. If you spent a few days learning here, you'd feel confident going to a bigger mountain. Horseback riding was also great, and since it was midweek, we could have gone multiple times a day. The indoor/outdoor heated pool was really nice, and there's even a waterslide. A lot of the resort seems better suited for summer, and some things were closed for winter, but we came mainly for skiing, so that didn't bother us. The staff deserves a lot of credit. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, and we never felt rushed. There's a saloon downstairs where they run games at night and offer a free drink of the night. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are always available. One small downside: when the dining areas close at night, soda machines aren't accessible, so you'd need to use vending machines (machines were coin only, so I couldn't use my Apple Pay), which felt a little odd for an all-inclusive resort. But, you can grab drinks to go while the dining room is open. On our last day, they let us do a late checkout since no one was checking into our room. We were able to grab lunch and head out without rushing, which was really appreciated. Definitely a lot more things I can talk about, but these were just the stand out things I remember. Overall: Rocking Horse Ranch is a great choice for families, beginners learning to ski, or anyone looking for a relaxed, all-inclusive getaway--especially midweek when it's quieter. It's not luxury, and it's definitely kid-focused, but it's fun, comfortable, and well-run. I'd absolutely go back.
