We booked a two-hour trail ride at the beginning of our trip and had such an amazing experience…read morethat we ended up booking a second ride before our vacation was over! I'm an experienced rider and my husband is a beginner, and our guide, Dave, did a fantastic job matching us with horses (and a mule!) that fit our individual experience levels. He also tailored the trail and ride to our abilities, which made the experience fun and memorable for both of us. For our second ride, it had been raining quite a bit, so Dave took us on a one-hour route where the trails were dry enough and safe for the horses. We really appreciated that their safety and well-being came first, and we still had an amazing time. Both rides were such a highlight of our trip. Thank you, Dave, for being such a great guide and for making us feel so welcome in Blue Ridge! We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in the area

We came yesterday and I genuinely can't stop thinking about how special it was…read more I called last minute in the afternoon after my little one woke up from his nap, not really expecting much -- but they fit us in that same day. From the moment we arrived, Ray made us feel so welcome. He had the horse ready for us, walked us through everything, and was so patient and attentive making sure my little one felt safe and comfortable the whole ride. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does. What we didn't expect was everything that came after. We got to explore the petting zoo, meet the farm animals, and then a staff member came over and introduced us to a baby goat that was only a few days old, my little one's face was absolutely priceless. And then the moment that made this visit truly unforgettable, while my son was laughing away on the horse shaped tire swing, I glanced over and noticed a wobbly little goat behind us. Turns out we were witnessing a mama goat giving birth right there in front of us. Completely unplanned, totally magical. My little one got a nature lesson he'll probably never forget. This place has the most wonderful energy and the staff clearly care deeply about both the animals and their guests. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

I felt safe at all times with our raft guide Justin and we had a blast. There was a break where we could hop out and swim around in a calm side area of the river, perfect for these hot days. Back at the outpost after our adventure we opted to get all of our boats photos and I'm so glad we did, the quality is great and the experience worth remembering. I was so pleased I couldn't help getting a shirt for myself and a hat for the hubby. I really like the retro vibe of some of their merchandise. Much fun had by all!

My husband, my son and I took the 2 hour Valley River Ride. My son and I have never been on a horse before and Jess made me feel so comfortable riding with her instructions and passion that I didn't feel nervous at all. It seemed like the horses were perfectly matched with each of our personalities as well. The prices are fair, the horses are well taken care of and trained, the staff are awesome and it was just an all around great experience. It was a beautiful ride and if we are in the area again I will definitely use Cowgirl Up Stables again.

I would have loved to have been able to go - the trail photos look fun but unfortunately (more…read morefortunately tbh) my friend found out she was pregnant 5 days before our booking and realized it's not safe for her to go at this point in her early pregnancy. I called the phone number directly listed with the business 5 days before, left a voicemail and also messaged the auto-response that prompts you to text should you need anything. No one got back to me for five full days, until the morning of my booking. Magan the owner emailed me saying I didn't follow instructions, and took effectively no ownership of ignoring my voicemail for five days. I understand I didn't follow an incredibly narrow policy of 'emailing the confirmation email to cancel' and honestly would have been fine paying some cancelation fee as ultimately I did miss the unbelievably specific instruction in the email... What makes me genuinely upset, and even frustrated, was the level of professionalism and communication I was met with. Magan dodged any responsibility to overtly neglecting the phone number that she listed with her business, and said I ignored instructions, meanwhile ignoring all my outreach well in advance. If you don't answer your phone or check your voicemails, you shouldn't have a phone number listed with your business. Furthermore, she then never told me she still processed the charge - just that I "didn't follow instructions" and went ahead and charged my card without informing me No response, no respect, no professionalism whatsoever. My Airbnb recommended this place and after what I experienced on the admin side alone, I've let them know they should change their guidebook. I'm genuinely sad - it looked like it would have been fun. I have total respect for people's time and effort (hence why I called five days prior right when I found out about my friend) and would have been fine paying a portion of the fee had the interaction felt at all like there was respect or professionalism.

We had heard about this place as a good alternative to Helen tubing and will be going here from now…read moreon. There are 2 locations and the website said that the tube rentals are at the pizza location so we went there first, paid in cash (for the discount) and got on the bus within 15 minutes. It took us to the other location where you launch for the "adventure" ride. We could have driven straight there and still rented tubes there. The pizza location is where the "lazy river" experience launches. The bus ride was only 5 minutes and once there, we grabbed our tubes and headed down the stairs. Some tubes have the middle open and others have it closed. I went with a closed one and it had a back as well. It was quite comfortable as the first hour is really slow. You then go through a few rapids and the river actually splits and comes back together. The end was the best part as there is a decent drop and whirlpool. My daughter flipped out of her tube, but was fine and had a blast. We got there around 2pm and were back to our car by 6pm.

The tubes held up (even when we got caught up on rocks) and we felt safe the whole time. We saw deer, a turtle, and a snake on our float too. 100% worth the cost for the fun memories.

Everything from start to finish was top notch as with previous visits. We were lucky enough to get Stan as our guide, and he was incredible. Entertaining, very informative, and knew the river like the back of his hand. However, when we got home to purchase some of the pictures, we saw that a) there weren't that many of them b) there were 13 pictures of our assistant guide in the separate single raft! C)Two pictures were just of water. Not very many action shots as I saw of the other groups that day. Pretty disappointing as we really have no decent pictures for souvenirs. Stan was great, but I'm not sure if we would return. Still up in the air for next year.
