    Archery Class!!

    I wish I could give 10 stars!! Greenhorn Dude Ranch is an outstanding family adventure! The staff members are amazing. Each of our activity guides was an expert in their field - knowledgeable, patient, and skilled at teaching us in our chosen event (fly fishing, skeet shooting, archery, etc.). The facilities are pristine and the food is excellent. The staff genuinely care about their guests and their teammates. Hands down this is one of the best family adventures I've ever had!!

    I was lucky enough to get engaged at the Greenhorn last week. Not a single criticism comes to mind. The location, atmosphere, Airstream lodging, activities, saloon and food were all absolutely perfect. They do not miss a single detail. I not only felt like a guest while here, but we got to spend time with the staff and felt like family. The entire team knew about the surprise proposal and went above and beyond to make it a dream come true for me. We already miss everyone .... and especially Wiley and Irish. Heres to hoping for a Greenhorn wedding in the future;)

    We came for July 4th weekend and had a great family vacation! Everything was wonderful from the help and info planning our trip and every single staff member we interacted with. We had an amazing time horseback riding, skeet shooting, hatchet throwing and we even had the chance to go to a local July 4th rodeo. The wranglers were awesome and a ton of fun. They were so friendly and it was great that many hung out at dinner and the evenings. It's an amazing place where there's really a sense of community including with all the guests. We met so many wonderful families, some of which had been coming for almost 2 decades! There were many activities throughout the day including ping-pong, playing pool or swimming in the pool. Even karoake and line dancing in the evenings. The food was also great with a daily changing menu. We loved our time there, everyone we met was awesome and we really can see why families come back every year and we hope to as well!

    The greenhorn ranch was an interesting getaway to say the least. Where should I begin? Let's start with the room. For my beautiful wife and I we booked a creekside cabin suite. Not much of a suite that's for sure. Greenhorn Ranch website fails to state is that the suites are split and shared with other people. The walls are so thin we could hear the other people using the bathroom & showering and them having intercourse. Let's move on from the beyond terrible "suites" situation. The second day we booked E-bikes with a lady named Nicole. A beautiful blond girl with endless energy who loves being outdoors. Having her as our guide was the best part of our trip! She knew everyone and everything about the local area a true treat indeed! The E-bikes had the absolute worst seats on them and made the experience a lot less enjoyable. My wife booked a horseback ride in the afternoon and since I am a bigger person I could not ride the horses so I did the gold panning also with Nicole. My wife enjoyed her horseback time with sweat pea and I learned a lot about gold panning from Nicole. The afternoon was so much better than the morning E-bikes! That evening they had a paint and sip style event which was fun but for the price of being there one would think the alcohol would be included but it's not. They didn't have my favorite beer which was very disappointing. If you all out there are reading this and wondering what my favorite beer is it's obviously the Broken Skull Ranch 3:16 lager & IPA. The beer promoted by Stone Cold Steve Austin. If you all have not tried it I highly recommend it! Back to the review. I forgot to mention the food. Breakfast is absolutely amazing and very delicious! The waffles are obviously the best part of breakfast! Lunch was served it was ok nothing special and dinner was disastrous to say the least. Let me explain this one. Before you even show up at the ranch they send an email saying what are you allergic too and stuff like that. I made sure to put in capital letters so they would not miss it that I am allergic to all shellfish. So dinner comes around on the second night and what do they serve? That's right shellfish! They also had steak but they put them right next to each other with people using the same utensils to put them on their plates. Since I didn't want to have an allergic reaction I ended up having a cold bowl of cereal for dinner. Very disappointing indeed! That night they also had a fire with s'mores making. That was really enjoyable with the view of the lake it was a great evening indeed. The next day we had breakfast which was incredible once again. Then we packed up said our goodbyes to Nicole and everyone and we left. I am giving them 2 stars because of Nicole. She is awesome and highly recommended by my wife and I if you all go here. If it wasn't for Nicole this place would have been one and your done type of place. If Nicole ever reads this thank you for making everything a lot better!! You truly are awesome and made this experience a lot better that's for sure!

    The lodge main room includes a huge fireplace (that the staff makes nightly), a game room, and ample space to mingle with the other guests.

    Hurry...don't walk, run and book your stay. We are so sad to be leaving this beautiful and welcoming ranch! From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed. The team is amazing! Friendly, warm, and welcoming. Chef Brian and his culinary team whip up delicious and fresh meals daily (breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in your stay. Head wrangler Amelia and her team lead horseback rides through some of the best forest land in California. They but you at ease and you feel like your riding with old friends. I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is! We are definitely returning and staying longer.

    What an ABSOLUTELY wonderful place. Ideally you take "the long way" hwy 70 in during the afternoon for GORGEOUS scenic sun setting views up the canyon, windy but worth it as you go through fun tunnels like you're in Yosemite. Next Pass through the quiet quaint town of Quincy to stock up on any forgotten supplies and boom 10 minutes later you're at the ranch. First; Wonderful staff; nice happy and fun. Next; Clean well equipped facilities with amazing meals and peaceful environments with countless activities like horseback riding, guided electric bicycle tours on the miles of trails around the property, fishing right on the property! HEATED POOL! And much more. I've been here I believe 5 times now and every time it gets better as they're always adding more things to make it sweeter it seems. But This place is A MUST visit if you're a fan of peace, quiet, and nature but prefer the finer sides of life. They Even has a 220 plug right out front for my electric car to charge while I stay. Wifi for some movie downloads. A Stocked! fridge with all alternative variations of milks for oatmeal / coffee - fresh fruits! I could go on and on but I don't want to sound scripted here. But seriously 5 star. Get out and enjoy this place you WILL NOT regret it. Great for the family or romantic getaways.

    Views from the saloon!

    Wow!!!! This place is truly special!!! We held our family company meeting here for 5 nights and Greenhorn knocked of out of the park! The FOOD! Is AMAZING! Every meal! They catered to my picky 6 year old eater too! The staff! Jacob is the best guide on bikes, on trails, on slip'n'slides! You name it! The staff was overly friendly and helpful! They made us all feel at home! There was always something fun to do from ages 6-80!! Next, the views! Gorgeous views! The sounds from the creek that flows through the property lull you to sleep at night. Nicole was an amazing host and beautiful singer! Kaiya and Elizabeth were great with the littles, especially my wild one! During down time we all swam in the pool with views! The pool was always clean and the staff helped us set up a volleyball. It's going to be really hard to leave today! We have made lifelong memories on this trip! I HIGHLY recommend visiting Greenhorn Ranch!

    Is there any issues with rodents in the rooms? I know that's common at the ranches and I'm scared of mice?

    Never saw a rodent or dropping anywhere. But foxes are outside to take down the population.

Slime is currently our daughter's thing so I knew we had to visit on this trip before departing. Located in a shopping center, there were plenty of parking options. It is located next door to the popular coffee house bookstore. When you enter, it can be a bit overwhelming. The interior is spacious and deep. To the left is a window seat next to hanging aprons which begin the detailed step by step process. This process is displayed and explained on the wall by each station (step). To the right (of entering) is the cash register followed by mixing stations on the same counter. The middle of Slime Kitchen has white tables with matching chairs for little ones to sit. A part of the table top, on one side of the table, is removed to place their basket to develop and massage their slime in. The table is revisited after each station to continue to develop the slime and extend the slime making experience. Options to build and develop the slime included slime texture (fluffy, slimy, cloud...), color or colors to make your slime, and scent or scents to incorporate. At this point, our daughter was directed to a mixing bowl to incorporate her slime selection, color (blue) and scent (pop rocks) into one by using a mixing bowl to do so. Our daughter got to personally add the amount of color and scent she desired with direction of Hailey (based on the outcome our daughter desired). From there, our daughter was given a bucket and a part of the table top was removed for her to play in the slime - ultimately to incorporate everything more. Following each time with her slime, she let Hailey know when she ready to move on (if Hailey had not already checked in with her). Following each selection from the next station, she returned to her table to incorporate the added step and play in her slime more. In the end, her slime was placed into a Slime Kitchen plastic container with screw on lid. There was one group of children ahead of us and a child who followed a little while behind us. Staff, there were two young ladies, were great at accommodating each child without periods of delayed absences. In the end, our daughter was extremely happy with the slime she created, with Hailey adding a little extra glitter to make it that much more beautiful and appealing to our daughter. On the wall, there are take and make kits along with premade slime. To choose this option eliminated the point and the experience of visiting Slime Kitchen. The prices are reasonable to build your own. I included our receipt in the photos of this review, I think $25. We would definitely return again if she asked. Our daughter had an exceptional time and experience. Thank Hailey for adding to that experience! She is such a sweetheart, truly

It wasn't busy and the two young girls working greeted us quickly and got us started on some slime making. The experience itself is really cool. It lasts quite awhile and there are tons of steps from texture to aroma to colors. Every step involves some level of decision making so if you have a really little one, like I do, it's definitely best to accompany them through the whole thing. A grade school aged kid could mostly do everything on their own. After choosing some texture, color, smells, and mixing, you can play with your slime for as long as you'd like. Then you can do your mix ins and package it up. The cost is the toughest thing to stomach about this place. It's $25 to make a slime, so for my two kids and taxes, it was nearly $60 to make something that will likely eventually have to be thrown away. The prices on the retail slimes that you could buy and make at home seemed much more reasonable- around $15. I loved this for my kids- but just this once. I think it would have to be a special occasion to come back and do it again. I could see myself picking up a retail slime for a gift. If you don't mind the $25 price tag, this could be a staple experience for you! Still 5 stars in my book.

After the mixer, he got to add more things in his slime and mix it around himself. He had fun making slime. The slime is a little on the pricey side I thought but, my kid had fun and the people there were very helpful.

Its location right by the exterior entrance of the mall makes it super easy to get in and out, which I appreciate with two small kids in tow. My 3-year-old and almost-1-year-old both have a great time here. They love the ball pit, slide, dress-up room, and all the imaginative play areas. It really does offer hours of entertainment. The one thing to note--especially for families with younger kids--is that some of the toy sets in the dress up room come with small pieces that could be choking hazards. The pretend makeup items (lipstick, powder brushes, eyeshadow tools, etc.) also naturally invite kids to put them on/close to their faces, which could carry some concern for germs. There's also a balloon room with fans, which is fun but something to keep an eye on, since popped balloons can be a risk for little ones. All that said, we just stay extra attentive in those areas, and my kids still have an absolute blast. It's a fun, creative, and a great space for local families.
