I had a fantastic time at the ranch and can't wait to go back. It was such a lovely way to see autumn in the Adirondacks. I had a gorgeous horse named Biscuit that took me to the top of mountain where we enjoyed the views. It was such a nice day also. Just a perfect perfect day. Thank you to Pam also how was an excellent tour guide and photographer read more

I rode the 1-hour trail ride with 2 adult friends. We were intermediate to advanced at riding. Our guide, Savannah, was awesome. The weather and forest were beautiful, making for a pleasant ride. We would have liked to trot a bit since we were all able riders. The slow walk was very nice, but it would have been fun to pick up the speed for a portion of the riding adventure. Savannah had some interesting things to share about the area, but we couldn't really hear her since she was facing forward and didn't turn to us. The photos on the site show beautiful views. Our trail was entirely in the woods. I now know that the views are only visible on the dinner ride. The horses, equipment, and staff were all great, and we also got to see turkeys and deer. It was a relaxing and enjoyable ride. read more

We had an amazing time!! Our guides were tremendous and their trail ride is absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend, it's not to be missed. read more

This ranch is top notch! My bf and I did the breakfast trail this past Tuesday and it was truly amazing! The horses were so gentle and well trained. The trail, was so nice and peaceful and when we arrived at the breakfast site, it was so beautiful. We sat on a bridge that was over a creek. It was so intimate and the food was delicious. It was just perfect and the staff were all amazing!!! I can't wait to go back next time, to do the 3 hr dinner trail!! Thank you again, for such an amazing experience!!!! read more

My son enjoyed his ride a lot. We were fortunate enough that he was the only rider in the session. He has high function autism and staff was kind understanding and supportive. The next time we visit Lake George area we would go back. It was also easy to find read more

Grace and Savannah were so kind, friendly, and very professional! The ride was amazing and we had a great time and we will be coming back again! read more

Came here for my birthday this year and what a fun experience! I had Oliver who was such a great calm horse. I was nervous at first but after a while Oliver's gentle nature had me calm and enjoying myself! The horses look well cared for and the staff were super friendly! Would totally recommend and would love to come back. read more

The good: Had a fun time on the one-hour trail ride with a lovely horse (Jazzy) and a great guide. It was a very easy ride, perfect for beginners. We had marked we were intermediate riders though and were hoping we'd get to do something a little more than just walk the horses. The bad: The woman running the check in desk was one of the worst customer service providers I've ever encountered. She was clearly frazzled, unorganized, and taking it out on all of us who were there. She was complaining loudly about everything, telling people who had already paid they might not get to go, complaining about what horses they had available, swearing over the computer, bemoaning the fact she hadn't worked there in a few years, and just completely not put together. It was a huge damper on the experience, as we had to wait in line for more than 30 minutes listening to her, and our ride started nearly an hour late. read more

I had a really great trail ride at this ranch. The guides were friendly and helpful, and the horses were calm and well-cared for. Perfect for a beginner like me. read more

We had a 10:30 trail ride. Everything went smoothly. Our guides were great. This is the place to go for horseback riding in the Lake George area read more

We had SO much fun on our ride! We did the sunset dinner ride...1 hour ride up the mountain, then they cook you a delicious BBQ meal (not fancy but delicious!), and you get to sit on the top of the mountain for an hour, and then it's another hour back down. The staff were great and super friendly. The horses were very well behaved and well kept. Reasonable prices. We'll definitely be back! Only con: No bathroom! There's only a stinky porta-potty. read more

We had an easy time with the horses, the trail, and the guides. We really enjoyed our trail, especially the water stop where the horses got the chance to get a drink! The ranch is conveniently located near the village so we didn't have a long car drive to get there which we really appreciated. read more

We had a very large group and the organizers of the group overbooked us. The crew handled it really well and broke us into two. Bring in the second group, we only had to wait another 30 mins or so. They handled the issue that was not their fault with grace and efficiency. They brought in extra people and made it happen. We had a great time and would definitely recommend! read more

We had a wonderful 1 hour trail ride with Dylan as our guide. The horses were well behaved, clean and obviously taken care of. We can't wait to go back again. read more

My daughter and son were terrified of riding a horse but the staff was so helpful in getting them both up in horses. We had a really fun first experience riding a horse and they want to come back every day next weekend. We rode Lily and Sandy, and our friends rode Buddy and Freckles. We had such a fun time, thank you! read more

Went 3 yrs ago and decided to make sure our vacation this year included horseback riding here again. LOVE going here. The food at the top of the mountain is always delicious. The staff is always welcoming! Just wish it was so far away from where we live. I can't say enough about this wonderful place. read more

Fantastic experience with the family. This was our first time in the Lake George and I couldn't be happier with our pic for a horse trail ride. The price was reasonable especially for an hour ride! Emma our guide was great and very nice. Only complaint was that I was not able to get any pics because they secure your phones but they tell you that your guide will take plenty of pics for you, sadly that did not happen. So, that part bummed me out and is the reason I am only giving 4 stars. Maybe next time read more

It is a very organized place . I went there without reservation and the staff worked out to fit me in their schedule. Our guide was very very nice ... she was very interactive , explaining and instructing us during the course. The horses are calm and clean. I'm looking forward to go again next summer. I really recommend this place. read more

Don't waste your money if you have kids under 9 ! I was told my kids can go on a 15min horseback ride. Both kids were back within 5 mins ($30- crazy) . I said to the staff that was only 5 mins and was told "they walked down and back." That's it !!! And there was silence ( this was after I was told on the phone it was 10 to 15 min) but 5 min !! Shame on you ...! I talked about 10 other parents with kids out of wasting their hard earned money on this before we left. read more

We've been to Bennett's a few times now and at different times of the year. The rides have always been perfect - gentle horses and beautiful scenery, great staff too, always friendly and professional. This is going to start sounding like a restaurant review but they do a dinner ride that's fantastic. You order before you go - steak, chicken or salmon - and when you get to the top of the mountain it's freshly cooked and waiting for you. Beautiful views and great food. some more pics here - http://robertiulo.com/2016/09/dinner-at-lake-luzerne/ read more

Mountain View Rocking B Ranch - The view at dinner. - Amusement Parks Near Me - Lake Luzerne, New York

My favorite place to ride horses with my family!, There are others in the area but this place just seems to be more personal,super friendly staff especially owner Bonnie and our beautiful guide Patience, The horses are Beautiful as well lol and well behaved, The trail through the woods was very nice and peaceful but not that adventurous, $25 for half an hour it is well worth it though, I highly recommend this place over all the others in the area and we look forward to coming back next year! Also a special thank you to Emily Who convinced my 9 year-old son to go through the trail, she is very good with the young ones! read more

As first timers, my wife and I had a fantastic time on the one-hour trail. The horses are very well cared and loved, and the personnel is very friendly and helpful. Plus it is reasonably priced and no need to book in advance (first come first serve though). We will definitely go back as soon as we can. read more

Not a bad experience overall. We did the sunset ride & they offered dinner at the top of the mountain. Utensils were all packed in a zip bag & everyone just kept sticking their hands in to get them. Nonetheless the food was definitely good, probabaly better than most restaurants in the area. When we started the ride the horses were exhausted after doing more rides than they should have that day. I was given a horse named Rocky who was probably the slowest out of the bunch or maybe overworked that day. Our lead was a teenage boy & when Rocky stepped on ground bees & started freaking out trying to throw me off, the guide didn't even move from the front of the line to come to my help & control the horse. I was lucky to not fall off but the horse was on 2 feet at one point & it could've gone very bad. Just some advice for the owners, please have someone older & more experienced lead a group of 6 next time if you don't want people getting hurt. read more

Very unprofessional. Teenager at front desk does not know how to run a business. I had called to make sure they would be able to accommodate my family, they said yes and to come as soon as we can. When we got there we were told to come back the next day. read more

We have done trail rides here often over the last 25 years (mainly when it was known as Bennett's). It's always a great experience, but our last visit several weeks ago was the best. My 11 year old son, who us afraid of heights, decided as we were getting on the horses that he didn't want to ride. He was incredibly nervous, which we didn't know going into it. The staff, especially our guide Savannah, were amazing. Savannah had his horse connected to his for the entire ride and had him distracted. She really made it such a positive experience. read more

Another 5 star review for a genuinely perfect experience. The staff is genuine and charismatic. Our guides (Ava and Laura) made sure everyone was as comfortable with their horses as the horses were with their riders while conversing and doing tricks. We did the breakfast ride with another family and every aspect was perfect. The group wasn't too big, the trail was a good length, and while I won't spoil the surprise, I can say that the breakfast was delicious. Absolutely perfect, worth every penny. read more

This spot is very unprofessional, called twice to make sure they can accommodate us so we cancelled plans to come here and than they told us we arrived minutes too late and did not us let us ride even though we had a big group. Had a young teenager at the front desk who seems like has no clue on how to run a business. read more

Awesome place. They're horses are patient, sweet, and an all around treat. Rocky (the horse) is a little rocky. We rode Jazzy and Dillenger, who were great trail companions. Guides are extremely helpful and patient. A wonderful place for young kids and beginners. read more

This place was an absolute gem! We stumbled across this stable after a horrible encounter down the road. The horses are well taken care of, the girls running the place were awesome, and they accommodated our group of 7 with no problem; with no reservation. The kids were allowed to pet the horses and take pictures prior to riding which thrilled them. The staff was patient and extremely insightful. I highly recommend coming here and riding their trail. read more

Awesome, couldn't have been any better. Great horses, great guides, great view. Super supper too. Thank you to the staff and horses.

Me and my family had a really great time. We went on the 30 min ride and it was perfect. The horses were pretty and friendly. The staff although young, knew what they were doing and were helpful and nice. I highly recommend this place. read more

Wonderful experience. We took a group of kids to celebrate my daughters 16th birthday and everyone had a great time (none had any riding experience). I can't say enough good things about the staff - super friendly and fun. The trails are in excellent shape and the horses are gentle and easy to ride. We can't wait to go back and try the dinner ride to the top of the mountain!! We highly recommend this stable! read more

This place is awesome. My family of 5 did the 1 hour trail ride. None of us have ever been horse back riding before and we all did great! The staff was awesome, the horses were beautiful and awesome as well. You do not need a reservation for the 30 minute or 1 hour rides and they take credit cards. Highly recommend this stable and Jazzy, my awesome horse! read more

Excellent, family run business! Staff is super friendly, horses are friendly and the trails are beautiful. Have been here three times already and each time I've had an absolutely terrific experience. Weekends can get crazy and you can wait up to an hour to ride, but the time flies when you are in such a beautiful environment. During the weekday, you have to make a reservation to ride, which actually works out well because then you don't have to wait around for the horses to get back. The family who owns these stables are very kind and love what they do. The horses are gentle and well trained. Will be back again and again! read more

I went for my first horseback ride here at Bennett's. It was the best first horse ride I could have had. My guide Kelly was so nice and always informed us what was coming up ahead. All the horses were very friendly. I went on the hour ride this time. After my ride was over, I was ready to book the 2 hour ride. If you are looking for a great place to ride a horse....try ...BENNETT'S STABLES !!!! read more

AMAZING!! We went on the sunset dinner ride and had the best time. A great family run barn. They were great to get to know on the ride! Thanks for a great time! read more

I love taking the trail ride here. My daughter loves to ask the guides questions, and they are very patient and answer her. My daughter loves it he guide Kenzie. The horses are very sweet and friendly. read more

I came to bennett's riding stable yesterday afternoon, and absolutely adored it. There were a bunch of horses and you can tell they're well taken care of. There's a border collie running around (family dog), very friendly and active. I went on a trail ride with copper. It was very nice with the snowy ground and random streams of water. The hosts were very accommodating. Next time, I will try the ride up the mountain side for dinner. read more

Our visit to Bennett's was fantastic! We came to Lake George for our anniversary/end of summer getaway. The entire weekend was great but we chose to do one last activity the morning we were headed home. We had fun horseback riding one previous time and decided to try Bennett's. It is easy to find off the main road, with a big sign and the horses all hooked up right there. The staff were ALL extremely friendly and carefree. No one made us feel inadequate for not being skilled riders, or out of towners on vacation. They were smiling, joking, laughing, and getting things done. We paid up front, no cell phone allowed which was amazing because during the ride we took it all in and enjoyed it so much more. Getting on the horses was easy with the help of the staff. We opted not to wear helmets but many others were as they were given the option. Our ride was an hour with a young lady named Emily who was super! She talked with us the entire time and made us feel at ease. Our group had the slow horses but we had the best time! The trails are beautiful, clean and well kept. The horses were marvelous and very well behaved-even very social with one another! We loved our experience at Bennett's and will be making a yearly trip here for sure. This was by far the best place to go in Lake George for a horse back riding trail. read more
