Tania at check-in was incredibly kind and helpful. She made the reservation process over the phone so easy and even helped me plan my surprise proposal, which meant so much to me. Our guide Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, patient, and made the entire experience unforgettable. We did the private 2hr mountain tour with the proposal and picnic package, and it honestly could not have been more perfect. The weather was beautiful, the views were breathtaking, and Sarah took the most incredible photos for us that we'll cherish forever. Everything felt so personal and special, and you can truly tell how much they care about giving people an unforgettable experience. Thank you all for helping create one of the best days of our lives -- we'll never forget

Well, I have to say that I was scared to get on a horse. I was given the most gentle guy they…read morehad--the very sweet Dusty. I have to give a huge shout out to instructor and horse (and people) handler, Nola Butler, who was as patient with me as a person could be. I was able to circumambulate the "arena" with said horse. But when I got on the trail, a few spatial disabilities of mine kicked in (no pun intended), so it was clear I just needed to end my ride. So I got off Dusty as fast as we could get back. (And in the transfer, Dusty managed to grab four huge bushes in one swift movement and put them in his mouth all at once! Impressive!!! That said, he was super gentle and elegantly hoovered an offered ginormous carrot from my hand with delicacy and speed.) So, all told, I maybe spent 30 minutes on the horse, but that was enough time to be truly impressed with this operation and with Nola, who was fabulous. Her assistance and instructions were very clear (and worked!) The set-up is caring about safety. As stated before, Nola is a Goddess of Patience (and good humor...) If I could manage to keep myself on a horse comfortably, I would be very happy with this outfit. I think it was really top notch.

While staying at Wildwood Farm B&B this past September, where PNRA is located, I took three lessons…read morefrom two of their trainers - Robin for dressage and Nola for western and trail. They have at least ten lesson horses used for western and english disciplines, though their dressage school master has apparently gone to the great pasture in the sky. They offer trail rides on 30 acres of woods plus the lanes surrounding their large and well-maintained grassy turnouts and two covered arenas. The horses are in excellent condition and their hooves well maintained, which is something I always look for. They rotate their lesson horses so they aren't overused and as a result they aren't sour as some lesson horses can become. The operation is very safety conscious. I plan on taking lessons again while staying at the B&B. I would recommend this business especially for kids and beginner riders, though anyone who is flexible about their riding will have a great time.

We stayed at WWFB&B in late September for a few days early in the week. The reviews were great and,…read morewe found, well deserved. I was particularly interested in taking some dressage lessons on a school master through their PNW Riding affiliate (operating at WW) to supplement my usual riding lessons after getting back into riding after a multi-year hiatus. The property is well taken care of, the rooms really welcoming (amazing mattresses!), and Gregg's breakfasts are five star for sure. We had to remind him to cut back on the portions - you won't leave the table hungry! He accommodated my dietary requests easily. OMG, I could live on his home fry potatoes. He really knows the businesses in the area and his restaurant recommendations were spot on. The acreage is a wonderful place to take a peaceful morning walk before your massive breakfast. You can tour the barns and visit with all the horses before they are turned out to their large grassy paddocks. I was told there were no resident bears on Whidbey so walking by yourself in the woods is safe. You just never know! I was disappointed to find out that their experienced schoolmaster had passed away, but was able to ride other horses during my time there. I took two lessons with one of their dressage instructors (Robin) on different horses, both in training themselves, which wasn't what I'd expected but was fun and educational nevertheless. One day I did a sort of trail ride combo and western lesson with their head trainer Nola which, again, was a lot of fun as I happen to like many riding disciplines. Their horse facilities are the best, with great turnout and two covered arenas in addition to their wooded trails. Heather asks all the right questions of their riding guests prior to setting up lessons. They advocate compassionate use of their lesson horses who are all maintained in excellent condition. Top notch equestrian operation! Heather writes an excellent monthly newsletter which is available online but also in print in the rooms. It covers a variety of topics related to the area and their place and it's a worthy read to get a feel for Wildwood. We'll be returning next year and will heed Gregg's advice to reserve our room way in advance.

We started off with the 90 min ride in a group and plan on scheduling the 2 hour private ride for later this summer. Elizabeth was very friendly. I really appreciated how we got there, quickly signed up, got equipment and we were off after a introduction. She rode ahead and was always there to answer any questions but my daughter and I were close enough to comfortably talk the entire time. I highly recommend this place, it was both mine and my daughters favorite.

Our horses were very sweet and took good care of us especially on the rocky terrain. They were very surefooted and even though my husband is a very beginner rider he was able to feel confident and relaxed throughout the ride. Our trail guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

It was definitely worth the price and I would highly recommend to anyone whether you've ridden before or not at all! 2 hours felt like just the right amount of time. They also offer a military discount!

I wanted to go horseback riding for my birthday. I found Stillwater Ranch by searching for trail…read morerides. I am so happy I did. This place was EXACTLY what I was looking for. The owners, Barbara and Dalton were so nice and down to earth, They are true animal lovers just like we are. They have over 20 horse, 3 dogs, 2 mules and they offer it all. This isn't your 1 hour trail ride up a dirt road and back. This ride is 3 to 4 hours long, through trees, down what looks like animal trails in the woods, you criss cross through the woods and clear cuts in the Skykomish River Valley then you head up mountain to this amazing lookout and have lunch. I rode a wonderful gelding named Bernie. Bernie's a Missouri Fox Trotter and he was super sweet. Chris rode Comet, she's a Tennessee Walker. Chris said she floated. You can see for miles up on "the rock". When you look down into the valley and see just how far you have ridden, you are amazed. Dalton said it is probably 5 miles. The lunch is amazing, it's from the Sultan Bakery and it is one of the best lunches I've had. Sitting up on the rock just me, Chris, and Dalton was so relaxing. We became instant friends. Stillwater Ranch offers a variety of rides that include river rafting, fishing, moonlight rides, overnight camping and much, much more. You can ride in all seasons - We are looking forward to a winter ride when the valley is covered in snow. They are even starting a wine dinner ride - woo hoo. The next time we need an equestrian fix, we will look to Stillwater Ranch to supply it.

I loved that we got on the horses right away. Once on horses that were somewhat aligned with our experience levels and nervousness (I wasn't nervous and got a sassier horse haha), they gave us a brief intro to how to control the horse. Then we were off pretty quickly! The guides spread out throughout our trail group and kept an eye on us. We stayed as a group and they checked in when needed. The views were incredible- we rode right along the river and it was so beautiful. After the ride, we got to feed and brush our horses, and even got to meet some cows and baby horses! It is so lovely to see how happy all the animals are here and how well taken care of they are. Such a special experience!

I'll admit I was skeptical when I first heard there was an actual farm in Seattle. Land here is…read morescarce and expensive. But lo and behold - there really is one! Seattle Farm is a privately owned 20-acre property, and I'm pretty sure it's the only farm within city limits. The place is beautifully maintained and feels like a hidden gem. No cows or chickens, but there are plenty of horses. We came during pumpkin season and paid $25, which covered both parking and admission. Big parking lot, easy access. At the barn you'll find several horses, and feeding them hay was a hit for both kids and adults. The darker horse was especially affectionate - kept rubbing its head against us, super sweet. You can also pay extra for horse/pony rides; they are all calm, well-trained, and come in various sizes. There's a food area with picnic tables where you can grab hotdogs and drinks. The pumpkin selection isn't as large as farms farther out, but still enough. It's great to see a place like this still operating in the city, and it's definitely worth supporting to help keep it going. I think they also host private events like birthday parties and weddings, and offer dedicated horseback-riding lessons - you'll need to call for details. Awesome family-friendly spot. We'll definitely be back next year!

From the time with other kids, the all camp games, the chance to select the events they do during the day and the opportunity to get into the lake all the time makes this a place all kids should look into.

The staff are great and really take great care of the kids as well as make the parents feel like a part of the program. The overnights are offered at the end of some weeks and my daughter wouldn't miss them. The weeks without an overnight are filled with a Family Fun Night and all parents should make the effort to get to the camp and have fun with your children. My daughter will attend this camp until she is too old and then she will start to give back and work at the camp as she already is looking forward to being a councilor and working at the camp.
