This place is a city slicker's dream come true.
Staff: Wonderful staff. Every staff member is friendly and cheerful.
Horses: The horses are amazing. No sway-backed nags here. You are matched to a horse that suits your riding experience, and you may keep the same horse for the duration of your stay or request a change.
Gear: You can rent a pair of authentic broken-in cowboy boots from the office. I highly recommend this option. It's cheap, and you get to feel like a real cowboy, and it's the safest footwear to ride in. Helmets are provided free of charge. Wear a helmet. I was cocky one time and didn't wear a helmet and suffered a concussion as a result (not at this ranch).
Rides: The rides last approximately 2.25 hrs.
Accommodations: Basic rooms with slightly outdated decor. There are a couple of larger rooms available but the decor is similar in all units. The rooms are probably the least attractive part of staying at the ranch, unfortunately, but it's also part of the charm.
Food: Country comfort food. Breakfast is buffet style with scrambled eggs, sauteed veggies, sausages, bacon, potatoes, muffins, fruit, yogurt, cold cereal, coffee, tea. There is also a daily special that could be eggs benny or pancakes. Lunch could be burgers or pulled pork sandwiches with a couple of options for sides and special house-baked cookies. Dinner is meat and potatoes style - steak, roast turkey, etc. No complaints here - this isn't complicated food. Go for the Gourmet Weekend if you're lookin' for fancy food!
Extra Curriculars: Swimming pool, lounge, pool table, darts, line dancing, horseshoe pit... read more
