Gary and his team of wranglers are really extraordinary…read more We've written with different outfits before and we loved that American Safari was that it wasn't just riding in a line you got to be out in the open range. The horses were wonderful. The staff was wonderful in our group of 20 Had a wonderful time. But Billy works as how they break you up into smaller groups. We had people ranging from never on a horse to experience writers and everyone had a blast we highly recommend!

Came to North Fork for a winter fly trip the day after Christmas. Jeff was awesome with…read morecommunication ahead of the trip and what to expect (he undersold the trip to be honest). There were four of us fishing and they provided two guides which was perfect as we had someone in our group who had never fly fished before and he was able to get more 1:1 instruction from guide Ryan. The more experienced anglers went with Joe, both guides were incredible and worked their butts off to get us on fish. We booked four hours and it was nonstop action from start to finish. I personally landed somewhere around 30 fish with some of them being serious toads, I broke my personal best several times during the day. The guides were willing to be as hands on or hands off as we wanted and provided tons of great insight and knowledge to use on future DIY trips. Having fished all over the country this was honestly the best four hours I've ever spent on the water and can't wait to make an annual trip out of it. I'm sure these guys would take care of you on a summer trip but if you get a chance to do a winter trip don't sleep on it!!

Fantastic experience. The guides and ownership are equally amazing. The waters are like nothing…read moreI've ever experienced and added bonus the lunch provided is delicious.

8 mile dirt road into the mountains...what did I get my sister and myself into? Let me tell…read moreyou...something I had never experienced before, at least not all in one place. Amazing views, kind and accommodating people and lodgings, so much riding and so much good food all for what was a ridiculously low cost. The horses were obviously well kept and enjoyed their time with us, I hope, almost as much as we enjoyed ours with them. The food was clean, healthful and almost too much for my 5ft self. Nothing goes to real waste there as they do there best to be sustainable. It is a working ranch so there is a lot going on. Before anyone goes off on the animal cruelty thing, check yourself. They care for and about all of the animals on their property, the domestic and wild ones the same. If I lose some of you on this part, so be it: there is a feeling of faith there...nothing shoved down your throat but a simple reminder to be good to this land and to each other. Check on the pricing as they have summer months and a few other options. We went just as Labor Day was ending and got everything for what I think was less than their summer prices.

Disclaimer: I married into a family that loves this place and has been coming since 50 years ago,…read moreso there has been a heavy bias and favorable context for this place in my kind even before I went. I had seen the damage the fires had done and the lack of trees on the mountains were not a turn off for me, EXCEPT when I forgot to apply sunscreen. I finally went for myself with said family and extended family and it was a blast. Food, activities, entertainment, scenery, it was all fantastic. Staff is wonderful and treat you like friends. They have lots of stuff for kids aged 3 to teens and all those kids had a blast. Made a ton of great memories. Would recommend for anyone who likes active outdoorsy vacations/retreats.

BEING WOKEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO KNOCKING, HEADLIGHTS, AND PEOPLE WALKING AROUND OUR PROPERTY AND NEIGHBORS PROPERTIES IS NOT WELCOMED. Owners have been contacted, but for some reason, 5 people have shown up at our home this year alone looking (which is NOT the correct address and a good 45 minutes away in the wrong direction). We have had people stuck in mud, snow, and ice on our dirt road. Not to mention having to sleep in their cars at -20°F because there is ZERO phone reception here. At minimum, we will have you towed at your expense. Like I said, owners have been contacted and yet the problem still persists.

Wish the lodge had access to the lake back there but it doesn't. They made everything work and still offered breakfast options during Covid. Lots of hiking and fishing options in the area but not a lot of food options so keep that in mind you will have to drive a bit for restaurants and grocery stores.
