Where to begin!! My girlfriend and I booked this trip last…read moreOctober as our getaway that we do every year. From the moment we arrived we where welcomed with open arms....Molly one of the ranch dogs was the first to greet us as we drove down the driveway. I have to honestly say Martin and Bernie and the girls blew us away and exceeded our expectations!!! We wanted a vacation to remember and to do some riding and wow...ride we did. We rode aprox. 6 hours a day on some of the most breathtaking trails in the area. We are both riders and have both done trail rides but nothing like this. This just took our breath away. The views from the mountain tops and the beautiful lakes made for the most amazing experience and some great photos. The horses are so well cared for. Bernie take pride in her herd and you can see it just by spending some time her and with the horses. She loves to share her knowledge of horses with you and I have to say I not only had a great vacation I also learned a lot. As for relaxation I can't think of a better place to unwind and relax after a day in the saddle. Martin made the freshest most amazing homemade meals. Coming back from a morning ride to homemade chicken soup with salad to homemade burgers, guacamole and the best blueberry pancakes ever with fresh squeezed orange juice!!! We were so spoiled!!! The atmosphere was very laid back and the owners and volunteers actually sat down at the table and enjoyed meals with us. Honestly by the end of our 6 night stay it was hard to leave as you really start to feel like family as you spend so much time with them. We made some great friendships with other guests and with the volunteers and we are already talking about our next trip back to visit.

This place is a city slicker's dream come true…read more 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...

When you arrive at the ranch, you are matched with a horse and if you like, they will try and keep you with that horse for your stay. There are two rides a day (1.5-2 hours at least) and food is plentiful, varied and delicious. They have very good horses, so be honest about your experience, you will be happy for it. The wranglers are caring, smart, fun and very competent. Rooms are very comfortable (air conditioned, great beds, pillows and comforters ) and delightfully basic. No phones or TVs in the room. Bring books! Wi-Fi is fine for work emails, but thankfully, generally not good for streaming video. You will find that kids will put their devices down and spend hours in the pool, playing horseshoes or pool between rides.
