My room was freshly renovated and absolutely beautiful. Great size, modern, and extremely comfortable. The pool and outdoor facilities were fantastic. The staff were a highlight - everyone was so friendly and went out of their way to help me. I can't recommend them highly enough!

The horses were beautifully trained and well behaved. There is not a lot of variety in the riding (one main route), so not recommended for adventurous riders who'd like to trot/canter or ride somewhere different every day. I cannot fault the ride I had though - well guided, safe with a fantastic trail horse and beautiful views and knowledgeable guide.

Perfect and quit. We had a wonderful cabin for 5 people with great green views and a nice patio. Breakfast and dinner is included. Food is obviously home cooked and very tasty, which we really appreciated after almost 3 weeks on the road. Staff is so welcoming and you almost feel like part of the family. We did a horseback ride up the hills. It was definitely worth the cost and we really enjoyed our cowboy guide telling us about the area.

We liked everything - except that it was a bit pricey and by far our most expensive nights during our 3 weeks of vacation.

Meals provided were great. Location was ideal for a complete getaway, limited tv, unplugged and off the grid. Trail riding was beautiful and scenic. All personnel were kind and courteous the entire time. Special thanks to Kathy, Leslie, Julio and my guide Nick.

Perhaps the wifi for those that feel they would be insecure without it. Spotty Wi-Fi at best, that’s a real stretch.

Very friendly staff. You can tell they make every guest feel like a VIP. Meals are genuine home cooked.

Some people like a firm mattress and I am one of them. However, the mattress was extremely firm. I had a difficult time falling asleep the first night because of how firm it was.

We were on our honeymoon and they upgraded us to a cabin which was so lovely. Cabins are gorgeous and really stylish and roomy. Staff were wonderful especially Theresa! Such a peaceful location all you can hear is the stream and the birds. Lovely horseback riding in the hills.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Great location and lovely property. Lots of activities, including the kids. Trail ride as super fun and felt very safe. Loved the guides! Dinner was delicious!

Could use a little more attention to detail. Presentation was a bit lacking, in terms of food and coffee. Lighting could be a bit more homey. TV room would be nice to have a DVD player with DVD library.

The Views, and authentic Ranch feel.

We were hoping for BBQ for dinner on one of the nights of our stay but this didn't happen. We understand that there were only a small number of guests and this may have been the reason for this. This did not take away from our stay.
