Peaceful Weekend Getwaway

the location of this place is outstanding and the grounds are delightful. It is a very peaceful place and the staff was very helpful with all of our needs. Seeing the horses in their natural environment was so relaxing. Highly recommended.

6/10 Good

Just for riding horses, not a hotel to stay in.

If you want to ride horses, stay here. A bit odd to me, clean, but needs a refresh. Beautiful grounds.

It snowed the weekend we were there, but still enjoyed going down to the barn to spend time with the horses. They are amazing. Disappointed by the breakfast/meals that were included. We couldn't go far because of the snow, so we were limited and the meals were disappointing. Thank God they had snacks !!! The cook/ kitchen manager appeared to not want to be there and it was evident in the food she served and her general attitude (unwelcoming).

Can't wait to go back

My daughter and I had a wonderful time at the Ranch. We're pet the horses, played with the cats and dogs who live there, she saw the most incredible stars at night. Breakfast was excellent and if you tell them you're diet restrictions they'll work with them. The rooms are beautiful and have character. There are tons of places to sit and relax. The only negative thing I would say is they had terrible 1-ply toilet paper. So we're definitely going back, but maybe I'll bring a roll or two.

Very unique horse ranch. Now I was only there for the night, kinda wished I had more time to spend because the property was beautiful. Only issue I had was that I didn't get to see anyone at check out because I had to leave so early in the morning. But not everyone is up before 5:45 am. Lots of offerings, quiet relaxing time!

It was difficult to find! Directions provided by the host not clear!

10/10 Exceptional

Wow! What an amazing place. Beautiful, well loved and managed property. The front office manager (Karen) was wonderful and happy to give us the properties history. Dinner was well thought out and excellent. They had a spread of everything you could imagine potatoes, Ribs, chicken, beans, huge salad bar with all the fixings and desert lots of it!! I was impressed.I need to also mention the dinning room with 10 huge windos overlooking the pool, large flowering trees and the pasture of horses, donkies and ponies. I came here with my daughter for her 16th Birthday and we really enjoyed our time. The property was incredible to walk. They had geese, ducks, over 150 horses, hummingbirds and butterflies I could not ask for a nicer country ranch to visit. We will come back for sure but with friends.
