Great retreat for who wants to experience a dude ranch. It is set in a beautiful location, the food is all made in house from scratch (that includes the breads they serve, the meat comes from their animals, the milk comes from their cow) and the company you get in the evenings from the owners and the other guests is something you will always remember. Your day will be full of activities like horseback riding, fishing, hiking, photo lessons (this is a newer addition) or you can just hang out by the creek meandering through the yard. Definitely a vacation like no other.

Year 26 here...what more can we say !||Have always enjoyed the people, the place, the location, the horses and the cattle work.||Have typically come in late spring to maximize how much we get to work with the cattle.||It has been our yearly horse & cattle 'fix'.
Every aspect is incredible. This ranch is worth far more than they are charging and worth any distance to visit. Friendly people, good food, amazing activities and a fantastic location.
Great food, and riding!
