Michelle surprised us by leading us on a trail ride by ourselves rather than within a large group we were signed up with. A very scenic ride and Michelle was the kindest and most accommodating host we have encountered in our many travels!

We had a great visit, the cabin was well- appointed with everything we needed to cook, rest, and enjoy our stay. The kids had so much fun with the animals, and I felt very safe getting back in the saddle after many decades away!

We had a fantastic experience staying in a tent cabin.

We had a fantastic time at this ranch! The family and employees were always kind and gracious. The property is absolutely gorgeous. We had a great time helping feed the animals, and shooting bb guns and bows. The kids enjoyed riding the horses. With the recent rainfall, we got to ride on a 10 ton truck to cross a river that cut through the property. Everyone loved that! We loved how attentive and hospitable the hosts were. They went out of their way to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We 100% recommend staying here.

Tim and hi s family are the most generous hosts. At every turn is another opportunity to enjoy in ranching life experiences that can’t be matched.

Though the children weren't able to ride because of rain and slippery conditions, Michelle, Maddi and Maleah adapted to provide a great educational session in which the kids were able to curry and brush the horses, get the mud out of their hooves and lead a horse, a pony and a donkey around a roofed ring and guide the animals around an obstacle course. Everyone, including the adults, enjoyed it!

This was a fun and educational experience for all of us aged 8 to 73. For the four kids, it was the first time they were doing archery and shooting. From Tim's safety talk at the beginning to Colton's help throughout, we all learned a lot and had a great time! Tim was very kind to set this up for us despite the rainy drizzle.
