What a fun horseback riding experience we had! My 8 years old son who was not sure if he was brave enough to ride a horse had so much fun, and he kept asking if he could do this again several times after. We all enjoyed learning how to take care of the horses as well.

My wife, son and I had one of the best weekends in a long while at Bar SZ Ranch! We were able to ride horses, feed and pet an amazing assortment of farm animals and relax in an incredibly beautiful place. Out hosts were all down to earth, truly kind and thoughtful people who you just want to spend more time with. We were hoping to find a place for a repeat visit and this is definitely it!

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 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.
