Well i did love this place. The first two nights i stayed i was in a dirty room amd didn't know it. I had no sheets which when i came back for the 3rd night in the same week is when i found that out. I then was charged extra for whatever they say i guess. I booked teepees and they were not available.

Be very careful!
This was not the stay I anticipated. Not the cleanest and you have to use the duffle bag they give you and make the bed. My biggest concern was the heater. It is a propane space heater and mine wasn't working. It went out every 5 minutes. It was starting to get cold at 8 p.m.I hung out but I really couldn't deal with the leaking smell of propane in fhe wagon. i had to leave and find somewhere else to stay. It was non refundable which was no good.i just wanted clean and warm of which it was neither.

We stayed in the tepee for 2 nights. The first night dropped to freezing in summer and we weren't prepared for how cold it would be. Nice little Ranch though.

Loved staying in the Conesta Wagon. The ranch cat came to visit and snuggled with me all night. Went on a 4 hour ride that was absolutely amazing with gorgeous views. Definitely will be back!

We stayed in a Conestoga wagon. This is camping and you have to keep that in mind. It was in the 30’s every night and with the blankets and the little heater we were fine. The sky was stunning at night. We woke up to the mountains. The bathrooms were camp bathrooms. They are a bit worn but they did appear to be cleaned routinely. If you are looking for 5 star accommodations this is not the place for you. If you are an experienced camper then you will be fine. There is a little restaurant close. They were busy when we were there and a bit slow. We had a supper and a breakfast and the food was good. If you want a very convenient location and to stay in a Conestoga wagon this is the place for you. We would do it again.

Loved the running of the horses!
We were upgraded from a teepee to a wagon, which was a great thing since there were lots of storms and rain. It was nice and warm with the heating and super fun. Less fun was the run over to the bathrooms that were definitely substandard. All that could be forgiven on a dude ranch at the end of season, but some of the staff were very unfriendly and seemed as if they really didn't want to be there.
