Novices can become confident gallopers by week's end. Guests get to pick and keep their horse all week, and all riding lessons are included. There are also many other activities like rodeo, paintball, mountain biking and skeet shooting. The ranch has a spacious dining hall with a huge stone fireplace. There is a heated pool and Jacuzzi and a private stocked fishing area.
Guestrooms have two deluxe queen-sized beds, a full bath and a cozy fireplace.
Decorated in the atmosphere of the Old West, you will hate to leave your room but many activities await you. Terri and T.H. Cates, the owners, told me that this is really a four-season destination. There are 400 miles of groomed trails for snowmobilers. He offers snowmobiles rentals and special dinner rides. During the Fall, the ranch offers lodging and spectacular private big game hunts.
