8.2/10 Very Good! (382 reviews)
The resort was equipped with fun activities and dining options offered were of great value. Room was quaint yet clean and everything was in good working order. Loved the safety of being in a resort yet very close to nature. We only stayed 1 night but would love to come back for rodeo night on a saturday and maybe stay in a glamping tent just for the heck of it. Indiana was out guide for horseback riding and she had some fun stories as well as knowledge about the ranch which we enjoyed very much. Definitely coming back, maybe with a group of friends to multiply the fun!

9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,000 reviews)
We have stayed here twice now because the first time was a really great experience. Unfortunately it was the story of room and circumstance matters. Our first stay was on the third floor and we could barely hear any exterior noise. This time was on the second floor right above the restaurant and I suppose closer to the road way. You could hear everything, from the TVs next door, housekeeping slamming doors in the morning
