   I stayed here recently for two nights at a family cabin. Very cute! The kids really enjoyed it! We spent the first night at the campground. The second day we spent time at the indoor waterpark, arcade and restaurant. The employees here are amazing, making the stay extra special!

   I did a private ride. I have not ridden a horse in 20 yrs. I had Emily as a guide. She was amazing. 😁 Very informative, when I had question about riding techniques she was able to provide the answer. Also hilarious. I felt relaxed and calm while riding. I will be back again maybe in the warmer months.

   This was my very first time horse riding, and it was an amazing experience! The trails were beautiful, with lots of deer and turkeys along the way, which made the ride even more special. The staff were incredibly nice, friendly, and very helpful throughout the experience.

   I went horseback riding for the first time here and it was amazing! I absolutely love the horse I got to ride! The instructor was funny and very friendly. We went through the river and my horse love to play in it, so that was a cool experience. I definitely wanna do it again.

   Amazing experience with Lisa! She knows sign language which helped my deaf grandson enjoy his 1st ride on a horse. My granddaughter may have found a new love over gymnastics and my other grandson can't wait for his next ride. All 3 of them asked me to go again tomorrow. Lol

   We had such a great time horseback riding here. I went with my friends, and it was a fun adventure from start to finish. The experience was enjoyable, well-run, and something I would definitely recommend. I would absolutely do it again! Calvin was also a joy and made experience even better

   Sherry was such a joy to work with. Very thorough in all aspects. Horses were well cared for. Wranglers we knowledgeable and very friendly. Trails were well maintained. We had a party of 12, for my daughter's birthday. I want to go back in the fall when the keaves start to change colors.

   This was the absolute best. No one in my family has ever been on a horse before, but this was essentially my daughter’s dream. So we surprised her with the tour today. It was worth every single dime. The guide that came with us was remarkable. She talked us through the sites and helped us learn to ride.

   Rented a canoe only, we did not ride horses or stay there... Friendly, family ran ranch on a beautiful clear quick river. Get ready to dump... Those flat bottom aluminum canoes are super tippy! The water is REFRESHING. Awesome day on the Boardman River. The river trip is short so stop frequently and enjoy the views.

    I rode Bubba and he was so sweet and gentle. It was my first time riding a horse but I felt well supported by the staff. If you’re looking for a cool experience, try it! You won’t regret it!

Tags appear only when a stable's Google reviews or its own website mention the service: green for rides, brown for lessons and programs, blue for boarding. The proof is on each stable's page. "On Google" shows the stable's first Google categories: a park or resort that offers riding among other things ranks on all of its Google reviews, not only riders' reviews. Quotes are excerpts from public Google reviews. Ratings and review counts come from Google and change over time.
