Our stay at High Country Guest Ranch was absolutely amazing. The owners are extremely helpful and very professional. They went out of their way to ensure our vacation was the best it could be. The cabins are all very nice. We stayed in Western Star (cabin #3) and it was perfect for our two families.

Buckaroo ride and trail rides were a huge hit! Beautiful scenery, chill horses, friendly, competent guides.

★★★★★ Becky, Jun 2025

Our family had an AMAZING time on a trail ride at High Country Guest Ranch. Ella And Torres were the best guides!! We were staying at the Mount Rushmore KOA, whose trail rides were full for the day. They recommended High Country as they are a "sister barn". It seemed to be a much more personal experience for us.

It was my first time riding a horse, and it was the best experience of my entire trip. At first, I was both nervous and excited, but as the ride went on, I started to feel more comfortable. My horse’s name was Skywalker, and he was amazing. I especially want to thank Brook, our guide for the day.
