Lodging
Comfortable, rustic, early American. Our two-story lodge has ten guest rooms some with adjoining doors, all with private bathrooms. We have some theme rooms including our romantic Cary Grant room, elegant Mae West room, original Frankenstien - Boris Karloff room, and nostalgic John Wayne room. Downstairs relax with a book while resting your feet on the massive rock hearth. Next to Estray creek we have rustic cabins that sleep from 2 to 7 people. One and two bedroom cabins have queens, twins and bunk beds with private bathrooms and porch swings.
Activities
Horseback riding is our main activity. Our unique progressive riding program emphasizes confidence and learning new skills in a safe, fun, and supportive environment. Ages 6 to adult can participate in our daily rides and lessons. Wee riders ages 3 to 6 enjoy pony rides in our Kiddie Corral program. Our wranglers are selected for riding skill, personality, and ability to work with all ages.
To accommodate all riders we offer four riding categories, based on age and experience. In each category wranglers teach skills appropriate for the group. Each days ride builds on the skills already learned. This is a low key, fun, challenging, but very safe way to ride. Trotting and loping is included in our riding program under careful guidance and supervision of our professional wrangler staff. Hiking and exploring are a guest favorite and other activities include: Guest rodeo events, karaoke, line or square dancing, frog races, softball, volleyball, fishing in our fully stocked trout pond, swimming in our heated pool, hiking, mountain biking, bon fire sing-alongs and roasting marshmallows around the campfire, to name just a few.
Children
Kids love the Greenhorn because they can play hard, learn some outdoor skills, and gain confidence. Parents love the Greenhorn because they know their kids are in a safe environment, always within earshot yet they can excersize a little independence. Kids can be engaged in activities all day between riding, fishing, softball and volleyball, even pequino - a fun card game like bingo with a little twist! The Wee Wrangler Program is designed to offer a pleasant, supervised playtime for youngsters, ages 3-5. Wee Wranglers enjoy pony rides, do cool nature crafts or visit the petting zoo under the watchful eye of a trained daycare provider. On site daycare provided
