Excellent experience. The meals were off-the-charts outstanding. AUTHENTIC real-pure maple syrup with breakfast. The room was wonderful. Great lodge room for evening socialization, movies, games, etc. The staff could not be better. The price is more than reasonable. My horse, Boss, was the best. Many fun activities. Charming facility.

Room was clean but property in bad need of routine maintenance. The pool was green, weeds growing up through pool deck, manure right out side of door to the lodge that had to be dodged when bringing in suitcases and the main gathering area has not been dusted in a long time. The Staff was wonderful with the exception of the cook who clearly did not want to be there. Horses were well cared for which is definitely a priority. The ranch has a lot of potential if maybe better staffed so that there could be more attention to detail.

Kay El-Bar 2-Night Stay

Wonderful experience in an historic guest ranch. The ranch is old, which accounts for the great vibe it has. It could use some room updates in the way of painting and bedding refresh, perhaps, but I was very comfortable and enjoyed my two night stay. Food was great.

We had a wonderful stay at Kay El Bar guest ranch. We highly recommend the horse riding experience -- we were total beginners and they made us feel really at ease. We loved the communal dining for meals and the food was a real highlight as each meal was so delicious! Would recommend opting in for lunch and dinner as they are excellent value for money given the high quality of the meals.

Excellent example of a true ranch, not something put together for tourists. Lots of historical background. Our European visitors had requested that our sightseeing trip include a real western U.S. ranch. This was perfect and they loved it!

We enjoyed this cozy and welcoming resort that had great food and a relaxed ambience. We didn’t ride but heard that the riding was excellent. The hiking was good. Happy hour food was provided and sometimes there were cookies to enjoy. There was no housekeeping during our stay which was fine with us.

Peaceful and serene

Absolutely beautiful location. Horses, birds, all kinds of stunning flora and fauna around. It was quiet and peaceful, someone always available for questions or whatever. It is off a dirt road ( little tricky on our motorcycles), but the location added to its charm. Rooms are comfy and clean and the food was really good! We didn’t take advantage of the activities they had to offer, horseback riding etc, but I’d love to go back again and try it someday.

We enjoyed morning horse riding, but the breakfast and dinners options can be better. Need add more tasty and variety food. Also, a bed can be more comfortable. Price and quality are not equal. Should be cheaper night stay, or make updates.

Great getaway from urban life.

The dude ranch experience was unexpected and fun. We were looking for a 3 day stay at a traditional motel to visit family. Staff was very attentive and freindly. While we didn't do many activities the environment was a great deal of fun. The great room (joint living room) with fireplace was realy special. THe chef was excellent each meal was so delious and unque in many ways. The beds do need upgrading particularly for seniors. They need to tend to some safety issues as many of the outside ground lights were not working making it hazardous to walk the walk ways after dark.
