"Amazing experience over a long weekend. Lots of activities and things to do in and in and around the ranch. The rooms are great, actually more like an apartment with living room, terrace, and walk in closet. And, it's the most dog friendly hotel we've ever stayed in! We could take our labradoodle even to the very nice Valley Kitchen restaurant.!"
