Stayed here over the 2018 Thanksgiving long weekend for my girlfriend’s birthday. We booked a 4 hour horse trail ride and a 1 night stay in the on-site cabin. What an amazing experience! The staff was friendly and helpful. The cabin was cozy and supplied with what we needed for the night. We even had a chance to take out the canoe on Lake Talon to enjoy the view. Christine was our horse guide and she was great! I’m not the most experienced horse rider however, she trusted that I can take it up a notch to ride the horse into a canter and a gallop. The trails were challenging which was also fun! I would recommend to try this experience. If you can’t deal with being outdoors and limited to resources like no wifi or electricity, then this place is not for you.

Visited just recently and had a fantastic time!!! The staff and horses are all lovely, the trails are beautiful and it smells really nice. Looking forward to returning in the fall with the kids and grandparents.

Wonderful experience, the staff and guides were experienced and kind, taking the time to guide the group through basic safety and riding instructions. The Ranch is absolutely beautiful and well maintained, you can see the love and care they have for their horses and other animals. They are adding a lounge which is really promising for the months to come. The riding through the trails and the creek, followed by a waterfall sightseeing was really nice and relaxing, it truly shows how beautiful Canada is. The owner showed us around after the ride, explaining a bit of the farm and new plans, he was very kind and welcoming, we will definitely go back to experience the cabins next. 100% recommended.

My husband and I did the 2.5 hour Rough and Tough. First off, our experience with the staff was incredible. They were really friendly, easy going with letting us pet the horses in the pasture, and really good with returning calls in a timely manner. Our tour guide was also awesome in providing direction and being friendly. Overall, customer service was superb. The ranch itself is gorgeous as is the land surrounding it. Definitely worth a trip out to admire our Canadian landscape. Now, as for the ride itself... It was not for the weak, I tell you. It lived up to its name -- rough and tough. If you have serious experience on a horse, you'll enjoy this ride immensely. If you've only done relaxing trail rides in the past, you'll need some serious confidence and a serious sense of adventure. The best way to describe the Rough and Tough is to say it's hiking with horses. There are some steep inclines both up and downhill on rocky and/or muddy terrain. You'll need good control of your horse as he slides his way down, and uphill to keep him moving. The trails (path through the woods is more like it) were narrow so you were also required to be able to push into the trees to help your horse and to avoid your own scraped knees. All in all, I've been on trail rides where you could easily sleep through them, if you so desired. This was not one of them, and it was aaaamazing! Definitely fun, definitely adventurous, and all in all required such a connection and trust with your horse which really, isn't that what riding is about? :) Great value here. Highly recommend!
