My husband and I spent New Year's weekend at Tarryall River Ranch with three other couples. We all agreed that is was the best New Year's ever. The Tesch family is very welcoming and the accommodations were perfect for eight friends celebrating the holiday together. All seven meals were wonderful and the hayride was beautiful. We have visited the ranch... More

This was supposed to be a holiday of a lifetime for my daughter and I so expectations were high. The whole experience far surpassed our wildest dreams and we have been saving hard ever since to enable us to go back. We cannot wait. Everyone made us so welcome, the horses are fantastic and the whole day filled with fun... More

I wouldn't change a thing about Tarryall. My dad and I have made it our annual vacation three summers in a row and are booked for a fourth in 2012. The Tesch family is always welcoming and accomodating from the beginning to the end of our stay, and by now it feels like visiting friends. They always have a top-notch... More

As a single woman traveling alone on the first visit I was not sure what to expect or how I would fit in. No worries, after half a day I felt like a member... More

I can't say enough great things about Tarryall River Ranch. From the time we arrived the Tesh family made us feel comfortable and welcome. The staff, horses, food and scenery were wonderful. The horses are well trained and the rides vary enough to cover all levels of riders. We went on an adults-only week and left relaxed and stress free.... More

Excellent ranch vacation. The cabins were extremely clean, comfortable and tidy. Food was served family style, three wonderful meals a day, good variety of food and catered to special diets for several of the guests. Horses were matched perfectly to the rider from beginning rider to very advanced. Many choices for daily rides from scenic, to mosey to advanced loping.... More

We found this place through the Colorado Dude Ranch Association -- our 4-day visit with our twin 6 year olds was EXCELLENT -- everything was top notch -- the accommodations, kid-friendly ranch, food, staff, hospitality, and equine! It was our kids' first time riding; they were handled with patience and care -- the wranglers were top notch and very confident!... More

Our family of four just returned (in August 2011) from a wonderful, weeklong visit to Tarryall River Ranch in Colorado. We traveled to the ranch, along with 25 relatives, to celebrate the second part of a destination wedding (the wedding itself was held elsewhere). We have been fortunate to travel a lot (having visited much of the USA and over... More
