To begin, I was with my girl scouts and for a scout trip, this place gets 4 stars. There was plenty to do, the staff was wonderful, and it was clean and welcoming. The main complaint we all had, is the food was never really hot enough at any meal. The food is not that great to begin with. Honestly,... More

We just got back from spending the weekend at RHR with two grandchildren ages 7yr and 3yr. We had a wonderful time. My husband and oldest grandchild ride so while they were on the trails the youngest and I took time for pony rides, wagon rides and really enjoyed the little playground. The water park is small (don't think Great... More

We went to the Rocking Horse over the New Years weekend. It was as expected, Not a Ritz Carlton,but a very nice Resort with very large and clean rooms. We met some 35 friends up there and we all had a very good time. It was warm, but we did some skiing and horseback riding. The parties and entertainment were... More

Just returned from another rocking good time at the RHR with our group from the City of Hope. As usual, the food, accomodations, activities and the friendly staff were the main reasons for returning. Sometimes, you feel as if you are at a Disney funpark because everytime you stop to look around you, someone from the Ranch is either saying... More

Went w/my parents and sister and 13 year old niece in August. We didn't expect stunning rooms, just comfortable and that's what we rec'd. Food is plentiful, but didn't seem healthy enough. Water slides are super fun and so is the banana boat. Horseback riding was fun as well. That said, we wound up leaving a bit earlier than anticipated.... More

The problem was corrected and an explanation was made by our office manager to both the family and credit card company. The credit card company understood... More

This was our 15th trip to Rocking Horse Ranch and it is always the same....great! Everyone is always sooo friendly and willing to make our stay enjoyable. The food is very good, the service great, and everyone is smiling. We spend a lot of time on the horse rides and the wranglers are always concerned about safety but are also... More

We recently took our grandchhildren (ages 3,7,10) to the Rocking Horse Ranch, and it was truly a fantastic time for all. The rooms are immaculate, the food delicious and plentiful, the entire staff outstanding in courtesy and helpfulness. There are enough activities, both indoor and out, to satisfy all ages at all times. A few days after returning, we received... More

After viewing their website we expected to enjoy an all inclusive fun filled vacation. Not the case. The activities were actually activities that we could have done at home with the exception of a small ski hill and ten minute horse back rides, and at home they are free! Do not go if you have small children and do not... More

Dear John D, I (as well as our general manager) were on property both days of your weekend stay and we agree there was a large family group that at times had concerns we needed to address. Regarding the horseback riding and food comments, we absolutely will use your feedback to improve our operations. Knowing that you and your family... More
