This was our second stay at the beautiful Rocking Horse Ranch. The home is very spacious with plenty or room for groups to gather together or have activities separately. There are two dining rooms and two kitchens, plus several smaller dining areas. The two main dining rooms were perfect for our group to have all of the children(10) dine in one room and all of the adults(7) dine in the other. However, if we wanted to, we all could have fit in the main dining room with some of the teens at the counter. This home has a lot of room outside to play. Rocking on the back porch with a cup of coffee in the morning was the perfect way to start our day. There is plenty of hiking trails near to the property with beautiful scenery,.

The property was better than even expected. Great for large families. Great communication with host. Loved that they had Christmas tree up.

No complaints whatsoever! Very clean! The grounds are fabulous, grassy lawns, wonderful porches…can’t say enough. Inside, everything is just perfect for large families. Best equipped kitchen l have been in a vacay rental ever. Host was kind and responsive to our few questions. Thank You Rocking Horse Ranch!
