We arrived at approximately 7pm, and according to directions (late check-in after 7pm) I left a message but received no phone call back.A nice man on the Ranch gave me the entrance code. We entered the room to find dirty sheet rolled-up on the bed and dirty towels laying on the floor in the bathroom. I have pictures which I can post.It was awkward and disgusting and unclean. There was nobody present to address this issue with. We left promptly (around 8pm) and found a hotel room locally.

"We want every guest to feel comfortable on arrival. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- The nice gentleman the guest speaks of is the owner, who personally provided the entrance code and was available at check-in to help if any concerns had been raised. So, the statement that no one was available is inaccurate.
- The guest did not attempt to bring the problem to our attention, even after just talking with us. The fact is that the issue could have been solved quickly had the issues been mentioned at the time, so the stay could have been enjoyed.
We take great pride in being responsive and available to our guests."
We loved our stay! The added plus to our experience were the animals. It was really neat that there were pigs, chickens, horses, cats and other animals on the property. The website should be updated though because the ranch is not a 1 minute walk to Raystown Lake.
This was such a cool place to stay, with horses and birds and piggies! Our cabin was tidy and clean and felt very comfortable. The owners are super nice and friendly!

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in the Cheyenne cabin and it was perfect! Very clean and tidy. And the animals were an amazing bonus!

Overall the Urban Saddle Ranch was an interesting and cozy place to stay in the woods! Accommodating and friendly with all necessities met.
That being said, the main issues came with being in the woods! First issue was the HUMONGOUS spider in the bathroom!! Leg span was 3 inches easily and while it was probably a wolf spider, it looked almost like a small tarantula!! Then, started noticing all the other bugs and ants which led to a lot of preemptive screams due to the spider encounter. After that, found mouse droppings along the baseboard of the bathroom and headed out into the living space…keep ur food stored tightly away!!
The owners were kind in helping us check in late and were good at keeping an eye on who was on the property but being courteous. The fire pits would have been awesome to use but it rained! Also not as close to where u WANT to be on the lake for fishing and boating.
There are free range ducks and turkey so caution with bringing any birddogs!!
