Some comments from our 2007 guest surveys:
"Had a great time.  Enjoyed the scenery.  Did more
riding than any other place...."

"We had such a great time here!  We could ride when
we wanted, push cattle or just trail ride, and there was
plenty of time to relax.  We will definitely try to come
back again."

"Overall, this has been one of the best ranch
experiences we have had.  Idaho is a lovely state, and
your family (and employees) are genuine and
exceptional."

"Had a wonderful time!  I would come back."
