I wish we could give more than 5 stars! This was such an amazing experience and a great way to end our trip. We received so much knowledge about the horses (who were all beautiful and so nice). Loren was our guide on the horseback ride and made this experience so good. We would recommend them over and over again to anyone considering! read more

My wife and I had an incredible weekend out here. Everything was personal and perfect. We enjoyed the best pork chops ever as well as a fantastic trail ride as part of a couple's package. The setting was quiet and drive in an amazing experience. We're already figuring out how we can visit again. read more

WONDERFUL! I can't say enough good things about our stay at A to Z! We took 6 horses, UTV, SxS, and dirt bikes. Our horses did amazing, it was gorgeous! The stalls are close to the cabins and convenient to keep watch on your horses. Our boys enjoyed riding around on the ATV trails, it's a bit rocky for dirt bikes so don't recommend, but not impossible just have all the gear! The cabin was clean and had what we needed! The bed linens were probably the best linens I have ever slept in. It was so quiet, you can't hear a single sound of the road. Totally relaxing! The owners and trail boss are friendly & helpful thru out your entire stay. Cannot wait to go back in the spring!! Tips: Horses must have shoes on all 4. The trails are rocky so I do not recommend bringing any horse who has lameness tendencies, retired, or out of shape. Dirt bikes are possible but probably not enjoyable for the avid rider nor the beginner rider. To be clear they have strong rules about motorized vehicles stopping for horses at all areas of the park and trails so you don't need to worry about anyone riding up on your horses. read more

We loved it! We went for the eclipse. It was such a quiet and peaceful place. We loved the cabin and the owners were so wonderful. They took great care of us from start to finish. We also went on a horseback ride and all loved it. My son especially loved helping to feed the horses and stopping by to pet the horses and talk about things kids can only talk to horses about. read more

We had a great ride with family (ages 73-9). Horses were perfect and staff was friendly! Amazing trail through woods, creeks and mountains. Highly recommend. read more

This place is so quiet! We loved every second we were there. We can't wait to go back for another retreat. The cabins are fully stocked with almost everything you need in a kitchen. We were very impressed with the whole set-up. The owners are so nice and sweet! They make sure you have great time. read more

Awesome horse back riding experience! I did a 4 hour ride with my Step-daughter who had never ridden before and we went up steep rocky cliffs and through creeks with no problem. The horses are all so sweet and gentle! The guide was great as well! She took great care of us! We finished the tour with a lunch. Oh my gosh as if the horses weren't amazing enough the lunch was to die for! A ham sandwhich with chips and some kind of cucumber tomato mixture on the side that was to die for! Everything was so fresh! We scarfed our food down like we hadn't eaten in days! The next day I brought my 9 year old daughter for a 1 hour ride and she also had never ridden before. They let her pick out the horse she wanted and even the saddle. The horses just loved her! She had the best time! I would highly recommend! Such great people! I can't wait to come back. read more

This place was amazing. My friend and I took our mules and rode the trails. They offered both covered stalls and open pens. Just beautiful! We stayed in an RV spot and used the bath house for showers. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. Beautiful place to relax and enjoy! read more

This place was absolutely amazing, from the cabin to the food to the service 11/10. Our cabin was very cute and quiet and clean, it had everything you could need inside. The hot tub and fire pit were very nice too. The owners Christina and Tim are so accommodating and kind, they really take care of you. I 100% recommend the food, it's AMAZING. Don't skip the food. The horse ride was beautiful and fun! The grounds are very diverse and you get to pass through a lot of different looking areas. They take very good care of their horses as well. I couldn't sing higher praises! It was perfect. read more

100% recommend this place! We were totally blown away by the beauty of the area and the hospitality of the owners and staff. We went on the 3 hour trail ride which was breathtaking! The horses handled the steep/rocky trails and creek bottoms without an issue. We also rented a UTV which was exactly what we expected (so so fun, prepare to get a little muddy!). We also went to Hochatown for pizza at the Greatful Head which the owners recommended, best pizza I've ever had! Be sure to save yourself time to explore Hochatowns restaurants, brewery's, go-carts etc. We will definitely be coming back and recommending A to Z to our friends! read more

We booked this place very last minute on a whim back in December of 2014 and we still think about all the fun times we had here. The drive was a bit longer than we had expected from Dallas, but the instructions given to us through e-mail was very helpful. We highly recommend using their instructions because cellphone service is very limited up in the mountains. We arrived late, but that was not a problem as an envelope was left for us with instructions and a map for our cabin. We stayed in the adults only Longhorn cabin near the creek, which we found to be quite calming and romantic. We were greeted by two of the ranch's dogs, Buckaroo and Cowboy, and they stayed with us most of the evening. We are big-time animal lovers, so we greatly enjoyed their company. The room was very nice and much more than we had expected. There was everything we needed to make a nice meal (sans the food) from pots and pans to dinnerware. We went right before Christmas and the cabin was decorated very festively with a mini Christmas tree and holiday music was playing upon our arrival. There was also popcorn, hot chocolate, and stuff for us to make s'mores in the kitchen, which we greatly appreciated. The hot tub was up and running and we were sure to make good use of it (especially right after the horseback ride we took the following day). The next morning, we met with the owners, Zonda & Sandy, along with their family members at breakfast. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. After breakfast, we took a short nap on the couch and lazy boy. That lazy boy really made me LAZY --- I enjoyed all the naps I took on it and it is super comfortable! After lunch, we took a 3 hour horseback ride with Sandy and his grandson into the mountains. It was our first time on a horse, and we really loved the ride! Sandy did a great job as a guide and we enjoyed the conversation and spectacular views. We were not sore one bit after the ride, but it was a bit chilly up in the mountains (be sure to dress appropriately). After the ride, we took yet another nap in the cabin before heading out for one of Zondra's famous dinners. We had brisket, salad, potato casserole, and bread with dessert. Everything was, as all the other reviews had mentioned, DELICIOUS! After dinner, we started a small fire right outside the cabin and roasted marshmallows and just hung out for a bit before jumping into the hot tub again. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our time here and it was EXACTLY what we needed. If you are looking for a last minute get-away from the hustle and bustle of the city or looking for one-on-one time with a special someone, I would highly recommend A to Z. We plan on coming back with our big family and taking the kiddos here so we can enjoy some nearby fishing, ATVs, and some more horseback riding. The owner's son gave us a small tour of the larger cabins which can sleep 16 guests, and is much bigger than the couple's cabins. Another thing about the owners is that they are proud Christians who take pride in serving the Lord. As Christians, we love to support those who have a heart for serving others in fellowship and in everyday life. God bless you and your ranch for all the work that you both do. =) Thank you Zondra and Sandy for the wonderful time. We will be sure to be back soon! read more

Gretta was our wonderful friendly guide. Christina and Tim you have a lovely wonderful setup. From horseback, cabins, to ATVs . Can't wait to come back and try the rest your ranch has to offer. The trails are amazing!! read more

Took the 2 hour trail ride with my two children and niece ages 15,14, and 11. It was fabulous! The hosts were sweet, the guides were so kind, and the scenery was beautiful! The horses are so gentle. Would definitely recommend A to Z to all! It is about 40 minutes from Hochatown and easy to find, well identified. read more

A to Z Guest Ranch - Active Life Near Me - Smithville, Oklahoma

Ok, we visited the ranch during the summer of 2008. I know that's a while ago, but we had such a great experience here. Was just thinking about our awesome weekend and wanted to share. My wife, then gf and I were visiting my aunt from Tulsa for 2 weeks and decided to take a mini side trip down to the A to Z ranch. We had an awesome cottage with loft all to ourselves, enjoyed some great in room dining, couple massages and horse back riding all for an extremely reasonable price. Cant wait to go back here sometime in the future. read more

The A to Z Guest Ranch is a outdoors camp focusing on horse riding, located in the middle of the Kiamichi Mountains of southeast Oklahoma. They have campground space, along with a few lodges, ideal for medium (8-14 persons) size groups. The Ranch itself is set back from the main highway by about a mile and a half of gravel/dirt road. I point this out because if you show up on a motorcycle, it can be a little nerve-racking to negotiate that road. We had a group of about 20 riders show up for a weekend stay in the summer, and those that didn't have experience with gravel were pretty nervous about that road. We stayed at the Moose Lodge, which is one of the large cabins on the site. The cabin was clean and comfortable, and there were a lot of nice little extras, like free hot chocolate and microwave popcorn packets. Everything worked just fine, including the wireless internet access. Some folks had a little trouble getting a strong signal with their cell phones, but that was to be expected, considering the location. While our group was there to explore the area on motorcycles, the Ranch does offer rental horses if you want to explore the horse trails, including guided tours. I didn't take advantage of this, but another member of our group did, and said it was a lot of fun. read more

I took my girl scout troop for a long weekend and we had the best time in Moose Lodge! A to Z had everything I forgot and the beds were heaven! After roaming the grounds, playing in the creek bed, singing and roasting S'mores around the camp fire, riding horses, and catching frogs... it was so nice to come "home" to the cabin. It feels like home away from home. We love this place! I could not give it enough stars read more

I would highly recommend the A to Z guest ranch. My husband and I recently went for a romantic weekend getaway and we have nothing but amazing things to stay. We loved the 2 hour horseback ride, the cabin was beautiful and so peaceful, and did I mention the food? Holy molly! It was delicious. Tim and Christina went above and beyond to make our weekend perfect and their hospitality was incredible. We will definitely be going back in the future! read more

Awesome experience! The trail was adventurous, enjoyably rough and scenic! Definitely recommend!

Well worth the 40 mile drive from Beaver's Bend State Park! Took hour-long horseback riding through beautiful woods and through several streams. So quiet and great atmosphere. Kids enjoyed playing kickball with smart border collie named Buckaroo before and after the ride. Very good value for the price. Our children are ages 9 and 7 and both did well on gentle, well trained horses. The horses started trotting faster as we came back to camp because they knew it was treat time. Kids were giggling and said it was the best part of our camping trip. We tipped the guide well. Will def come back. read more

A to Z Guest Ranch - Gorgeous trail - Active Life Near Me - Smithville, Oklahoma

We had a great ride. Greta was awesome. The trails had beautiful creeks and fantastic scenery.

My boyfriend and I came here for a weekend getaway and loved the Longhorn cabin! We used a living social coupon we found online. The location is right next to a national forest and there are tons of trails to go down with the atv rental, on horseback, or on foot. Zondra owns this place with her husband and she makes amazing Belgian waffles! There is also a winery nearby that we'll probably explore on our next trip here. We'll definitely be back! The cabin was super cozy and the jacuzzi on the porch is great for stargazing. read more
