    A horse
    Rebecca N.

    Long 2-hour ride with more liberty than other places but maybe that's why helmets are mandatory. Don't match one of our riders with right horse. Trail girls are very sweet and very kind.

    The ride was fantastic! Our guide, Pedro, was the best! We had a great time and will be back with more friends!

    Loved this ranch!! Especially appreciate the incredibly surroundings & fact that you can ride according to your skill-level, or trot or ride side-by-side. Our guide Viv was wonderful, as were our well-natured horses. I highly recommend this ranch over all others in Colorado.

    On the trail family friendly! Great for all ages!!!

    It was just amazing to take the family out for a 1hr 30min horse back riding tour. It was wonderful scenic area we road through with Aspens, small rock formations, a beautiful stream and wide open meadows. We made our way on horse back through a meadow where we found a doe with her two fawns. We also heard Elk bugling in the distance. It was just an awe inspiring horse back ride. Our guide Pedro was extremely friendly and informative. He led us to an old home stead that was from the 1800s. He made us all feel comfortable and safe. He took a lot of amazing pictures for us as well. We all really enjoyed his stories and his warm demeanor. It was just a magical family experience; they had us ride side by side and not in a line which is unique. They also have goats, alpacas and chickens on the ranch as well. I highly recommend taking a horse back tour.

    Absolutely amazing time! Refreshing to not have to ride nose to butt like other ranches and see some rescues have an amazing home. Luke and Chuck were extremely hospitable. Luke was our guide and he was filled with great stories and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be back for more!

    My family and I can here for horseback riding and ATV riding. It definitely did not disappoint. The scenery was amazing. The paths they took us on for both rides were awesome. Our guides, Chuck and Chaz, were extremely friendly and informative and the horses great. No fast riding due to the terrain but it wasn't an issue. Just enjoying the beautiful scenery around you was well worth the reasonable price we made. If you are in Colorado, and near Fairplay, this is a must!!

    Our tour guide, Ella, guiding us down a mountain.

    Had a great experience here today! Visited Breckenridge late October and this was one of the only year round horseback riding in the area. 45 mins from breck. Our tour guide, Ella, was such an educated, fun, exciting guide and I'm glad we got her! The horses are also very well trained!!

    Went today with friends and family and had a blast! Chuck and Has were great guides! They made the experience memorable.

    Absolutely beautiful!

    My wife and I had an amazing ride with Big Haus aka future owner! We can't express enough his teaching and enthusiasm for his horses. He loves them like children. This was no nose to butt ride. He blazed some new trails since we had some more experienced riders. Weather was great, company with my wife celebrating 23 years too. Well worth the ride! The 2 hr ride was even cheaper than Breck Stables plus a half hour more ride. Bingo! Go to American Safari Ranch. We'll be back! For all the negative reviews sorry. Be patient hopeful the future owner Haus will turn it around.

    This review is specifically for Chuck and not the owner. Before coming to the ranch we had called earlier in the morning and the owner told us to go to another ranch instead. After that interesting start we had Chuck and Haus help us get on the horses and it started raining so they let us borrow some of their jackets because we forgot our own. Chuck was awesome the entire tour, he helped us become comfortable with the horses and showed us cool things along the way. Highly recommend going horseback riding here, just ignore the bad service from the owner. The views were amazing, the horses were so smart and almost just did everything on their own, you stayed in a group but were able to go on different trails and explore while still near everyone.

Based on that information, we felt comfortable doing so during our stay. By our third day, she began putting up signs and continued to harass us, stating, "This is the last time I will tell you," even though we had already explained that we were acting based on guidance from the front desk. What made this especially uncomfortable was that we felt singled out, and the repeated confrontations came across as targeted and discriminatory, raising serious concerns about possible racial bias. Clear communication between staff and respectful treatment of guests are essential. Unfortunately, this ongoing behavior overshadowed our experience and reflects poorly on the hotel's customer service standards. I hope management addresses both the inconsistency in policy communication and the lack of professionalism shown.

We've had mixed experiences with boutique hotels, but this is an example of one done well. It's conveniently located downtown on Main Street (upstairs) and is a perfect way to either visit the city, or enjoy a night while passing through. The front desk is virtual in the form of text messaging, which we had zero issue with getting our room code and to check out, and we found they responded to our inquiry about parking promptly. The parking lot is off of Railroad street in a public lot that we had zero issues with. The electronic locks for the rooms took a moment to understand, but worked fine to lock/unlock the room. (Hint: Double tap the logo and the keypad appears). Though the pricing can be a bit expensive, it seems in line with what you can expect to pay in mountain towns. Overall, our stay at The Inn left us with the feeling that we got what we paid for, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Plenty of parking close by. Nice decore, plenty of hot water and good bathroom. Sent text 2 days prior to visit. No response. Directions didn't say that door needed to be locked electronicaly when you left the room. For first 24 hrs I couldn't get the door to lock. I was told that the doors needed adjustment. The safe in the room was already locked when I arrived. Was told they couldn't find the key fob to open it. Took a day to fix. New toilet had 3 or 4 problems. Installed incorrectly. I fixed a few of the issues to keep it from sticking but still could use some work. I didn't have any noise issues. The restaurant below closes at 9pm. I stayed 3 nites and was hiking most days and going to bed at 8-9pm. The mattress and pillows were fantastic as well as well functioning A/C and a good ice machine. There are no dressers in the room. Not even luggage stands. You Have to work out of your luggage from the floor. Not good for this level of Inn. No usable chair in the room. There was one "sling" chair that was not easy to sit on and zero back support. I like a chair to read. I don't like to have to sit in the bed whenever I used the room. I sat in the chair to put on my socks and boots and the chair tipped over and my forehead struck the edge of the bed leaving a half inch cut. Minimal blood. Trash, trash, trash!!!! There was one trash can located in the bathroom and no place to empty trash. Hydrate, hydrate. I used a case of water and 16 bottles of Gatorade. Nowhere to put the empty bottles. There are 25 steps to to rooms. I am athletic older man. It was painful to carry multiple 40 lb. suitcases and packs up those stair. The Inn did send me a text...... on the last day, asking what they could do to improve my stay. To little too late. I have been gone for 4 days. I had expected the INN to reach out to me personally about my issues. I expect the owner to respond to this review. That is all u can expect for service during you stay.... The perfunctory virtual response. This place has potential but alot to learn about hospitality. I sincerely wish them luck.

    What's not to love? Not sure I even want to share this place…read morewith anyone else who might not appreciate it, but I hv benefitted from it and I hope this helps others find it as well. My friend brought me here, saying, if I'm going to try any hostel, anywhere in the world, it should be here or his other favorite - in Wales. It is a gorgeous autumn in Colorado, so Breckinridge it is. How incredibly fortunate for me that my first hostel was here. I'm constantly reminded that not every hostel is so nice. What a lovely place. Well appointed, so clean - which is all important in this pandemic time. Everyone is friendly. We stayed in a 6-bunk room with a total 4 ppl in it. The less agile (that'd be me) was lucky to get a lower bunk (not sure how that works, we lucked out that not all the berths were full!) The other two ppl were solo travelers, one from South America, the other from Russia. They were friendly and polite. We all did our own thing; I crashed out early, so I wasn't bothered at all that another guest had to pack luggage for an early flight out the next day. There are outlets at each bunk, even USB chargers And a lamp which was a necessity when hvg to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I thought the room was comfortable; temps got down into the 30's overnight but I was comfortably cozy in my bed with its duvet; there were extra blankets in the closet if needed. My friend thought it too warm but he runs that way, but he slept thru the night fine too. A word about the bedding: mine was fine, clean, smelled clean. But one of the other bunks had yellowed bedding - with stains. I presume it was washed and cleaned just looked used, and if you got there in daylight or with all the lights on, one would hv seen it, but I didn't till the next morning when we were getting ready to leave and that might've bn off putting. I came down early, just before sunrise The general areas were at a comfortable temp. Wasn't time yet for breakfast, but some kind soul had already started the coffee. I went for a walk, took some pix, came back once guests had started to straggle in. What a friendly, informative bunch! My friend tells me that's most hostel-goers. And the food was pretty good, pancakes, eggs, cereal; I got the oatmeal and an English muffin. The coffee smelled really good. And I was so happy they had powdered hot chocolate too! Special mention must be made of Belage (sorry, may hv misspelled) but he is a welcoming, knowledgeable host and made us feel at home. If you come here, please contribute positively. I worry that the wrong sort would detract from such a lovely accommodation and experience. And yeah, I'll hv to keep in mind that almost certainly other hostels aren't like this, but it is now my gold standard.
