    Archery Class!!

    I wish I could give 10 stars!! Greenhorn Dude Ranch is an outstanding family adventure! The staff members are amazing. Each of our activity guides was an expert in their field - knowledgeable, patient, and skilled at teaching us in our chosen event (fly fishing, skeet shooting, archery, etc.). The facilities are pristine and the food is excellent. The staff genuinely care about their guests and their teammates. Hands down this is one of the best family adventures I've ever had!!

    I can't say enough on how amazing Aya and the Greenhorn Ranch staff is! I planned a 4 day, 3 night trip for my company's offsite here. It was rescheduled from last October due to the Dixie Fire, but our 80 person group was so excited when we finally met, stayed, played and ate together at the Ranch. There was a bit of everything for everyone at all skill levels for the guided activities - horseback riding, skeet shooting, archery and electric biking. For those who weren't interested and unable to participate, there were lawn games like corn hole, fishing, people watching on the deck, pool, hiking and more! Food was served 3 meals a day at the same times. Each meal was so delicious! They even kicked off our first dinner with prime rib and ribs then a taco bar and finally spaghetti and meatballs. They hosted evening activities after dinner, which kept our group entertained. From live music, karaoke night and bonfire and s'mores, our group really enjoyed karaoke night, maybe a little too much. Aya and the staff went above and beyond for our group. From bringing a birthday cake and cupcakes to celebrate one of our employee's birthday to mowing down the lawn for a company ceremony we held that night, they truly understood what it meant to host such a special trip for us, without us even asking! Not to forget to mention, they even shuttled our employees from a hotel to the Ranch daily, multiple times a day. They were able to secure a larger vehicle to fit all 12 employees. If you're thinking of hosting a company offsite somewhere, look no further!

    I was lucky enough to get engaged at the Greenhorn last week. Not a single criticism comes to mind. The location, atmosphere, Airstream lodging, activities, saloon and food were all absolutely perfect. They do not miss a single detail. I not only felt like a guest while here, but we got to spend time with the staff and felt like family. The entire team knew about the surprise proposal and went above and beyond to make it a dream come true for me. We already miss everyone .... and especially Wiley and Irish. Heres to hoping for a Greenhorn wedding in the future;)

    We came for July 4th weekend and had a great family vacation! Everything was wonderful from the help and info planning our trip and every single staff member we interacted with. We had an amazing time horseback riding, skeet shooting, hatchet throwing and we even had the chance to go to a local July 4th rodeo. The wranglers were awesome and a ton of fun. They were so friendly and it was great that many hung out at dinner and the evenings. It's an amazing place where there's really a sense of community including with all the guests. We met so many wonderful families, some of which had been coming for almost 2 decades! There were many activities throughout the day including ping-pong, playing pool or swimming in the pool. Even karoake and line dancing in the evenings. The food was also great with a daily changing menu. We loved our time there, everyone we met was awesome and we really can see why families come back every year and we hope to as well!

    The greenhorn ranch was an interesting getaway to say the least. Where should I begin? Let's start with the room. For my beautiful wife and I we booked a creekside cabin suite. Not much of a suite that's for sure. Greenhorn Ranch website fails to state is that the suites are split and shared with other people. The walls are so thin we could hear the other people using the bathroom & showering and them having intercourse. Let's move on from the beyond terrible "suites" situation. The second day we booked E-bikes with a lady named Nicole. A beautiful blond girl with endless energy who loves being outdoors. Having her as our guide was the best part of our trip! She knew everyone and everything about the local area a true treat indeed! The E-bikes had the absolute worst seats on them and made the experience a lot less enjoyable. My wife booked a horseback ride in the afternoon and since I am a bigger person I could not ride the horses so I did the gold panning also with Nicole. My wife enjoyed her horseback time with sweat pea and I learned a lot about gold panning from Nicole. The afternoon was so much better than the morning E-bikes! That evening they had a paint and sip style event which was fun but for the price of being there one would think the alcohol would be included but it's not. They didn't have my favorite beer which was very disappointing. If you all out there are reading this and wondering what my favorite beer is it's obviously the Broken Skull Ranch 3:16 lager & IPA. The beer promoted by Stone Cold Steve Austin. If you all have not tried it I highly recommend it! Back to the review. I forgot to mention the food. Breakfast is absolutely amazing and very delicious! The waffles are obviously the best part of breakfast! Lunch was served it was ok nothing special and dinner was disastrous to say the least. Let me explain this one. Before you even show up at the ranch they send an email saying what are you allergic too and stuff like that. I made sure to put in capital letters so they would not miss it that I am allergic to all shellfish. So dinner comes around on the second night and what do they serve? That's right shellfish! They also had steak but they put them right next to each other with people using the same utensils to put them on their plates. Since I didn't want to have an allergic reaction I ended up having a cold bowl of cereal for dinner. Very disappointing indeed! That night they also had a fire with s'mores making. That was really enjoyable with the view of the lake it was a great evening indeed. The next day we had breakfast which was incredible once again. Then we packed up said our goodbyes to Nicole and everyone and we left. I am giving them 2 stars because of Nicole. She is awesome and highly recommended by my wife and I if you all go here. If it wasn't for Nicole this place would have been one and your done type of place. If Nicole ever reads this thank you for making everything a lot better!! You truly are awesome and made this experience a lot better that's for sure!

    The lodge main room includes a huge fireplace (that the staff makes nightly), a game room, and ample space to mingle with the other guests.

    Hurry...don't walk, run and book your stay. We are so sad to be leaving this beautiful and welcoming ranch! From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed. The team is amazing! Friendly, warm, and welcoming. Chef Brian and his culinary team whip up delicious and fresh meals daily (breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in your stay. Head wrangler Amelia and her team lead horseback rides through some of the best forest land in California. They but you at ease and you feel like your riding with old friends. I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is! We are definitely returning and staying longer.

    What an ABSOLUTELY wonderful place. Ideally you take "the long way" hwy 70 in during the afternoon for GORGEOUS scenic sun setting views up the canyon, windy but worth it as you go through fun tunnels like you're in Yosemite. Next Pass through the quiet quaint town of Quincy to stock up on any forgotten supplies and boom 10 minutes later you're at the ranch. First; Wonderful staff; nice happy and fun. Next; Clean well equipped facilities with amazing meals and peaceful environments with countless activities like horseback riding, guided electric bicycle tours on the miles of trails around the property, fishing right on the property! HEATED POOL! And much more. I've been here I believe 5 times now and every time it gets better as they're always adding more things to make it sweeter it seems. But This place is A MUST visit if you're a fan of peace, quiet, and nature but prefer the finer sides of life. They Even has a 220 plug right out front for my electric car to charge while I stay. Wifi for some movie downloads. A Stocked! fridge with all alternative variations of milks for oatmeal / coffee - fresh fruits! I could go on and on but I don't want to sound scripted here. But seriously 5 star. Get out and enjoy this place you WILL NOT regret it. Great for the family or romantic getaways.

    Views from the saloon!

    Wow!!!! This place is truly special!!! We held our family company meeting here for 5 nights and Greenhorn knocked of out of the park! The FOOD! Is AMAZING! Every meal! They catered to my picky 6 year old eater too! The staff! Jacob is the best guide on bikes, on trails, on slip'n'slides! You name it! The staff was overly friendly and helpful! They made us all feel at home! There was always something fun to do from ages 6-80!! Next, the views! Gorgeous views! The sounds from the creek that flows through the property lull you to sleep at night. Nicole was an amazing host and beautiful singer! Kaiya and Elizabeth were great with the littles, especially my wild one! During down time we all swam in the pool with views! The pool was always clean and the staff helped us set up a volleyball. It's going to be really hard to leave today! We have made lifelong memories on this trip! I HIGHLY recommend visiting Greenhorn Ranch!

    Is there any issues with rodents in the rooms? I know that's common at the ranches and I'm scared of mice?

    Never saw a rodent or dropping anywhere. But foxes are outside to take down the population.

There were no lights available in the building, including no visible emergency lighting, and the elevators were not working. Our room was originally on the second floor, but because I have knee problems and cannot easily use stairs, the night staff member was very kind and helped us by finding a room on the ground floor. I truly appreciated her professionalism and willingness to help during a difficult situation. What left a negative impression was the interaction at checkout the next morning. Instead of acknowledging the inconvenience caused by the power outage, I felt as though we were expected to be grateful for being placed in a different room because it happened to be one of the resort's nicer accommodations. To be clear, the room change was necessary because of the resort's power issue, not a special favor. While the property itself remains beautiful, the lack of emergency lighting and the response from the front desk the following morning raise concerns about both guest safety and customer service. Unfortunately, after this experience, I'm not sure I would choose to stay here again. If this was other hotel chain I will be even refunded because the inconveniences!!

The rats were living under the fridge and when we moved it to the side, there it was! A passage and droppings all over the floors. She then said, "well, you are in nature!"

The grounds are kept very nice and there is a beautiful overlook in the back. The cabins have little patios and common areas to hangout with the other guests. They have an office that has free movies to borrow, board games, Menus for the restaurants and more. Walking into our cabin we were totally in awe. It was so homey and we were instantly comfortable. The cabin is decorated really well and has everything you can possibly need including a kitchen, utensils, plates and cups, hot coffee, a microwave, a fridge, and more. Our bed was really comfortable, the temperature was easily changed, we didn't notice any outside noise and we just had an absolutely amazing time. I can't wait to come back.

We arrived around 10pm with two exhausted kids only to find literal sh** left in the toilet, a room that smelled like it, dirty bed sheets, and a broken iron and ironing board. We requested a room change, but were told none were available. We were promised our room would be cleaned first thing the next morning. It wasn't. After spending the morning at the pool, we came back around 3:30 p.m. and our room still hadn't been serviced. We have two young kids, including a toddler who needed a nap, so we actually had to use our friend's room to shower and put our little one down because ours wasn't ready until almost 7 p.m. The next day, the same thing happened. We were then told housekeeping only services rooms if you call and request it. I've traveled a lot and have never heard of that, especially when you're automatically charged a daily housekeeping fee here. To top it off, the pool was unexpectedly closed for maintenance in the middle of the day after we had rented an umbrella, and valet took 55 minutes to bring our car at checkout after we were told it would be about 10 minutes. There seemed to be a new issue every single day. This experience was incredibly disappointing. We won't be back.

John and Jamie were incredible hosts. They shared with us that the resort is under new ownership and told us about some of the improvements they have already made. For our first time being there, it was the perfect getaway and exactly what we needed. The cabin was cozy, clean, and very comfortable. It had multiple TVs, including one in the dining/living area and one in the bedroom, a full kitchen, and honestly one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Anything we needed, John and Jamie were there to help and made sure we had a great experience. Our weekend getaway was peaceful, relaxing, and a great time away from home. We are already planning to go back in the next couple of months and hope to make it a regular trip for us.
