Omg! This place was the perfect get away for relaxing and destressing. You can either rent a room…read moreor camp onsite. There are different fees for either option. You can cook your own food on their grills or pay for food. The have a food hall in which everyone who orders food come together and eat. The breakfast costs $8 and dinner $15. They also have snacks, drinks and ice for sale. What I loved the most was the night sky. I can't begin to describe how MAGNIFICENT the skyblooked at night. You could see the Milk Way's glow! There were so many shooting stars that I lost count. The reason I gave this place a 4 was because of the particular situation that happened that night. The ranch has rules that says lights and music are to be turned off at 10 pm. There was a family that did not respect the rules and keep their private party going until 4 am. They were politely asked to turn down their music and keep in mind the other guests at the ranch. They ignored the guests requests and continued on with their racket. Unfortunately the ranch's staff did not tell them anything that night. The staff was made aware of the situation the next morning, but by then it was too late as most of the guests didn't get a good night sleep and had to continue driving. Even with this particular situation I would consider going back because the night sky with all its glory is worth the drive!

Had we come at a time when more guests were staying, we may have had a different experience. Rancho…read moreMeling is very well known regionally and has a fascinating history and is in a peerless setting. We stayed in small, rustic quarters heated only by a fireplace (which got very smoky). There is limited electricity. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My husband ordered a tomahawk steak from cattle grown on the ranch for dinner one night and he enjoyed it. Otherwise the food was fine but not exceptional. The draw is the wilderness. If you were going on to the national park, this would be a great place to stop. As a stand-alone destination it was interesting but I feel no need to return.
