It is very sad to see how the recent changes and management and staff have affected the overall experience. We rented one of the on-site cabins for two days that allowed pets. What animal which animals Shortly, after the checkout, the cleaning lady that came by told our our 85-year-old Aunt, who was sitting outside the cabin reading, that she would have to move and could not wait there while the others finished walking the dogs. In addition, on top of the $75 pet deposit we were charged another $282 ($250+tax and fees)because they did not feel the cabin was left as it should be. I asked that they show me what the problems were and they showed me the following: 1. There was a small dog piddle by the front door more like an excited leak. 2. There were some water droplets on some of the dishes that were cleaned and put away. 3. There were some paw prints, not muddy just very slight barely noticeable on one of the bedding covers.I only wish I could attach the pictures of what was shown. There's just not a place in this email. The charges were so petty. A person I spoke with in the industry, suggested that this might be one of the means for gaining additional income. the pet deposit was more than adequate for these minor items.

Plastic on meat and fat shows their ignorance about health and toxicity, as the plastic gets absorbed by the meat, especially the fat. All the pieces were horribly cut, and most of them went to the dogs. What a waste. These people need to go learn how to cut meat. Raising cattle in a healthy manner is not sufficient, you need to know how to cut it properly. Will never order anything again. Very costly dog food!

Wow! I thought I couldn't buy perfect meat. Grass fed has always been important, but most ranches…read moredon't finish the cattle with grass. Here we are grass fed AND grass finished! On a ranch down the street from my house from people I like! It is the best meat of my life. I feel good and it tastes good. My favorite regular item is their breakfast sausage. However, when I feel like splurging and I want to be real good to myself, I get a filet....oh oh oh. But really a largest part of why I love this food is just because I have studied meat and cattle and the nutrition that cows get from grass. Grass is packed with nitrilosides, which I receive as nutrients when I eat of a healthy animal. You don't have to go any further than "Food Inc" to see why cows shouldn't be fed corn and grains. Thank you Ernesto for staying true to what is best for your cows which in turn is best for us who eat from your boutique ranch. I appreciate that you are a rancher. You are doing exactly what I would do if, I could be a rancher. Thank you

Instead of a flight, I went with a couple of glasses recommended by staff and they were spot on! Took the wine outside to sit in an Adirondack chair in the shade by the little creek and just relaxed. And then a musician started up on the porch and he was great! Very chill and just added to the relaxing vibe. Lots of seating options here, inside and outside. Wine is really good. A pond with a fountain and another fountain that feeds into a bubbling creek really add to the atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Foothills Ranch Horseback Riding in Mayer, Arizona, deserves every bit of praise I can give. From…read morethe moment I first spoke with the owner, Phyliss, I knew we were in good hands. She was flexible, accommodating, and genuinely committed to making our adventure special. I brought my two grandchildren along, and they had an absolutely wonderful time. The horses themselves were beautiful, healthy, and easy to ride--clearly well cared for and well trained. Our ride through the Prescott National Forest was nothing short of spectacular. As we followed Big Bug Creek and made our way deeper into the forest, both Phyliss and Janice shared an incredible wealth of knowledge. Their understanding of horses, combined with their deep appreciation for the area's history, made the experience unforgettable. We learned about the region's gold mining past, Native American history, early settlers, and even the geology, plant life, and wildlife that make this part of Arizona so unique. It was an education wrapped inside the best trail ride we've ever been on. Foothills Ranch offers far more than a simple horseback ride--it's a meaningful, memorable experience led by people who truly love what they do. I can't recommend it highly enough. Jim H

The nice guy on the other end explained that the meat was in freezers, in the back of the saddle shop, which was next door to the print shop. My first suggestion for Lazy 5S: create a big sign saying something like, "LAZY 5S MEATS INSIDE!" - otherwise I would never have found it with GPS alone. I bought a huge tenderloin, and I have to say it was the juiciest, tastiest filet mignon I had ever experienced in my life. Amazing! Unfortunately for me, I live in Brooklyn NY - but the moment Lazy 5S becomes available the way Omaha Steaks are [they're just "OK"] - I will be first in line to order!

This is the highest quality grass fed beef I could find in the area. Apparently quality matters because with no change in my diet protocol other than the source of meat, I had significant improvement after just one week of eating it daily. It's the first time since I got hit with this condition that I've had any improvement at all so this is huge. I bought a quarter of a cow and picked it up at the ranch. After seeing the lush green pastures that the cows graze on and the cleanliness of the operation, including supplementation and even how the cows are treated, it all made sense. This is not just dinner, it's therapy. Since then, I have continued to improve and honestly believe that this highly nutritious beef is the foundation for my healing. It's not only the highest quality, but it's also the best tasting beef I've ever had. I have so much gratitude for the integrity and the heart that goes in to this beef...worth every penny.
