    Horses need to be rescued from this "rescue". Horses stalls are knee deep with manure and they lie about their animals.

    1000 Acres Ranch Resort - Another view from Elk run cabin porch

    1000 Acres Ranch Resort

    This is a beautiful and peaceful property! You could sit on the deck all day with not a worry in…read morethe world. We went there specifically for the horseback riding. The people at the barn were very friendly and helpful. The trails could have been a little clearer, but it was still an enjoyable ride. There are many other activities you could do, like kayaking, hiking, ziplining, jungle rope, three pools, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, and more. The main lodge was a log cabin, with beautiful views and a couple of fireplaces. I had expected the decor inside to be more rustic (Yellowstone-ish), but some areas were not, which was a little disappointing. The food was nicely presented and delicious. But the time it took from ordering to actually getting the food was very long. The meals, I thought, were pricey for what you got. Also, there are two different menus. Ours was the same 3 or 4 entrees for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner for the entire 4-day stay. We went off the property for a couple of meals to have something different. There is a gift store on the property, which is in great need of a facelift. The people who work there were very nice and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Check-in and check-out were easy.

    We recently stayed at The 1000 Acre Ranch, and unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing…read morevacations our family has ever taken. We visited this resort many times when we were kids and had wonderful memories, but this trip made us wish we had left those memories in the past. For the amount of money we paid, the experience was unacceptable. The food was terrible. There was very little variety, and it felt like we were eating frozen TV dinners every night. Chicken was served repeatedly, the quality was poor, and there were almost no appealing options. The pools were disgusting. One of them had a massive clump of hair floating in it, which completely turned us off from swimming. Cleanliness throughout the property seemed to be a major issue. The horseback riding was another huge disappointment. Our family consists of experienced riders, yet every ride was restricted to walking only. There was no effort to accommodate different experience levels, making the rides incredibly boring. To make matters worse, the trail guides and trainers came across as rude and unfriendly. The rooms were equally disappointing. One of our family's rooms had so much mouse droppings that housekeeping had to come back and clean it again. Finding mouse poop in a room you're paying premium prices for is completely unacceptable. Overall, this resort feels like a shadow of what it once was. It has become an overpriced tourist trap that no longer delivers the quality or experience it advertises. We left feeling ripped off and extremely disappointed. Save yourself the money and book somewhere else. We certainly won't be returning.

    Pond Hill Ranch - Horseback riding

    This is a review of the rodeo at Pond Hill Ranch, held on Saturday nights each week for ten weeks…read morein the summer. It was an enjoyable rodeo with a variety of events, skilled competitors, an announcer who continually explained what was going on, and a friendly crowd of all ages including well-behaved children. On the night we went, the events included bull riding, calf roping, barrel racing, and a ranching event that I'd never seen elsewhere. In the ranching event, a trailer was driven onto the field, a team of three cowboys on horseback had to single out a tagged cow from the herd and lasso it, the cowboys had to convince the lassoed cow to get into the trailer, then they had to persuade one of their horses to do the same, and after securing the trailer's rear gate they had to pile into the truck and honk the horn to stop the timer. As the announcer explained, this event was designed to replicate real elements of a working ranch, and the competitors were professional cowboys doing ranch work at Pond Hill full-time. The bleachers filled up with about 1000 spectators, so we were glad we arrived early because there was no assigned seating, but even people who arrived after the start of the event found places to sit. There were concession stands with typical fairground food, but we didn't try any because we brought a picnic dinner. There were no picnic tables, so we ate in the grassy parking area before the event, but most people ate in the bleachers. There were several port-a-johns, though for a crowd this size ideally there should have been twice as many, and there was also a shop selling horse tack, cowboy apparel, and similar items. The seating was in open-air bleachers with no protection from rain or sun, so fortunately the weather was ideal when we went. The parking in the grassy fields went smoothly, guided by two cowboys on horseback directing each car where to park, and the departing traffic after the rodeo flowed pretty smoothly as well, helped by the fact that the spectators were a courteous crowd. This was a wholesome, family-friendly event and a wonderful reminder that America's ranching and cowboy heritage is found nationwide, not just out West.

The adults regretted not tagging along. In August we also attended the rodeo and everyone had an amazing time. The community was so welcoming and the rodeo was very well organized. We will be back often.
