I think the ride out to the ranch from Steamboat Springs was actually longer one way then our…read moreentire time spent in the sleigh. We reserved a private sleigh ride recently and were a little disappointed with the length of our ride. Granted, all aspects of our trip out to the ranch were a very unique experience... but by the end of the night my fiancé and I had wished we had just gone on the sleigh with the entire rest of the group of people since there was hardly anything romantic about having 15 people trailing behind us and to eat dinner in a tepee with. If the ride had been completely private it could have potentially been worth the price, but I'm not sure. The staff is all very friendly and are great people, but in the end I felt like this was another one of those things you do on a vacation just to say you did it and not really for the memories.

Saw mule deer and elk just about every day. Was bow hunting for elk and not close enough for a shot. My guide Chance was great. Was a great elk experience. Lodging was above a barn. We got there early so we cleaned the place. Your close to the horses so smells like horse crap and flies everywhere. Room was good for four but can sleep 7-8. Would have been crowed with more. No screens on windows so you cant leave them open or youll be carried away by flies Never came to clean or refill toilet paper during stay You gotta love the rat trap in kitchen. Literally a rat trap on floor. And fly paper by the light that hasn't been changed in years. Breakfast was cereal. Lunch was self made sandwiches and dinners were cooked by guide ok but nothing to rave about Stairway out of barn was death trap with no light and shin splitting rebar sticking up at bottom of stairs. Owners were non existent except to collect check and say goodbye. I was thrown off horse. Never asked by owners how i was. My guide Chance should be sought after by other outfitters. Because he was way more skilled and professional then owners russ and mike. Recommend looking elsewhere for elk hunt.

The horses were great (incredibly fit, moved along at a fast pace through the roughest of territory, but safe and obedient) and Russ (company owner) and Clay (head wrangler on our trip) were very friendly and made sure that we had a good time. We rode in for about 4 -5 hours to a previously established base camp, with large tent, cots & mattresses, and then went on day rides and fishing from there. While I would not classify the base camp as luxurious (the company's focus is on hunters interested in getting into and around the backcountry, with the basecamp as a place to eat and sleep when not hunting) it was comfortable enough after a long day in the saddle, and the food was plentiful. If you love horseback riding and the wilderness, this is a great way to enjoy the two together!

We had a range of beginners to more experienced riders, and it was a blast for everyone. The weather, ranch, and the horses were perfect, and McCartney was a wonderful guide. She was so reassuring with one of our nervous riders, told us stories about the horse's personalities, and gave us recommendations for her favorite spots in town. She truly made the experience. We were the only group at the ranch, which made for a very personal feel. The ranch provided beverages for us after the ride to top it all off. Our entire group agreed that we would come back and ride with Saddleback Ranch again in a heartbeat. I don't think there's a better use of your money or time while you're in Steamboat!

We had first time riders who got lots of attention and patience, and we had more experienced riders in our group who were encouraged to ride off the trail and test new skills. Lots of attention paid to matching horse personalities with the riders. We had such a great time that we returned for a second day of riding with 3 of us doing the cattle drive (amazing experience) and the rest doing another trail ride. The whole experience was so laid back and fun. Feeding the orphaned calves, playing on the homemade Zipline, playing with the four adorable ranch dogs, and the great conversation with Ed, his kids, and his ranch hands were icing on the cake.

Spectacular. That's the first word that comes to mind when recounting our weekend stay at Brush…read moreCreek Ranch in Saratoga, Wyoming. Brush Creek Ranch (BCR) is an all-inclusive luxury ranch where elite accommodations, world-class cuisine, & activities abound. We drove to BCR from Denver and it took us about 4 hours to get there. If flying, the ranch is one hour from the Laramie Regional Airport or 3.5 - 4 hours from Denver International Airport (dependent on weather). Upon arrival on ranch property, we were escorted by a staff member to The Lodge. The staff at Brush Creek Ranch were exceptional in every way. Each one was committed to delivering a first-class experience and were eager to serve. Kayla was manning the concierge desk upon our arrival and seamlessly handled our check-in. Following check-in, we walked into The Lodge's great room and were immersed in a grandiose western homestead. From the antler chandeliers, massive exposed log beams to the impressive fireplace, we immediately had that vacation feeling of arriving somewhere special. Eddie unloaded our luggage from the car and put our bags in our room. We stayed in the Lupine room - a King Guest Room in The Lodge. The Lupine room was rustically-elegant, furnished with a king bed and located on the first floor of the lodge. The premium bedding was everything - the down pillows & comforter had us sleeping like babies every night. The room offered views of Wyoming's hills & the main lodge lawn area. The room had a Keurig and a full selection of Caribou coffee, hot chocolate & water. There were three gourmet dining experiences onsite at the ranch and let me tell you, this is some of the best food I have ever had. Each meal was sensational; I cannot say enough good things. During our stay we dined at Pioneer Kitchen, Trailhead Lodge, & the Cheyenne Club. For activities we went snowmobiling. All dining & activity reservations were made directly through & hosted by Brush Creek Ranch. Amenities at BCR included the Cattle Baron Library, fitness center, spa, saloon, great room, riding arena, & mountaintop decks. The Cattle Baron Library was a lounge with a stone fireplace, board games & television (1 of 3 onsite). This was a relaxing space to wind down before bed. The saloon encompassed everything you'd expect from a western saloon of the old American West. We walked through the doors and were met with a fully-stocked bar, a pool table, shuffleboard & more. We ate dinner at Pioneer Kitchen our first night at Brush Creek Ranch. Pioneer Kitchen is the resort's newest dining venue with an upscale-casual ambiance & wellness-forward menu. We arrived at Pioneer Kitchen and were seated in the main dining room. The aesthetic of the restaurant was airy and fresh with cream dining chairs, round chandeliers, & red backlit bar. General Manager, Cory and server Emma took great care of us during our meal. For Classic Cocktails I had the Sidecar. Ross had the Sage Advice which was a non-alcoholic mocktail. For Appetizers we had the Smoked Trout Dip and the Classic Caesar Salad. The Smoked Trout Dip was made with pickled onion, truffle and a side of potato chips. The dip was thick and creamy in texture with generous pieces of trout throughout. The smoked trout paired well with the cream cheese, fresh herbs, & salty chips. The Classic Caesar Salad was made with garlic croutons, grana Padano, and white anchovy. This Caesar salad was characterized by cold crisp greens, the nutty profile of the Padano cheese and briny vinegar of the white anchovy fillets. For Mains we had the Wagyu New York Strip and the Cedar Planked Ora King Salmon. The Wagyu New York Strip was served with lobster butter and crispy fingerlings. The Farm at Brush Creek raises American Wagyu; a rare breed of cattle that produces exceptional beef and reflects BCR's goals of sustainability. This was a phenomenal main all around. The Wagyu New York Strip was cooked to medium perfection. The meat was lean and high in protein. The strip had a natural, chewy texture and beefy flavor. The lobster butter was decadent and sexily melted into the wagyu making each bite so juicy. The crispy fingerling potatoes were the best fingerling potatoes I've ever had. Their thin skins were crisp and salted & gave way to a soft, fluffy potato interior. The Cedar Planked Ora King Salmon was served with wild rice and charred broccolini. The salmon had a light & creamy mouthfeel with an inherent sweet oil profile. For dessert we had the BCR Double Chocolate Brownie served with vanilla ice cream & topped with salted caramel sauce. The brownie came to the table piping hot in a skillet. The rich chocolate, buttery caramel and touch of vanilla made for heavenly bites. For a dessert cocktail I had the Brandy Alexander. The Brandy Alexander was made with Cognac, Creme de Cacao, Cream & Cinnamon. This retro brandy cocktail was indulgent yet easy to drink - chocolatey, creamy, & smooth.

It also made it easier to connect with and understand our horses to make the experience more enjoyable. HCT was otherwise fairly priced & reasonably understanding if customers are running late. The trails were beautiful and unique. The dogs running along with us were entertaining. I couldn't have asked for a better time! Note: They have a little outhouse on the side, but unless you're ok with those, be sure to use the bathroom before!
