We aren't horse people and cannot offer an opinion on the stables, etc.

Stayed Feb 2011 I…read morereally don't know if I can say enough good things about Vista Verde. The experience here was amazing and I can't believe that I'm the first Yelper to review them. The ranch staff were all outgoing and friendly at all times, often stopping to try and meet you if you were a guest that they didn't recognize. Multiple parties through our week long stay were repeat visitors and the regular staff knew them by name. Classes and outings of various types are offered with many having daily schedules (for horse riding lessons) friendly to all skill levels. Select events are available only a few or single times in a week so make sure to check with the staff if you're interested in anything specific during your stay. My group went for the dog sledding in the winter and it was an amazing trip but you do need to grab an appointment early for it! Food selection here was unbelievable. A fully staffed kitchen with a professional chef prepare every meal for all guests at specific times. If your activity plans will have you away from the ranch, they even offer to bag a lunch for you! The meal courses generally offered three to five main course selections with a normal two to three appetizer and desert run. Multiple wine pairings are suggested with each dinner for those interested but not experienced in selection. There were also multiple bottled beers to choose from. A regular selection of soft drinks, juices, and such could also be obtained. The waitstaff were just as friendly as the activity guides and by the end of the week there were even guessing at what we would prefer to order. A unique touch of the ranch is buffet night when the staff dines with you (All of them! Normal meals they may ask to sit with your table just to talk or even join for the meal) and some bring family in as well. Overall it makes for a very comfortable and friendly environment. The lodging was impressive to say the least. Multiple cabins are scattered around the lodge area and rooms (three) may be available within the main lodge itself. Most of the staff stays on site within their own cabins too so if you're hanging out in the lodge on music night, they're just a short walk from 'home' like you so cheer and hoot for that encore (they're rather talented musicians as well)! Housekeeping visits each cabin multiple times a day for room makeup service and turn-down service in the evening. They also have request forms if there are special things that you may be looking for in the fridge while you're there (fees may apply). Wi-Fi is available but keep in mind you're in the middle of the wilderness here so leave that laptop at home instead of showing it to the TSA. Cell service is also very spotty. If you absolutely must stay connected a land line phone and public laptop are available in the lodge for guest use if required. I don't plan on making Vista Verde a one stop vacation and would bet that anyone else would say the same after staying.

It is perfect for those who want to unplug from the world. While there is WiFi and connectivity in the lodge, once you wander the extensive grounds, there's no cell phone service. A boon to those of us who are over connected.

There's a restaurant and the food is delicious. We got all the appetizers and the chicken tenders are fantastic. I believe they are made with dill and it's amazing. The restaurant/ bar has limited hours, and they have live music also. There is a local store within a mile in case you need any last-minute supplies.

A lot of it comes down to how you use your ownership. We love ours, and it has more than paid for itself over the years. We recently stayed at the Sheraton Steamboat Resort Villas in a one-bedroom villa with a full kitchen, living room, and plenty of space to relax. The accommodations were comfortable, cozy, and perfect for an extended stay. One of the best things about this resort is the location. Once you park your car, you really don't need to drive again until it's time to leave unless you're planning to explore the surrounding area. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance, along with plenty of mountain activities and attractions nearby. The resort itself offers a full schedule of daily activities through its event calendar, an activities room, and access to the restaurant and bar located in the main hotel. There is always something to do whether you're visiting for a few days or an entire week. While the villas are still very nice, it's probably not too far off from needing a refresh and some updates. That said, everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained during our stay. This is a fantastic destination for both winter skiing and summer mountain adventures. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return.

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.

The food for dinner room service was fairly lackluster, however the breakfast buffet was nice and filled us up. The main reason for taken off a star was because of the horrible bus. I left with almost 15-20 bug bites after just one day there. Definitely need to put in some bug safeguards like lavender or citronella plants. The bites lasted for weeks and tainted the experience. Overall 4/5 stars.

But I do enjoy coming here for lunch. I usually go to the bar section of the place in which they have their own craft beer. The lunches are good and have hearty portions. And often my visits can have an exhaustive nature to them so escaping to this bar which is fairly quiet during the day for a pint is very nice. Getting a craft beer pint reminds me of where I live now where defaulted beer that everyone associates with beer drinking isn't the norm. It's been a while since I have had an evening meal here but I recently have had their breakfast buffet which is very nice. The food is nice and fresh and flavorful! Last year my father passed away and we did a private catering event in the dining room which was very nice. They got us in on very short notice and the event went quite smoothly. The organizer was extremely helpful and organized and laid out all the options for the event we were needing to do after the funeral. So that went quite smoothly. I am not sure when my next visit back will be but if it's a trip of a recreational and casual nature I will definitely stop by the bar for a pint of beer!
