Don't go to the Van Eden Ranch
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/2/11
The scenery is beautiful, There were questionable people coming in and out, This place was filthy. The kitchen was a mess, I was surprised I did not see any rats, but I am sure they are there. I would never go back there. I am surprised the heath departmetn has not shut them down.

Wonderful experience!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/29/10
The family of the ranch and staff will bend over backwards to make sure your time spent there is comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable! My son and I always have great experiences when we go there!

Great horse back ride
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/18/10
I have never had a horseback ride with snow on the ground, the guide was very helpful and the scenery was awesome, Needed a 4 wheel drive to get up the road, the lodge looked like it was under construction and I didn't stay the night

Filthy
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/28/07
This place could have been nice. However, the owner was drunk, the place was filled with broken down vehicles and trash, the horses are mistreated. We would never go back. The worst thing was the kitchen!! Ugg.

Great place!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/27/07
The location is awesome. The food was great. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The owners are very friendly and accomodating. tuck. The owners went out of their way to help us - they prepared dinner and helped us get a van out of the snow. I strongly recommend Van Eden. Elisabeth

SLEAZE
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/7/06
I have been to Van Eden and I can say that the prior owners were great and gracious people. The new owner whose husband was killed by his ranch hand whom he went to town for revenge and ended up with the gun he took was the one that killed him. When I was there there were dead horses laying around and the place was very unkempt.It could be a great place but I believe the Flemings just don't have the money to make it a great B&B.

Don't go to this place!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/11/05
We stayed here for two nights. The road in is bad and when we got there no one was around. It is a beautiful location, but they built a real eyesore on the property. This has got to be the oddest place I have ever stayed. The rooms were pretty clean, but our toilet ran and the sink clogged up - also no hot water most of the time. The rest of the place was filthy, particularily the kitchen. There were lots of strange people that came and went which made me worry about our safety. James was as helpful as he could be, but there were just so many problems. The back door opened onto a "balcony" with no railing and an awful drop if you fell. The whole place smelled odd. I would consider it very unsafe for children and not too safe for adults. The only good thing was the horsebackriding. We will never stay there again.

Wish it was Cleaner
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/8/05
I wish the place would have been clean. That would have made all the difference. I went to check it out as a place to bring a couple of families and thers is no way my sister in law or wife could handle it being that unclean. Which is really too bad because it could be a awsome place to go. Hope they clean it up!
