Unforgettable Experience!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/8/07
This is my first day back at work after my vacation, and I can't quit raving about the Brush Creek Ranch.
We arrived late afternoon, to a tour of the ranch and a cocktail at the saloon. Later, we were treated to an enormous meal of beef noodle soup, ham and baked yams, with warm blueberry cobbler for desert. We then finished the evening by the fire place in the library adjacent to the dining room.
We awoke in our rustic cabins complete with original, turn of the century, wood floors and log walls, to a fresh blanketing of snow. Upon arrival in the dining room we found a plate of sliced melon and a loaf of fresh banana bread, with a pot of hot coffee and a carafe of O.J. We were served breafast burritos, and were given an ample sack lunch for the trail.
After snowmobiling for the day, we returned to the ranch. A short 20 mile drive to Saratoga awarded us with a relaxing soak in the natural hot spring "Hobo Pool". After another delicious meal of chicken and mashed potatos, we spent the night playing games in the saloon.
Next morning, another awesome breakfast, fuel up the sleds, and off to the trails. The riding in the Snowy Range is amazing. All day riding on fresh powder, in places that seemed untouched. If you like to ride, this is the place to be. Trail riding is excellent with boondocking available anywhere you are.
Returning to a steak diner with fresh bread, and a bottle of wine by the fire, I couldn't believe it was almost over.
After packing the truck to leave, we settled in for our final meal at the Brush Creek Ranch. Eggs, Sausage, and American fries. They gave us a bag of cookies for the ride, and we were off.
If you can't tell, I enjoyed the stay more than I can possible convey in this review. The food was delicious, the portions enormous, and the staff was very welcoming and accomidating. The decor was that of an authentic operating ranch, and the scenery was breathtaking.
Thank you to everyone at the Brush Creek Ranch, especially little Thomas, for making our stay better than I could have possibly imagined. I will be returing again and will be recommending the Brush Creek Ranch to everyone.
