I went to Rafters Six Ranch as part of a staff retreat. We were there for one day only. Our activities included the cowboy college which I found a little immature for 40 adults but imagine kids would love it. We also took part in a mini rodeo which was fun for all involved. We had lunch, bison burger buffet,... More

What a great place to spend a quite weekend away from all the big city distractions. Staff are very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. Meals are great. The 2 hour Ride and walks made for a fantastic and memorable weekend.

Rafter Six Ranch is definitely not for everyone, but if it's for you, you will love it! You pay for the views. The rooms are basic and there is no phone or tv, but why would you be hanging out in your room when you could be horseback riding through the rocky mountains or traversing a ropes course high up...

Felt like part of the family. Trail ride is a must. Lots of horses, dogs, and cowboys -- and a couple of wolf pups. Don't forget to check out the white buffalo. I will definitely be back. It felt like coming home. A little pricey but the staff made up for it. Meals are excellent and huge portions.

We had an awesome weekend. We couldnt of asked for a better place for a reunion. It was Very Rustic but it is a Ranch. Some of us went river rafting, ziplining, horseback riding, played pool and horse shoes. We got together every nite and and had a fire which was a social event.. And even some of the westcoasters...

I was extremely dissappointed when looking forward to a "dude ranch" experience to find the facilities run down and unsanitary. We had a cabin booked for 5 days, when we arrived the stove was filthy and fridge leaked water; we had to request they clean up the mouse feces in the washer/dryer area (like a porch) and we decided to...

we spent 3 days (2 nights) there over the weekend.. and although the staff was nice, some had a difficult time with English. The rooms were... plain would be polite. Ours had mould on the bedframe, and the sheets had what looked like oil stains on them. The bathroom was not as clean as what I would expect from accomodations...... More

we stayed as a family of 4 in the main lodge. The room was very basic and the bathroom was exceptionally poor. Not great value for money as the accomodation was so shoddy and jaded, but we still had a good time as the food was OK, the location was superb, the service was good and friendly and the white...

A friendly, family run hotel. We visited with two teenage children who enjoyed the experience. We stayed in the main lodge, a family room. I wasn't impressed, a small, dirty, bad quality room with a tiny, smelly bathroom. We had to share beds because the hotel failed to take in our request. The food was average, but well served with...
