Niobrara River Ranch has got to be one of the best places I've stayed in. The river and the view are spectacular . Lee's cabins have million dollar views. I loved them! I will definitely be going more often. He's got some pictures on his website, but I'm telling you the real thing is way way better. Anyways here is... More

All the years we have been going to the Niobrara River the best times have been staying at the Niobrara River Ranch cabins. They are beautiful cabins with wonderful views of the river valley, but they are cabins out in the country. Any problems with anything Lee and his group have been great and are super people to be with.... More

I have been canoeing the Niobrara River, east of Valentine, for over a decade. Each year our group gets larger and larger. We absolutely love it. It is such beautiful country; you will forget you are in Nebraska. If you are a Nebraska native, you should definitely make the trip. The water is clear, fed from underground springs. There are...

We just spent 2 1/2 days riding our horses at NRR, We thought it was great. We met Lee and he was curtious and talkative. Was very friendly to us. His hired hand was the niced man I have met in a long long time. The bathroom accomidations were a little rough but the place is a work in progress... More

Our stay at the Niobrara River Ranch near Valentine Nebraska was very quiet and relaxing. We liked the cabin and accomodations were top notch. The owner named Lee ...? stopped by and made sure we had everything we needed. We ran out of firewood on the second day and he brought us another load within an hour of calling him.... More

I can't believe anyone would "bad mouth" the Niobrara River Ranch. We have had several teacher groups during Winter and Summer months and Lee has bent over backwards to insure our stay. Our cabin was clean and all items needed for our stay were supplied. He brought stacks of wood each evening for the stove and the open camp fire.... More

My husband, myself, and two other couples spent 3 days camping in tents at the Niobrara River Ranch. I read the other reviews and decided I would still check it out on my own and l don't regret it at all! Lee is definitely rough around the edges but if you do your job as a respectful camper- Lee does... More

The advertising says it has "All the conveniences of home". That's only true if your home is a pigsty. The cabin we stayed in had a beautiful view (that's the only good part). It was covered in dead bugs and some type of feces (probably mouse). When I tried to vacuum I found the vacuum was packed with a moldy... More
