The angry cowboy everyone talks about is a great down to earth cowboy who enjoys being treated like a human being. Everyone deserves respect, and it all comes down to treating others as you would want to be treated. The cabins are nice comfortable cabins and I love the hometown vibe we got from the locals. I plan on making... More

The ruddest owner I have ever spoke with. Very disrespectful, no people skills at all! I called to book a reservation and was treated aful by him! I should have researced and looked at other reviews, they are spot on! This guy is not a person you want to do any kind of business with. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!

I have lived in Nebraska my whole life and for some reason I have never experienced tubing down the Niobrara River. I have heard so many great things about this river trip and every good thing I heard was true! We decided to do the 4 hour trip in the national reserve (Cornell bridge to Berry Bridge - no drinking)... More

We rented four cabins for a family reunion plus books a river rafting trip. It was a very good weekend. The cabins have everything that one needs from bed linen to direct TV, wine corkscrew to pots and pans, and lots of room for everyone. The setting was beautiful, the wildlife wild and the river excellent. We had babies, toddlers,... More

We took a family trip to the Niobrara River Ranch last week. We had a great time. The cabins were beautiful. The staff was so friendly, namely Jaida and Roy. Lee the owner was very accomdating although he isn't much of a talker. We highly recommend staying at the River Ranch.

I've been down this river over 30 times and I never get tired of it. I recommend tubing over canoeing. The pace of tubing is much slower and more relaxed. So if you just want to float lazily down the river, drink a few brews, and enjoy the company you brought along on your adventure, tubing is the way to... More

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
