My wife and two of our children joined me for a short trip to Cashiers. I had business in the area that would take me until around lunch on a Friday leaving the rest of the day and most of Saturday open. After I was done with business we had lunch in the town and started searching for a place... More

My boyfriend and I went horseback riding on March 16, 2013. We were both so excited about being able to ride horses and the best part of it all was that the weather was great for a more than special day. After heading back down from the mountain we reached a pond with a picnic set up for the both... More

My husband and I went horseback riding on April 5, 2013, We chose the 2 hour trail and had a lovely ride up the mountain and down to the pond. The guides were lovely, the horses were gentle and well behaved. Before the ride we saw an instructive video and then the guides took time to show us the commands... More

My husband and I had not been horseback riding in many years. The folks at Arrowmont assured us that they would match us with perfect horses (Calypso and Pretty Boy), and they did. We felt 100% safe and comfortable with our horses and our guide, Josh. They really did make every attempt to match us with the right horse, giving... More

My best friend and I Angelica had the best experience ever. The owner Nancy was so sweet and pleasant offered us hot chocolate, hot cider and crackers and a warm jacket for the trail ride. We were fortunate to meet her sweet and kind 9 year old granddaughter who is an amazing and skilled rider as well. Amanda our lead... More

Dear Mel and Angelica, Thanks so much, We look forward to serving you again! Amanda is a sweet young woman who loves the horses as much as we do. Needless to say, our granddaughter lives for the times she can come to the stables. God Bless you both, Nancy More

Nancy and her grand kids were great! The horses were friendly, clean and beautiful. We really enjoyed the trail and area is just magnificent. We'd recommend this trip and we'll definitely be back!

Nancy is wonderful, the horses are clean, well trained and beautiful, the trail is lovely! We had a great time with our family of four and or best friends who are also a family of four. The littlest children are 5 years old and Nancy gave them good direction and they had a ball. The only complaint was that the... More

Went today as a suprise for my anniversary and it was defiantly worth the four hour drive the trail was pleasant and full of beautiful suprises. When we first came in Nancy was there to greet us as my partner was new to riding. It seemed like she was happy to see us rather than just happy for the business.... More

We went on a Hayride October 2011. It was truck drawn & not horse drawn & only lasted about 1/2 hour. It could have been better if it was horse drawn & longer.

Hi, I'm sorry you were expecting a horse drawn wagon. We don't advertise a horse drawn hay ride because the ride back to the stables up from the valley would be too stressful for the horses over that distance. We do advertise a tractor drawn ride for that reason. We'll be happy to offer you a free ride next time... More

This was the finale to our outdoor adventure vacation (myself and my teen daughter). We had been horseback riding the day before at Biltmore and that was it for experience. The horses we were given were very difficult to control. Nancy, who was very nice and friendly, couldn't get the horse to obey either. I chose Arrowmont because my understanding... More

In a way this comment was a surprise since it was by Sandra's suggestion that I give the personal 2 hour lesson for her daughter. I also offered to provide her with a lesson but Sandra didn't want to. She said several times that providing this for her daughter would be enough. I even offered to take them back out... More
