No there's no yellow brick road, but there might as well be. We returned for our third Christmas vacation. Our daughter is fifteen and our son is thirteen and though cynicism creeps into nearly everything else their parents enjoy, Vista Verde has sidestepped their disenchantment. In fact, they're looking forward to our next visit, already scheduled. The food is excellent.... More

After a lot of research, we decided on Vista Verde Ranch for our honeymoon. The tipping point was how quickly Stephanie responded to my emails, and how personable and accommodating she was. She even helped me select the perfect cabin for our stay (and she was right!) From the moment we arrived, the trip was perfect. I love the laid... More

We just finished another family vacation at Vista Verde, and once again, it was the best. The term "guest ranch" is really not accurate. By the end of the week, you're not a "guest" at Vista Verde, you are a member of the family. That's the feeling you get from the staff. They are welcoming, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, anxious to... More

One of the best vacations ever... memories to last a life time. The ranch itself was fantastic, really nice facilities in a stunning natural setting. The program had many different options to choose from and given the virtually one to one guest to staff ratio, you were able to choose exactly what you wanted to do. This was a multigenerational...

We've been a Vista Verde Christmas family since 2007, visiting the Ranch every other holiday - 2011 is a Vista Verde Christmas year. We'd never visited the ranch during the summer so I decided to drop in this July. I found any number of features I'd not seen before, because they'd always been under feet of snow. Fortunately I found... More

Vista Verde is our family's favorite place, and we've been to a lot of places! We have been to the ranch four times in all - three times in the summer and once in the winter. We still can't decide which season we like best - there is so much to see and do whether the mountains are covered with... More

My best friend and I spent a glorious week at Vista Verde. The location, setting and variety of activities are a great reason to choose VVR. However, it is the absolutely phenomenal staff that make this place an absolute gem. The riding was excellent, the food was amazing, the rafting was great and the rock climbing instructors could not have... More

We found this ranch after short-listing several across the States and Canada. We then ran each on the short-list through Tripadvisor and found the reviews for this ranch were consistently excellent. Cost wise the all inclusive ranch option seemed a little expensive, so I was nervous about making the wrong choice. I can say, without reservation, that it was worth... More

To say that my husband and I loved our recent stay at Vista Verde is an understatement! We chose the ranch based on its variety of all inclusive activities as well as the rave reviews others have given it. We were not disappointed! The lodge room we stayed in was spacious and very comfortable and had wonderful amenities such as... More
