My husband and I just returned from a week at Rock Springs. We enjoyed the week and found the staff to be attentive, enthusiastic and charming. The owners, John and Eva Gill, are also gracious and personally make breakfast for the guests on the Monday morning ride on the trail. The meals at Rock Springs are incredible. Each morning the... more

This gets a great review from me. If you read the Rock Springs website you'll find six questions that they suggest you ask any dude ranch. The questions are offered with a truly generous spirit to ensure that any dude ranch guest has a good trip regardless of where they go. Reading them and comparing the other ranches lead me... more

Rock Springs is a special place to have a family vacation. The kids have so much fun in the kids' program that they prefer to spend time with the other kids and the counselors over time with their parents. In fact, it is the perfect place to bring an only child, because he instantly has a group of similar age... more

There are not enough words to adequately tell anyone how much I love this little peace of heaven on Earth! My family and I have spent one week for the last 4 summers with the Gills and the extraordinary crew of staff. Going back each year feels like going home. With its breathtaking views, peaceful walks in the woods, amazing... more

We first found Rock Springs in 1988 when our children were 8 and 11. Chose it for the youth program and the horseback riding. Our daughter became a wrangler during her college breaks, something she had dreamed about that first summer as a little girl. Our kids still talk about their ranch adventures and we have stayed great friends with... more

Discovered Rock Springs by accident, but what a fabulous holiday. As a single parent with a 12 year old daughter choosing the right holiday can be a challenge. This was a great choice. Great childrens activities as well as the beloved horses and a real house party atmosphere for adults..so many people return for the amazing experience as we did.... more

We have been going to Rock Springs Ranch with our children (now 19 and 15) for 15 years and you could not find a better place for kids or food or riding or simple, relaxed fun. The ranch is extraordinarily well run, the kids program is terrific, the riding is good and as challenging as you want (or not) and... more

We first went to Rock Springs in the summer of of '92. Three daughters later, we have been to Rock Springs every other summer (and one Thanksgiving) since. The Gills are more than great hosts. They have become good friends as well. They surround themselves with an incredible staff in a beautiful setting. The girls are entertained with riding, crafts,... more

Both my son and I love Rock Springs Ranch. We each get lots of staff attention and opportunity to ride, the youth counselors are wonderful, and the wranglers are fun and experienced. The food is also very good. This is not a plush ranch, but clean and comfortable and perfectly suitable for the experience of horse back riding, which you... more

Eva made you feel as if you... more
