This was my fifth hunting trip to the ranch and I was super excited. Unfortunately the ranch has experienced some staff changes and has also changed the guest experience. For hunters there is no more fine dining with passed appetizers before dinner, nice wines and gourmet food. Instead hunters get a crock pot of mystery slop put out in the kitchen of the lodging building they are staying in. There's a commercial coffee pot in the morning where you make the coffee while you navigate the mess in the kitchen from the night before...the staff don't come by until midday to clean up the dishes and take away all the food from the prior night. Needless to say there are bugs having a party on the mess. The first night the caters brought the food by, they didn't bring serving utensils so we ended up serving potatoes with a table spoon we found. I asked about wine and they found a couple bottles and then attempted to open them. They destroyed the corks and had to pour the wine through a coffee filter. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. It really felt like the ranch was trying to cut corners and pinch pennies. Maybe they are having financial issues? The hunting was fair, the main valley was very dry so most fields were fallow. You used to see hundreds of deer going through, now most have moved elsewhere. If you like a first class operation...this place is no longer it. I will probably not be back. What a bummer.…
5 years ago we had a team meeting at the High Lonesome Ranch. We loved it so much that we went back again this week. Once again the accomodations, the activities, the meeting space were all amazing! We loved seeing Aunt Linda with her granola every morning! After four days of unbelievably delicious food we all started diets as soon as we left! The only thing I hadn't been impressed with 5 years ago were the quality of the wines, which I really didn't believe were at the same level as the food. Well wow has that changed! Justin does an outstanding job of providing high quality wines that are excellently paired with the food. And a different cocktail every evening. I give the wine list and everything else five stars!! And would enjoy going back soon!!!
I have been to many ranches but the High Lonesome is the best. A week riding horses, clay shooting, fly fishing and roping. The staff is highly knowledgeable and are the utmost friendly and professional people you will meet. The ranch more than exceeded my expectations. The food served is of the highest caliber and freshness. The cater for gluten free and dairy free the week I was there. Nothing was ever too much. Highly recommend that people come to the ranch and see how good it actually is.
If you like the outdoors, you will not be disappointed in the High Lonesome Ranch. We went with our children, ages 11 and 5. We had the time of our lives. They have horseback riding, trail rides, a cattle drive, shooting, fishing, hiking, rafting, or just relaxing. The staff will do just about anything for you and the food is the best you will ever taste. There is no down side to this place. 100% positive experience.
If you have never been to a dude ranch or even if you have - you need to experience this place. The accommodations, the food, the activities, and the people make this a must-try experience. The staff is absolutely top notch!! I want to call out the kitchen, between the food and drink that the two Justin's served up and the breakfast that Aunt Linda and her team fed us......AWESOME...The wranglers do an incredible job, shout out to Marian, Jackie, and Whitney. The guides are all great, really enjoy the help that Zane provided... There is even a live band on Friday nights as well as a big dance. I want to thank Paul, Tina, and Scott for providing some great experiences and stories as well. If you are thinking about trying a place out, I'm not sure you could top High Lonesome Ranch - THANKS TEAM!!…
