We decided on a 2-day get away...not from the snow and cold, we weren't going that far, but away from our 4 walls to someone else's 4 walls. We made a wonderful choice at the Kickapoo Valley Ranch. We arrived late afternoon and our "cabin" was ready for us. To welcome us to our "get away" were fresh cookies baked by Cowboy David and they were delicious...the cabin was clean and sanitized. There were coffee beans to ground and we, in our cabin, had a full kitchen. Our cabin faced the east looking into the Kickapoo Valley forest preserve. Snow still covered the ground but the drive to the cabins had been cleared and the short drive to the cabin was safe. Since we were only staying 2 days we had packed lightly, not planning on hiking or looking for things to do. Now for the best part. There is no TV reception or cell phone reception. We knew this prior and had taken "The Crown" 3 seasons to binge watch while we were there. The facility doesn't offer anything to the guests other than peace within the woods. This is not an inconvenience, it is a choice to unplug from our conveniences for awhile. I will say this is not a "primitive" place because there is "kick-ass" wi-fi available so there is a possible connection for anyone interested. I happily and gladly give Kickapoo Valley Ranch the highest rating possible.…
The best experience ever!!! In a time where are lives have been so turned around, we found peace and tranquillity at Kickapoo Valley Ranch. The setting is beautiful and waking up to the horses each morning, brought so much joy. We travel often and rarely say in our room. It was opposite for us this time. We didn’t want to leave the cabin and when we did, we couldn’t wait to get back. In this current state of a pandemic, traveling was a concern. I am a crazy germ person and now even more. I can only tell you, that I have never felt so comfortable. They have implemented the best cleaning procedures. We felt completely safe and had price of mind while enjoying our stay. There’s wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere and you could smell the cleanliness of the cabin. Cowboy Joe was amazing to work with. Our treats from Cowboy Dave were scrumptious. We can’t wait to book our next trip to this hidden gem. See you in the fall.…
My wife and I just needed a place to go and getaway for a couple nights. A great choice is what we made. This is a fantastic place that was spotless. They truly make you not worry about anything and the cookies were fantastic. My wife had also ordered a half dozen muffins and they were alao very good. Looking forward to our next getaway in the spring so we can get out and enjoy the surrounding area and hike. On our way home we drove aroumd and found an Amish community with great shops all over.
My husband and I just stayed here for our 15th wedding anniversary. We stayed in Wild Bill's Hideout for three nights and it was exactly what we needed. The cabin itself was spacious for two people and had everything we needed. We enjoyed Cowboy David's amazing cookies and as a surprise for my husband I had Cowboy Joe pick out a gift basket of local goodies that were waiting for us when we got there. I had also ordered a delicious cake from Cowboy David's to celebrate as well. We spent mornings eating breakfast on the amazing patio in the rocking chairs and we ended out nights out there as well. During the days we hiked the surrounding Reserve and Wildcat Mountain. Cowboy Joe was so welcoming upon check-in and made sure we had everything we needed!! If you are looking for a peaceful, friendly, super clean and super relaxing place to stay this is the place! We highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back!…
We made use of a couple cabins for a family outing in late October. This was our fourth or fifth visit to KVR over the past few years....we love this place. The cabins are always exceptionally clean, comfortable and quiet. The view is always enjoyable and the porches are a great place for morning coffee or a drink in the evening. We haven't encountered more friendly and professional staff anywhere. And the special order bakery just adds to reasons why we will be back again.
