So we loved this place. Family of 4 with a 10 and 12 year old. The staff was patient with the non experienced and very attentive. The hosts/owners were both very personable and went out of their way to make everyone comfortable.
You learn the basics of horse care and get to saddle your own horse and brush them. 2 rides a day with breaks in between to get used to things. There is a pool and plenty of porch space to read or just relax. The hosts had kids the same age as ours so it worked out great. Hosts kids are very personable and are skilled at making young and old feel comfortable. The lodge is first rate as are the cabins. Very clean and decorated well. Ours even had a full kitchen although we never used it. 3 meals a day and all were well above average. You will likely gain some weight b/c the food is good and home cooked. You eat family style with the other guests which was fun.
Hosts have 2 wranglers (ranch hands) which are both skilled and patient. Easy to talk to and friendly. Ours were college aged girls with many years of horse experience. They work their butts offs for you and the farm.
Host had a dog named Laredo and he was entertaining and went on every ride with us. He may or may not have had an altercation with a ground hog while we were out one day.
Team Penning was my favorite as you get into a ring with 20 or so cows and you and your horse have to separate 3 of them and with the help over a couple other guests, put them into a pen. It was awesome.
The lodge has a little quiet library, an upstairs bar, pool table and Foosball table. There is also a movie room for the evenings or if it rains.
We mainly enjoyed sitting on the many porches and watching cows/horses in the evening and the fireflies that came out.
This is a very peaceful and quiet place. No one locks their doors.
We'll be back.

Our experience at the KD Guest Ranch was so much more than we ever anticipated!! Dave & Kari went out of their way to help my husband plan a surprise birthday extravaganza for me that included all of our family and friends—arriving at different times, serving meals, hiding vehicles and people. After Kari & Dave’s excellent instructions, all of the adults in our group were comfortable grooming, saddling, and riding their horses—several were fearful of horses before that!! The ranch and the surrounding countryside is beautiful and we loved exploring the area on horseback.
The entire family was so welcoming and charming—Brayley, Bronc, and Colt are well on their way to carrying on their parents wonderful hospitality!! The cabins are comfortable and easily accommodated our complex family needs. Everyone should visit Adamsville and the KD Guest Ranch—no need to travel West for a ranch experience!!

My husband and I wanted to do something special and unique for our 30-year wedding anniversary. We had wanted to visit a ranch and were hoping to find something closer to home. We found KD Guest Ranch after doing some online research. It was such a wonderful experience. Dave and Kari and their children, along with their wrangler, Kasha were absolutely amazing. They are tireless in making you feel welcome and went above and beyond what we expected. This is a high-quality ranch and they seem to have thought of everything to accommodate their guests. The cabins and lodge are very clean and well-appointed with unique décor. The food was incredible. Three large meals were provided each day and all were delicious. My husband has many years of experience with horses and I had none. Kari and Dave spoke with each one of us about our riding experience and matched us perfectly with a horse that would fit us. We loved the trail rides and team penning. We also met some terrific people from Pennsylvania and Cincinnati and really enjoyed spending time laughing and having fun. It was a memorable experience with the other guests and our hosts. We would definitely go back again!
