We gathered as an extended family for one if the most memorable, fun and exciting weeks ever. This ranch has been running for many many years and they are such experts in making sure that all ages, abilities and interests are accommodated. The trail rides and wranglers who lead them are second-to-none and we were luck enough to see elk, mountain goats, grizzly bears, owl and an eagle on just one of our rides.

Accommodations are comfortable and rustic and the cool night's mean no need at all for a/c or anything more than a fan. Our kids loved the independence afforded at the ranch and we are grateful for the ranch staff who make sure that the kids remain safe.

The food at the Elkhorn is outstanding and most meals are served in the dining hall, where guests compare notes on adventures of the day. The ranch is located very near Yellowstone, and if you are looking for a place where you can enjoy the unparalleled natural beauty of the Yellowstone area, yet feel as far away from your day-to-day, this is the place. True relaxation, comfort and adventure are here. We will be back.

I can not say enough about how fantastic this place is and how wonderful our experience was! Linda matched everyone, not only in our family, but in the whole group with a great horse. There were riders varying in range from the very INexperienced ( and slightly afraid of riding ) to those who ride every day. The cabins were cozy and clean and I loved that our wood stove was quietly lit every morning ( it's optional, of course ) to take the chill out of the August air.
You could choose the type of ride you'd like to experience and Linda matched you with a bunch of fun and interesting people. And the WRANGLERS!!!! Love them all, but especially Brian, Hunter, and Sonia. Wranglers Rachel and Jared were great with the kids all day - riding and entertaining. Let me just say that the "kids program" part of being at Elkhorn was amazing for everyone. The kids loved being independent and the parents loved a little space away from them. There were 14 kids of varying ages the wk we were there and it was magical - they played volleyball, lassoed the "bull", made up games, hula hooped, swam, played ping pong, and just were able to be kids! Chef Michael made every meal delicious and there were tons of choices. This was another great part of the vacation - not worrying about food, ordering, whether or not the kids will eat it when it comes, etc..
Oh, and there's a place to borrow a hat and your boots! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!
Go if you can and you will not be disappointed!

A dream vacation. Loved every minute of our 7 day trip. Such personalized service. Clean cabins, clean grounds., amazing food! Friendly and personable staff. You can tell that it is a great work environment, too...low employee turnover and previous employees taking vacations to this ranch. Will definitely return with family. Can't wait to go again. Truly magical!
