My partner and I stayed at Wildhorse Mountain Ranch for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. Homemade breakfast, trail rides, and the serene beauty of the mountains made this a 10/10 stay for us!
The ranch is a log cabin situated on a hill surrounded by vineyards, mountainside and wildlife. There are dogs, cats, chickens, and a wandering old horse named Julia who greets you as you drive up the road (she is an old horse who roams freely around the ranch, visiting the other horses. We joked that she is the ranch gossip). A large hot tub sits on the deck and is an amazing place to look at the stars or to enjoy the sunset.
The ranch is run by a lovely German couple who made us homemade breakfast every morning. There was no lunch/dinner service due to COVID-19, but they gave us some great dinner recommendations that were 15 minutes drive in Summerland. Smoking is allowed in the main area of the cabin, but as non-smokers we did not notice any trace of it. The bed was firm but comfy, and we shared a clean and rustic bathroom with one other room.
We are beginners on horses and did 2 trail rides. They were fantastic! The horses are extremely calm, well-trained, and obedient; both of our rides took us up on the ridge overlooking the lake. It was relaxing and peaceful, and fun to watch the farm dogs race around the fields (the horses were unbothered by them). We’ve never seen such happy dogs!
Overall it was a fantastic stay. One thing to note: it’s cash only. Enjoy!
