The Bangerter family has created something genuinely special in southern Utah's wild landscape. Layne, Betsy, Eli, and Alleyna consistently earn praise for making guests feel like family from the moment they arrive. Multiple visitors describe them as warm, genuine, and down-to-earth hosts who go above and beyond. The horseback riding experiences, led primarily by Eli, stand out for well-trained, gentle horses and stunning scenery that includes mountain views, river crossings, and sweeping valley vistas. He even takes photos during rides so guests can focus on the experience. The property serves double duty as both an adventure destination and a sought-after wedding venue. Couples rave about the beautiful setting and the personal touch that comes with a family-owned operation. Beyond riding, visitors appreciate the expansive grounds perfect for family gatherings, complete with a pool, grills, and space to truly unplug. The universal five-star sentiment speaks volumes: this is a place where the combination of breathtaking landscape and exceptional hospitality creates memorable experiences for families, couples, and first-time riders alike.
I think the best word to describe Eagle Mountain Ranch is paradise. From the horses, the beautiful property, and the people that take care of everything it's absolutely delightful. Layne, Betsy, Eli, and Alleyna are the most genuine down to earth people that are so fun to spend time with. This place would make a perfect wedding venue! I also board my horse here and I know she is happy and healthy at this ranch. We try to come here at least once a month to ride; truly there is no better place.
