The horses are clearly well-cared for and the staff genuinely attentive here, with Jeff and his family running operations that consistently impress guests. Reviewers rave about the friendly, knowledgeable guides who make both first-timers and experienced riders feel comfortable and safe throughout their trail rides. The two-hour mountain rides offer stunning views of the Adirondacks, while specialty experiences like breakfast and dinner rides come highly recommended for their delicious food and memorable sunset settings. Guests particularly appreciate how accommodating the team is with special requests, including helping arrange a surprise proposal. The horses get individual shoutouts by name, suggesting they're matched thoughtfully to riders' personalities and experience levels. One reviewer mentioned a talkative guide disturbed their peaceful nature experience, though this seems to be an isolated incident. Overall, families, couples, and solo adventurers consistently describe their visits as fantastic experiences they're eager to repeat.
Best horseback riding experience! We have done a half dozen rides at different places in the US and Italy, and this was the best. The staff was friendly and attentive. They made sure we were comfortable and having a good time. Group was small and the ride was at a relaxing pace. And the horses were the best! All the horses were clam and easy to handle. No problem at all. Ride left on time and returned on time. We did the breakfast ride. Rode out to the to the breakfast site in the middle of forest and enjoyed eggs, beacon, hash browns and biscuits. Planning to go back and do the dinner ride!
