This is a multi-generational family-run stable with genuine warmth woven into every visit. Guides like Piper, Sky, Jenny, Carly, and David consistently earn praise for being knowledgeable, patient, and attentive, especially with first-timers and anxious kids. The horses themselves are rescues, clearly well-loved and well-trained, and riders frequently mention how calm and sure-footed they are even in challenging conditions like snow and steep terrain. The trail scenery gets high marks, with mountain views that are particularly stunning during fall color season. There's also a charming on-site cantina and a few friendly resident animals that add to the rustic, authentic atmosphere. Solo riders have occasionally noted that guides can be quieter when the group is small, so if conversation and storytelling are important to you, it may be worth mentioning that when you book. The overall experience here feels personal rather than transactional. One guest even pulled off a mountain proposal with the staff's help and walked away engaged. That kind of care is hard to fake, and it shows up consistently across the reviews. Longer ride options are available for those wanting to go deeper into the trails, and many guests specifically mention planning a return trip for that reason.
This was the 4th year that my wife and I went to Old Stage Road Stables for our anniversary. This was the best experience yet!! Henry was our guide and Carissa was on our ride with us. They knew it was our anniversary and surprised us with a private ride to the best view ever! This place is something we look forward to every year and they never disappoint! We are already looking forward to our 5th anniversary next year! Thank you so much for helping us make today so special!!
