This historic working ranch offers multiple experiences, from guided tours to special events like their popular cowboy breakfast gatherings. The merchandise shop stands out consistently, with staff members earning particular praise for going above and beyond - one assistant manager even hand-delivered a last-minute gift order to ensure timely arrival. The friendly, attentive service keeps customers coming back, and some visitors have even made annual events here a cherished family tradition. The ranch tours get mixed feedback though. While you'll see cattle, horses, deer, and beautiful wildlife, the 90-minute bus experience has some drawbacks. Several guests found the enclosed bus uncomfortably hot without proper air conditioning, making it difficult to enjoy the primarily history-focused commentary. Visibility can be challenging too, with passengers sometimes unable to see the animals and features being pointed out. The cowboy breakfast events receive much warmer reviews and seem to be crowd favorites. Overall, visitors appreciate the quality and authenticity, though tour logistics could use improvement for comfort.
Tour guide was awesome.
