This was a wonderful experience! Well trained horses in a beautiful facility, carefully matched to the rider, on an incredible network of well maintained natural trails. Expert guidance made our day so special, no matter how experienced you are on horseback. Two hours was not nearly long enough and we will be sure to return. Many thanks to gorgeous Storm and Zeta for carrying us so well on such a great ride!

We recently stayed here for two nights and absolutely loved the atmosphere. It was such a unique experience to stay on a working ranch! The hospitality was outstanding—the owner personally checked in on us to make sure everything was comfortable and even offered us the option to move to a different spot if we preferred. The facilities were great, with a hot shower and a clean restroom available. The space is very generous, so you never feel crowded. Thank you, Paradise Acres Ranch, for being such great hosts. We really enjoyed our time here and look forward to coming back!

Went on the two hour trail ride with a couple of friends. Had a really great time and our guide Maya was awesome. Always checking in with the group and keeping an eye on our surroundings. I felt very well looked after by her and my horse Angel 😇💕

Was a wonderful stay with the healing magic of horses surrounding us. The accommodation was a little unclear going in. It’s actually a bedroom and bathroom that you rent. Other spaces are shared common areas and attached to the owners house. That being said no one else was renting the other room and it felt as though we had our own private space. Surrounded by quiet serenity. The owners are amazing very hard working people. The views are rustic and beautiful at the same time. No regrets. A wonderful memory made:)

So much fun. We do a horse trek on every trip we take and this was the best ever. Our guide, Maya, was so nice and my horse, Callie, was the best. Would certainly use them again.

My wife gifted me a 1 hour trail ride with her. I had always wanted to ride a horse and this was my first time. What a great experience! This was so fun and perfect introduction into horseback trail riding. We are really looking forward to booking a 2 hour ride next time.Only downside (not even a complaint really) was, we were told we could find photos (taken during the ride) of us on the facebook page. But they never seemed to be uploaded, even after a request for them. Not a big deal and no hard feelings, we just would have liked to see them as there was no real time before or after the ride to take some ourselves.What a great overall experience!
