Perfect!
We loved absolutely everything about the Wilson Ranches Retreat. Very comfortable stay, an amazing, delicious breakfast, and what a location - talk about getting away from it all:)
Best of all…the people. Kara and Chantelle made us feel like family.

What a great place- so quiet. The owner took time to chat with me for 15 minutes when I checked in. I slept great and really enjoyed drinking coffee on the deck in the morning with the picturesque backdrop. Thanks, I'll be coming back.

It was beautiful area and very quiet. The cattle yearlings were fun to watch. It is a bed and. Breakfast as in you have a room and shared spaces. You have to walk through these shared spaces to go to your assigned bathrooms. our room had 2 beds and 2 hard back solid yucky chairs to watch tv. Did not like the shared space thing

Superbe accueil, breakfast généreux et sympathique. La cuisine pour les hôtes ainsi que les barbecues à disposition sont bien pratiques.
Balade à cheval y compris pour les débutants.
Superbe ciel étoilé.
Nous n’avons malheureusement pas pu voir l’activité du ranch car ce n’était pas la période (troupeau en pâturages)

We had a delightful time staying at the ranch and exploring the National Monument area nearby. Our interactions with the hosts were invaluable, it’s not every day you get to learn from local experts. A unique and fun time 🙂

We had an awesome stay at the ranch. They are located a little away from Fossil on farmland. This is family owned and well cared for ranch in a gorgeous canyon. Very quiet - no human noise, just birds and cows, horses are really quiet. Breakfast was good, you can ask to have it earlier and packed to go. Great place to explore all John Fossil and painted rocks locations.

Leuke ranch met veel oude details.
Het ontbijt is goed en gezellig met andere gasten en de eigenaresse.
De ranch ligt heerlijk rustig tussen de bergen.
Paardrijden kan vanaf de ranch, je kan vanaf een uur tot de hele dag rijden. Zelfs zonder ervaring ga je door de bergen, alles onder begeleiding.
Echt een aanrader.
