Our family has visited Rankin Ranch (grandparents, parents, chuildren) for nine years straight. Not only that, but my husband used to vacation here as a child. I agree with everything that the other reviewers have said about friendliness, complete relaxation and natural beauty. The magic of this place is that the simpler things become fun. Suddenly, children are gloriously happy... More

Thanks to everyone at Rankin for making our stay so memorable. We stayed for 3 nights in August 2011 with 2 children (under 10). The horse riding and activities for the kids were excellent. We really enjoyed everything, but especially the reptile show, evening BBQ, the lovely warm swimming pool, the petting farm, the beautiful scenery and relaxing atmosphere -... More

This was our first time at the Ranch and we had a wonderful time. Definitely geared towards families. Best kids club ever. Not a lot by way of frills, but if you are looking for a real ranch experience with great hospitality, I would recommend this place to anyone. The Rankins make you feel like you have know them all...

This was our second visit to Rankin Ranch. Our first was in 2005, our most recent trip was during the 4th of July weekend. Rankin is a wonderful place to relax and be pampered. The food is delicious and plentiful, the staff (most of which is the Rankin family) is friendly and the grounds are beautiful. If you have young... More

I had invited around 25 people to come up to the ranch for the Sunday barbecue/hayride and to spend the afternoon celebrating. 10 of the guests were staying over at least Sunday night, the... More

I don't know where to start! Everything was perfect. The people, the place, the Rankin family & helpers, the horses, the peace & quiet. We didn't know what to expect, and could not have been more impressed. We are not riders, but had fantastic times going into the canyons,places we would not normailly see. Our 8 year old daughter chose... More

My title isn't overstating how I feel about Rankin Ranch. It truly is my most favorite place to be, and the place I close my eyes and think about whenever I'm feeling stressed. I started visiting Rankin Ranch each Summer when I was 10 years old, and today, at age 37, I still cry my eyes out when it's time... More

Spent an amazing week on the ranch. Everything was great from the cabins, the riding, the food, (we still make lemon bars from the recipe given to us! Every meal was fabulous) the evening activities, the wonderful Rankin family. Highlights for us have to be the riding, even the slightly nervous ones amongst us , the wagon rides to the... More

We went up there for Mother's Day weekend and had the absolute best time imaginable! Met some fantastic new people and as usual, the Rankins made us feel like family. Rudy the cook is the most amazing chef ever! I can never get enough of the Ranch.
