I had never been on a horseback trail ride before so i really didn't know what to think, but the bar has been set pretty high. Ride was a lot of fun. The horses seem very happy and well-taken care of. The owners seem to actually care about the horses. Sometimes you see where the horses are like zombies. This... More

You really get away from everything with this authentic "western" weekend. At North Mountain Outfitters, the bunkhouse is set away from the road and the town enough that you don't hear anything but the wind in the trees and the sounds of the cattle on the hillside. Your cellphone will work, but there is no tv or wifi. A great... More

We spent one night in the bunk house and went riding on the half day trip. My wife and I absolutely loved our trip to north mountain outfitters. All the meals were very good and we had a great time horseback ridding. We would highly recommend you check this place out.

I can only repeat the great reviews below. We went as a family with 2 children (age 10 and 11) and had a fantastic time. The stay in the bunkhouse is great and the hosts are all super friendly. The whole outfit is perfect for first time riders. You have two options when you stay in the bunkhouse. a) arrive... More

My boyfriend and I bought the Groupon for this trip and celebrated my birthday here. It was so great. We stayed in a hotel in Staunton the night before and drove in early for our trail ride. We were greeted by the owner's daughter who is such a sweetheart and then were taught the basics of horseback riding by Dwight,... More

Our family drove 2hrs and 30mins to get to this place just to find out they canceled the ride however they never called or emailed us to tell us the ride was in fact canceled. We mentioned how we drove many many miles and had hotel expenses and that they should reimburse us at least half for the inconvenience. We... More

We bought a groupon and reserved a half day horseback riding trip on a weekday. Our host Dwight confirmed the date immediatly by email. The drive out to the ranch was beautiful. Make sure to not follow your GPS blindly, but to check the map and directions on the web site first. When we arrived we were greeted by Dwight,... More

Amazing find - a piece of "The West" - with horses, roaring fireplace, buffalo hides, bearskin rugs and absolute quiet right on the East Coast, 3 hours (270 km) from Washington DC, in Virginia. This Guest Ranch is truly an escape from the bustle and traffic of the DC area, located below North Mountain where the sound of babbling streams... More
