Great family destination!

Sun Aug 03 2025 11:45:08 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Peg M

The ranch is a wonderful experience for our multigenerational family. This was our third visit and has met expectations each time. Food is exceptional in every way with the staff willing to accommodate every request, and there were some with five children. Our cabins were wonderful examples of the great west “in luxury.” As for activities, I’m not sure what else they could add to their list. Our group loves fishing, horseback riding and hiking. The activity staff is very friendly, fun and always willing to accommodate. Our little ones have great fun in the Lil Wranglers program, ages 4-9, because they get to experience the ranch on their level and attention span. The Wranglers’ staff are always caring, experienced, attentive and qualified young people who make it fun for the little ones. I would like to see the ranch add a similar program for older kids who have aged out of the Wranglers, maybe 10-12, because in this age group, they are not yet old enough to do many ranch activities without an adult chaperone, leaving that adult unable to enjoy an activity of his/her own choice during that time period. I feel it is a miss for Brush Creek since most other comparable family friendly ranches do have a program through 12 year olds. We were there for July 4th week. There are so many additional activities including a rodeo, creekside cookout, fireworks, parade, etc. Couldn’t be more fun! Peggy M.

Back of House Fails, So We Moved On

Tue Jul 15 2025 16:49:52 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Josh R

We were (no longer "are") keen to visit here. So we called them twice over 10 days to get some coaching on booking the right room, etc. -- which seems a prudent thing to do given how expensive Brush Creek is. After speaking with someone on each call, we were directed to the voicemail of someone else. We left two voicemails over 10 days. Brush Creek chose to not return either of our calls, so we're choosing to visit another ranch.

Amazing Family Ranch Experience

Sat Mar 15 2025 11:28:36 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Z9178KF

In addition to the stunning beauty and luxury accomodations, our trip this winter to Brush Creek Ranch was made truly special by the staff of the resort. Eddie, who leads activities, was always involved and his team is dedicated to making sure each guest had a great experience. Eli was fantastic, leading a really memorable experience on the gun range. Matt and Derrick guides us on perhaps the best and most exciting snowmobile adventure that we have had. The Llama hike - which we would have never guessed would be so enjoyable - was one of our highlights with Austin leading. To top it off, they provide world class dining with a group of waiters, chefs, and crew that focus on every detail. Thank you also to two excellent bar tenders - Shannon and Emma. Thank you Brush Creek Ranch for a wonderful and memorable spring break week!

Family Style Dude Ranch

Fri May 31 2024 18:56:32 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Lisa V

This is the place to come with family, especially children! You won’t find a more hospitable place that has so much to offer the entire family. There is plenty to do within the inclusive experience and if you want to do any activities not included in the package you can be sure that the people managing those activities are the best at what they do! The accommodations were clean and family friendly and the food was fantastic! And lots of it! No one was ever hungry! As an added bonus we happened to be able to see a bull fest while there! Everyone was wowed! We could not believe how very friendly and helpful ALL of the employees were to us. We had a lot of kids and that did not stop these people. They can handle whatever you need! We were blessed to be able to bring our son and his wife and large family on a trip they will never forget.
