• Comments: Thank you for yet another grand and memorable visit to TRR. Our family planned this August visit for over a year, to accommodate the busy summer schedules of four grandchildren, and Marilyn and I celebrated our 50th anniversary in the very best way possible — with family. Although we found the “care and feeding” of the guests was superb in every way, we were particularly impressed with the beds which were “Oh, so very comfortable.” Morning coffee in front of a wood fire was very pleasant indeed, and the available firewood with the easy start tender, over the top.
  
  Your wrangler staff was terrific, professional, yet personal. How you recruit such a marvelous staff is a skill so rarely seen.
  
  Thank you once again for arranging a slice of life so seldom seen, but so long remembered.

• Comments: Suzanne and I just want to say that this turned out to be one of the best vacations we ever had. I have to admit that I wasn’t too sure about the whole dude ranch concept, particularly being on a horse for many activities, but you and your staff turned me around pretty quickly and made our stay there one that we and our kids will remember forever. We were so impressed by how welcome you made us feel and by how much fun we had. Julie and Jessica can’t stop talking about TRR. I’m sitting here at my office in New York but my mind is at your upper camp!

• Comments: We wanted to share our book (photo album book) with you to let you know what a great time we had at the ranch. There are some photos of Laney and Finn in here as well. We are looking forward to next summer and may have some Texas friends to bring with us as well. Thanks for a great week.

• Comments: We’ve been home less than two days and we are trying to get back to reality. It’s not easy to leave TRR behind. Everything about the ranch: Staff, horses, riding, acivities, children’s programs, food, scenery — is excellent. We haven’t gotten our photos developed but we’ve visited the website twice and we’ve read and reread your brochure in our reluctance to let go of the special vacation you created for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have many wonderful memories of our experiences.
  
  We didn’t think it was possible, but the second vist was even better than the first!

• Comments: We want to thank you for a marvelous week at Tumbling River Ranch. The grandkids enjoyed the riding, made new friends and saw how people can really love their jobs. As always, we appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff, and we wish to thank Nicky for singing the “Grandpa” song.
  
  Dana and I wish you the greatest success. We recommend your ranch for all grandparents.

• Comments: Just a note to say that our family enjoyed a great week at TRR. Thanks again to you for allowing us to bring our horses — the Pool Pasture was marvelous for them.
  
  Thanks to the whole crew for our food, wrangling, shuttling, fishing and general care. It was a fun week and we are enjoying our photos.

• Comments: I just wanted to send a heart felt thanks for the wonderful week we spent at the ranch. You and your staff provided our family with a truly unbelievable experience and wonderful memories of a lifetime.
  
  We will be sure to tell all of our friends about the Tumbling River experience.

• Comments: Six days seems much too long!
  I know you are all getting ready for the summer season, you are probably very busy, and may not get a chance to read this until we are in your presence, but I just wanted to let you know how excited my family and I are to come out and visit you all once again. I can’t put into words the feeling I get when we pull onto the rock road that leads to the ranch. I always wish we had super speed so that we could get there faster, but it never happens. The feeling I get when we are leaving the ranch after our wonderful stay, makes me sad that we couldn’t stay for the whole summer. I love coming to TRR every year, and I always look forward to it. It’s a family vacation that I look forward to taking. See you in six days, not that I’m counting or anything...

• Comments: We’ve had 3 family reunions over the past 11 yrs @ TRR & can’t wait to get back this summer. Each time our vacation there is better & better. The food is incredible! The accommodations are amazing! And the staff is simply the best! With square dancing, whitewater rafting, eating, s’mores by the campfire, fishing, eating, overnights & early morning rides, hikes, eating, the rodeo, and, oh yea, did I mention eating, you’ll have cherished memories for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a unique vacation that rivals all others, TRR is for you.

• Comments: I’m afraid it’s been 7 years since we went to Tumbling River Ranch, but it was one of the best family vacations we have had. Ask them how long they’ve managed the place when you call. We took three adults (grandmother came along, who stayed in private room in lodge) and three kids, including a baby. We had both sides of a spacious log cabin duplex on the river—perfect. Great service, beautiful setting, really nice horses (my husband is a frequent rider and picky about this), good food,lots of personal attention. Only about 60 people there at one time. Totally fun place.

• Comments: As a Lieutenant in the FDNY, I was part of a fund-raising bike tour that stretched coast to coast in 2004. I thought myself very unlucky to get the Continental Divide leg of this bike tour until staying at Tumbling River Ranch! Megan and Scott were kind enough to donate a night at their Ranch to the Widow's and Orphan's Fund — and us riders got to stay in one of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever seen. I fell in love with the sheer physical beauty of TRR and talked about it often. My (now) wife and I returned to TRR for vacation in July 2005. It was the best vacation ever — the staff was friendly beyond compare. The thought of the food still makes our mouths water! Learning to ride horses was exciting. We are looking forward to returning with our son.

• Comments: Went to TRR with kids aged 13, 12 and 3 last week of June 2007. It was amongst the greatest weeks of my life. I cannot think of one thing about it that wasn’t first rate. Our older kids are normal cynical kids and they cried the last night thinking about leaving.
  It was too good for words...
  We had perfect weather, but they all seemed geared up for anything. Food is great whether it’s served at the lodge or 5 miles up the mountain during your trail ride. Our cabin overlooked the river and the sound of the rapids outside our window at night was very soothing....

• Comments: I can't tell you how much our family group of 13 loved our week at Tumbling River Ranch this summer. We felt so fortunate having found you on the internet. The ranch provided everything that you described. Our children and grandchildren continue to tell us that the ranch vacation was our "best ever" family reunion. The Pueblo House was the ideal location for us. It was so unique, spacious and comfortable. And that glorious big kitchen constantly had us drooling over the yummy smells of fresh baked goods and newly-brewed coffee. Our days were happily filled with riding, hiking, white-water rafting and lots of time fishing. We loved having the big pond right outside our door. How glorious to just open the front door and find fishing poles lined up waiting for us! And, a word must be said about your staff. We were very impressed with their abilities and caring personalities. And, finally, having the two of you being so hands-on really added to the A+ quality of the ranch. Thanks for providing us with a great summer vacation!

• Comments: Tom and I want to thank all of you for making our first Dude Ranch experience exceed our expectations in all categories! All of you were so accommodating, courteous, helpful and SMILING! We enjoyed the rides, the delicious food (including the cookouts), the pool/hot tub, the shooting, the fishing, and the lovely location. Thank you all for one of our all-time fabulous vacations. We hope to be back, and will refer friends and family.

• Comments: My husband, Brad, and I have had the opportunity (and privilege) to visit Tumbling River several times and we always leave saying, “Let's just move here!” We have not yet visited with our children, but I can assure you they will be with us on our next trip! Scott and Megan obviously take pride in their work and it shows in all areas of the ranch...the handpicked staff...the cozy cabins and main lodge...the delicious food...the top-notch children's programs...abundance of outdoor activities...live entertainment...and their true desire to make each and every guest feel welcome and comfortable. This destination trip is one not to be missed and I can't wait for our next visit!
