"What a fabulous place! So many activities are available. Our favorite was the horse rides. Lee is a great tour guide. Make sure you visit the top of the mountain for the sunset. The horses, deer, and a group of friendly dogs also come up to visit. What a beautiful view. Our cabin was very comfortable for our family of 5. I definitely want to come back"
"The views were definitely epic, but they came with a couple of big hurdles. The first was that when I booked online there wasn’t any way to put the ages of kids or expertise level of the people riding. It’s fine, but they claim that you don’t need any experience. When we showed up, our guide saw us waiting outside of the car and he told us to sign in. After filling the paperwork he came out and said he didn’t know that there were kids riding on their own. (I had my 11 and 9 year old riding by themselves). He seems like a very nice guy, but the whole time he was complaining that he already dealt with kids that morning and the slow horses had been used so he didn’t have slow horses for us to put the kids on. The second hurdle was that his horse was not listening, I think he might’ve been a young horse that wasn’t as broken-in as his usual horse. He said his horse was hurt, so he couldn’t use it and he had to ride a horse that was “nuts.” There were horses that were in the back that he had swapped so I don’t know why he couldn’t switch his horse to different one. He kept having to smack him and pull the reins to try to get him to keep going on the trail because he wasn’t listening. This wouldn’t have been a huge issue, but he insisted in holding a lead to lead my daughter’s horse since she was riding on her own. (he suggested my son go ride with my husband doubled up) His horse kept moving abruptly, and I felt like it was more of a safety issue for my daughter to be near his horse so I asked him to let go of the lead, and have her ride by herself without him pulling the horse. She seemed to do much better without him holding it because, thankfully, her horse (Diamond) was cooperative and chill. The whole time he seemed very frazzled and worried. Although it is understandable for him to want us to have a good experience with the horses and for everyone’s safety, I think that him having a different horse and there being better communication when booking a riding session would’ve made for a much better experience. The whole time we pretty much felt like a nuisance, and I felt sorry for him. He suggested that we get a partial refund because our experience wasn’t as great as it should’ve been since we didn’t have the correct horses to have a smooth ride. When I communicated with the owner, they just said thank you for letting them know and they didn’t offer any sort of compensation or refund. In future, if we were to do this experience again, it would probably have to be with a different guide, but I don’t think that I would come back to this Ranch I would try somewhere else. On a positive note, the views were amazing, the horses that we had were pretty chill and kept trying to eat, but other than that they didn’t cause trouble. They had helmets for us if we needed them and the guide was upset, but he was apologetic the whole time."
"One of our stops for a Birthday vacation in the mountains. We did the around the ranch ride. The staff are super friendly. The horses are all calm and beginner friendly. But not total dead heads either. We had both beginner and intermediate riders in our group. I liked that they do not have a weight limit. My son couldn't participate in our trail ride at a different place last year because he's 270 lbs. We rode about 4 hours with a lunch break for an hour. The food was excellent and margarita pizza was just the thing, not too heavy since you're getting back in the saddle. If you're not experienced in trail riding they have shorter rides to choose from. But I highly recommend the around the ranch ride if you like trail riding. Would love to come back and do this in the fall when the leaves are changing! Thank you Mountain Top Ranch for an unforgettable experience!"
"We had a great time. We went in May. There are many stables you can pick from in the area but after researching them I found that most were in the actual Shenandoah valley which meant that a trail ride there might look like a trail ride back home in RI and we're in the area for the amazing vistas the mountains provide and pictures on their website showed some of these. It is the reason we selected this one and we weren't disappointed. A couple of things to note. I brought this point up while we were getting mounted up and the guide told me he was planning a trail through the woods but would alter it for us to take us to the mountain top. Really glad I mentioned it. Second point is the access road to the range is a rough dirt road. My small sedan was challenged and i wish I had my SUV instead. Just fair warning to not try the drive in a low rider or in bad weather."
"The best experience of our entire vacation. Breathe taking views and just an all around great time with family. Our tour guide Liebert was very friendly and extremely helpful the entire ride. We are 100% satisfied with no complaints at all. I 100% recommend. You will thank yourself later."
