What are clients saying about this? 

Picture
"My husband and I recently spent three nights at Rocking Heart Ranch enjoying their “Ride and Relax.” This was our second stay with them and just when I thought it couldn’t get any better than our first trip, I was wrong! First and foremost, Melody and Doug are the two most kind and genuine hosts. They are welcoming and friendly and make sure their guests have an incredible time. Our mare pulled a shoe while we were riding and Mel went above and beyond to help my girl out. Similarly, Doug is always out and about to help or answer any questions. On our first stay, he helped my husband boost a dead battery for our RV. Their energy is contagious and their willingness to help goes far beyond expectation. Our horses also enjoyed their stay at the ranch! The corrals are spacious and both water and hay are provided nearby. Everything you need to clean up after your horse and flake hay is provided. Camping is right next door to the horses and there are propane fire pits and picnic tables available should you wish. The new natural obstacle course is a fun jaunt right from the ranch and a great opportunity to try out something new with your horse to change things up during your stay. Their new riding arena is also available and accessible (provided there are no clinics taking place) should you need to school or lunge before hitting the trail. The ranch is perfectly situated for riding… or relaxing. Views of the mountains are abundant and proximity to the park couldn’t be any better. Ride to popular trailheads within national park boundaries or haul five minutes down the road and hit the trail from there. The ranch is close enough to drive into Waterton for dinner or after riding to enjoy the lake. Overall, I can’t recommend RHR enough! It was the highlight of my summer last year, and it is no different the second time around. We’re already planning our third trip for the fall and look forward to bringing friends with us to share the experience."  Isobella Cuan as per 5 star google review

"This is a special place. Melody , Doug and Angel are so welcoming and accommodating. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Stayed for a week and loved it. We will be back. 😄" Donna A. as per 5 star google review
