Kay El Bar Guest Ranch

I loved the Western/ranch atmosphere. For me, it was perfect. There were no TVs, and the lodge rooms couldn't be locked from the outside...no key! It made you feel like you were part of a big family. The food was excellent. We met people from all over the world. We didn't ride horses, but took a UTV tour and did some shooting. The wranglers were very helpful, and it was so interesting learning about their way of life. Note: Check the schedule. Not every activity is offered every day.

It is a beautiful, rustic property. Very comfortable accommodations and a great staff. Thoughtful bed and breakfast set up. They have various activities, very relaxing as well.

Awesome get away. Staff was nice & hospitable. Food was amazing. Bed was the most comfortable I’ve been in for years.

Live the ranch feel. Great food. Quiet. Horses to ride and visit with. Walking trails. Peaceful and relaxing.

I haven’t felt this rested in a very long time. Staff was amazing, accommodations were just what you’d expect from a ranch but better! Will definitely return with the entire family.

Staff wonderful, short distance to old downtown. Horse back riding wonderful. Archery and hiking fun!

I would like Snickers in snacks or beef sticks. TV in common area would be good. Otherwise, great.

You can’t beat the location to find out what living on a real Arizona ranch might be like. Wonderful staff, fun guests to meet, delicious and plentiful food (thank you chefs!). Large grounds to walk around and plenty of daily activities such as horseback riding, archery and shooting right here onsite, perfect even for beginners, though experts will have a fine time too. The lodge is gorgeous with a big fireplace and lots of artifacts, some from the original 1908 homestead I imagine. We were awarded the first and only day of rain since August, and were thankful to see how the plants and terrain adjusted. We especially give a shout out to Kaitlin and her husband Justin for their warm hospitality and helpfulness, and all the others were lovely too. There happened to be a glitch in the heating system one morning, but the staff and their expert vendors had it completely resolved by dinner time, very prompt and “on it!” Lots of important skills here. You will have a wonderful time, and they will take good care of you.

The dude ranch experience was unexpected and fun. We were looking for a 3 day stay at a traditional motel to visit family. Staff was very attentive and freindly. While we didn't do many activities the environment was a great deal of fun. The great room (joint living room) with fireplace was realy special. THe chef was excellent each meal was so delious and unque in many ways. The beds do need upgrading particularly for seniors. They need to tend to some safety issues as many of the outside ground lights were not working making it hazardous to walk the walk ways after dark.

Our first guest ranch in a nice city: a typical hotel, which allows you to disconnect and enjoy the ranch atmosphere. We had a great horse ride, with great horses. Breakfast, lunch and dinner also great. Stay a little expensive but definitely worth it. We loved it and we felt at home.

Rooms were a little "in their own juice" but that is not very important: we had an excellent stay, in a very comfortable place, the beds were very clean, as were the bathrooms.
