Kay El Bar Guest Ranch

We had a wonderful stay at Kay El Bar Ranch. Stacey is a fabulous trail guide, friendly, great customer service, cares about the guests. The guest house room was adorable and comfortable, there was a tub, but unfortunately couldn’t use it because there was no plug. Went to use the hot tub, it was broken. We changed to a suite during our stay, it was large, but very outdated. Needed paint- stained walls, ceiling, the fireplace hadn’t been cleaned (looks like ever) and smoke comes straight into the cabin. Not safe, carbon monoxide nightmare. Bathroom was dirty, toilet had pee down the sides and on the floor in front of the toilet. The floor mat was old and super gross. Paying more for that suite, they should fix it up. I didn’t feel like it was worth the extra money. The managers are nice, but very unorganized. They seemed much more concerned with their marketing photography going on then with the actual guests staying there. That was a bit of a bummer, as this place isn’t cheap! James, the breakfast and lunch cook is awesome. Provided amazing breakfasts and lunches that were delicious. He’s also friendly, kind and makes you feel happy and at home. We did have a great time, though it could be more organized. The staff is great, management needs some work and customer service skills.

Awsome place lots of history with the ranch. Very peacefull

The hotel manager Connie, was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much. James cooked us a wonderful breakfast in the morning.

This ranch was absolutely breathtaking!! I couldn’t have pictured it any better. The staff was beyond amazing! The manager, Connie has done a wonderful job running this gem. We had an amazing, home cooked breakfast served to us. Loved the chef ringing the breakfast bell! I didn’t want to leave. Will be back for sure!

The ranch is an excellent place to enjoy a real western experience. You can go out and help groom the horses and meet the wranglers before breakfast. Then everyone on the ranch starts the day with a wonderful, hearty breakfast buffet that has everything you could want. After that, we were off for a two hour horse ride through the surrounding desert. First was looking through the boot box to pick out our riding boots. They have cowboy hats to use too, but we just used our own hats. We are beginners and it was great fun to be on the horses and seeing the views. I rode Destiny and my husband had Cupid. Our wrangler’s name was Biscuit the first day and Dee the second day, and they will help you get all ready to ride and led the way. Afterwards we went to the pool and hot tub to relax. The large ranch living room has a huge stone fireplace, a bar, games, puzzles and plenty of books to read. Lunch is served at 12:30 pm and dinner at 6:30 pm. All the meals were excellent. The rooms are comfortable and nicely decorated with a western theme. If you need anything, Connie and her team are there for you. We will definitely go back.

GREAT. Nice property, No problems except with Expedia booking.

Although we only stayed one night, we really enjoyed our short stay at the ranch. It was a pleasant change of pace from a traditional hotel lodging. It was fun to stay on the ranch and we hope to return for a longer stay in the future.

The ranch staff could not have been kinder, the food was delicious and the trail ride was excellent!

It was our first time at a dude ranch setting. It was awesome. Connie was great and a do it all gal.

Friendly staff. Our room was comfortable enough. The heater could a little stronger, but it worked.
