"A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home"

10.0

Tucked away in a stunning, secluded spot, Circle Bar B keeps its old-fashioned charm alive while being impeccably clean and well-maintained. It's family-run and it shows—they truly made us feel like part of the family. Don’t let the price scare you off; the hearty dinner and breakfast alone are worth half the rate. We made the mistake of arriving too close to check-in and missed out on enjoying the pool, lounge, playroom, and cozy library on our arrival date—next time we’re coming earlier and staying longer. It was our first time, but definitely not the last. A new tradition begins!

"Secluded cozy banquet dining with good amenities."

7.0

The meals were tremendous. The staff was friendly and helpful as can be. The game room was cool.

The bunk bed was very creaky and made bedtime difficult. The spur doorknockers are cute but hurt if you bump into them. The library has a lousy selection, mostly readers digest and conservative literature. The power went out in our room and we had to move to another room that was smaller and had ants. The walkway up to the rooms is very steep and if you slipped you'd fall a long hard way. The only music they play is country and western which is not for me.

Very welcoming and homey feel. Like we were visiting out of town relatives.

The room had cobwebs and dusty. I would go again, but would ask that they dust the room and rinse off the building before we came.

"Lovely place owned and operated by a long time ranching family."

10.0

Great food, newly redone rooms are very nice, and friendly staff. We enjoyed it, and would love it to become a tradition.

Unheated pool was a disappointment in mid June, even on a warm day.

The property is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, scenic, and surrounded by nature. Everything was spotless and clearly well taken care of, with a fresh, renovated feel throughout. We enjoyed the horseback riding with a breathtaking view of the mountains and waterfalls. The food was so delicious for the whole family! The kids ate everything which was really surprising for me, they are so picky about food. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi area. It felt like a home away from home. Looking forward to get back and stay the more days, 2 nights was not enough for us!

"Amazing stay at the friendliest ranch. Perfect."

10.0

From the moment we arrived we were treated like one of the family. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The ranch is amazing with lovely horses and character touches fitting with the ranch lifestyle. The meals were delicious and wholesome served with a smile. They even put a bottle of wine in our room for my 60th birthday. The jacuzzi was just what we needed after a great horse ride. Love this place

Nothing. We loved it.

"Genuine Hospitality, Unforgettable Stay"

10.0

We had a wonderful stay at this guest ranch. Our private cabin was recently renovated, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, with soft beds, plenty of space, and modern touches like AirPlay on the TV and easy temperature control. Although there was no cell service, the guest Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, clearly dedicated to making sure we had a great experience. Dining was a highlight. We appreciated the complimentary drink at the bar and looked forward to every breakfast and dinner. We loved the personal touch of a reserved table with our name. As a hobby rider, I was especially impressed by the professionalism of the stables staff and the well-cared-for horses. Riding through the mountains with views of waterfalls and the ocean was unforgettable. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to return!

It would have been nice to have had more flexibility in early breakfast or food options in between meal times.
