Ranch at Ucross

What a fabulous place to relax and unwind after a long coach trip out of Yellowstone. Only regret being we only had one night here and not two. Such a stunning location with views of rolling fields and horses out our room balcony. Loved the natural wetlands as we drove into the Ranch which offered a wonderful sanctuary for the bird-life. A little slice of heaven and did I mention the food ... absolutely yummy.

Beautiful setting we just didn’t have enough time to take full advantage of the facilities. However I did get some nice photos. The facility apparently was previously used as a company’s retreat for employees. I bet it provided a beautiful and productive site for thinking about what comes next!

This was a multigenerational stay at Ucross which is important to note because there was something for everyone. The owners (? I think) were the best, so friendly, informative and accommodating. The rooms are huge, and while we had two people per room, they would have been big enough for four. The room itself was clean, but the garbage from the previous occupants was still in both trash cans, which was kind of gross but fine. There were cats/dogs for the kids to play with, other animals to see, fishing for whoever wanted to fish, swimming for whoever wanted to swim (water was very warm), and hot tubs to enjoy. The food at dinner and breakfast was a solid good, and the bar was enjoyed by the adults in the party. After dinner, we were set up with a much appreciated camp fire and smores, which made the evening really special for all. The main downside was that we only had one night there, each of us commented we wished we could stay longer. We would definitely go back.

Staying at the Ranch at Ucross was the worst night of our vacation! The ranch was rundown and the amenities were clearly not as stated! Horseback riding was merely an adult pony ride and the grounds were neglected. Upon checking in we were told to be down at the buffet breakfast early or there may not be sufficient food left and they "don't refill." Things got worse when we were rudely treated by a bus tour guide at the dinner buffet who was then supported by the manager of the ranch (who of course, relies on these large groups). Luckily we only had a one night stay at this unfriendly ranch!

We had this stop on a group tour. We were delighted with the real ranch setting. Our rooms overlooked a horse filled corral. Our bartender served the most delicious Wyoming Mule drink, our buffet was delicious and the branding experience was quite informative. The scenery surrounding the area was breathtaking and our hosts couldn't be more accommodating. Don't hesitate to stop here -- you won't be disappointed!
