Cedar Ridge Ranch - Carbondale, Colorado

This review is specifically for anyone considering booking a riding lesson with Merrill…DO IT! Merrill made dreams come true for my horse loving daughter and her best friend. They had the best time and I could really see that Merrill knows exactly what she is doing in her work with such large beautiful animals, and with small beginner children. I’m so glad we were able to gift my daughter this experience and I would totally recommend it to any parent or grandparent of a horse loving kid.

My horseback riding lesson with Merrill was more than a reintroduction to the basics of riding after a long hiatus from the saddle. Merrill was a very attentive instructor who helped me connect with the horse and remember what it means to communicate energetically.

The whole experience was very empowering and almost magical as I truly remembered why I loved being around horses so much in my youth. I highly recommend Merrill as a riding instructor and Cedar Ridge's incredibly well trained, patient and healthy horses!

Just a wonderful place! I came with a friend and our 3 young daughters for a weekend. Pam made us feel so comfortable and well taken care of. The glamping tent we stayed in was so lovely and cozy. There were plenty of fun activities for the children. Highly recommend and we will be returning in the future. Thanks again!

The most special place... We have been riding up and down the valley over the years and finally found Cedar Ridge Ranch. The horses are so very loved, respected and cared for in this peaceful setting. Merrill has a true gift for facilitating connection to self and the world through her beautiful horses, many of whom have been rescued. We learned so much from Merrill and Honey and cannot wait to come back next year. Thank you!

Such a beautiful & fun glamping experience. Great accommodations & well thought through. The only suggestion is it would have been nice to know that the owner’s dogs have free rein to run about which was stressful at times with our dog. While our dog was leashed the majority of our stay, she doesn’t well with dogs unfamiliar to her, approaching her which resulted in a scuffle & having to chase the dogs away several times.

My fiance and I visited the ranch for a weekend getaway to run away from the stresses of our never ending house maintenance issues. The property is an absolute gem. Pam and her family have a piece of paradise out there, and we were so stoked that they shared a little bit of it with us.

They're absolutely lovely folks, and their animals are beautiful, friendly, and so entertaining. All of our worries washed away while we were there. Hope we find the time to make it back one day!

We had a great time at Cedar Ridge Ranch! We brought our own horses up and they had a great space for them as well as some very fun bridal trails around the property. We stayed in the star gazer tent, which is in a great part of the property and the electric blankets were soooo cozy as it cooled down in the evenings.
It was a very fun first time glamping and the bed was very comfortable. My parents stayed in the farmhouse and they also enjoyed their stay. The Tv even had Roku and the internet was very good! Thank you for the hospitality!

We were looking for a different experience, off the beaten track - and this was perfect. We stayed in the Cowgirl Cabin, which was just lovely, and had everything we needed. It felt like home, and it was so QUIET - we hated to leave our little peaceful oasis! The owners were quite nice and welcoming, but also gave us plenty of space. We enjoyed strolling around the property and seeing the animals too. We'll definitely be back if we are in the area again!
