We had a great stay at Rainbow Ranch Lodge and loved the beautiful setting!! It felt like we almost had the entire place to ourselves, which made it very peaceful and relaxing. The only downside was the breakfast experience, which felt a bit dry, and a few moments when service was delayed because staff were chatting with other guests. Overall, a lovely stay and we’d gladly return.

No dinner nor was bar opened the night we stayed. The shower didn’t work in our room but we was given key to room next ours to shower. They would have moved us but we was unpacked and setting when we discovered the shower situation so our choice not to move. Other than that and fact I was really wanting to sit at the bar an relax with my husband. It’s not opened on Monday an Tuesday. Absolutely beautiful place!!!
