Nine Quarter Circle Ranch

We had an exceptional family experience at the Nine Quarter Circle Ranch. We had been dreaming of a dude ranch vacation for years, and this one went far beyond our expectations. The ranch is set in a magical, remote location, far from any road: a true escape into nature. The 127 horses are incredibly well trained, making trail rides enjoyable for all levels. The Kelsey family welcomed us as if we were part of their own : with warmth, generosity, and genuine hospitality. We also loved the fly fishing introduction, with beautiful rivers right in front of the ranch and nearby. A truly special place, run by an amazing team. We leave with unforgettable memories and only one wish: to come back.

We travelled as a family of 5 with 3 kids with basically no riding experience and had a really great time at Nine Quarter Circle Ranch-everything was wonderful from the location, the food & the cabins -but most of all the the people were really great-from the owners, the staff and also the other guests! Not to forget the always patient and well trained horses. The atmosphere is just really special for kids and adults. Loved the daily happy hour before dinner when kids were kept busy by the great kiddie-wrangler and babysitter! Also the Campfire was great with all guests and staff attending..My favourite was probably the line dance - so much fun! I can really recommend this very special place!

My kids and I just visited the ranch in July. What a great experience. We chose Nine Quarter Circle Ranch due to the number of riding options offered for different ages/skill levels. I loved that my rides were tailored to my riding level. My kids all have riding experience as well, and they got to do way more than walk which was so fun for them. The staff/owners are INCREDIBLE. The food was delicious. I loved that my kids had the freedom to explore the premises safely with other kids; very few other trips are structured this way. There were a lot of flies our week. Overall, we really enjoyed our time at the ranch.

Nine Quarter Circle Ranch was fantastic!. The Rough Riders program for kids six to nine was terrific. The kids had a great experience learning about and riding their assigned horses and had freedom to play amongst themselves, away from the parents. The adults also had plenty to do with horse riding options, as well as fly fishing for trout. The cabins were well constructed and the scenery and location were wonderful. The three daily meals were delicious and varied. The entire Kelsey family is involved in the operation and they do a marvelous job. I would definitely recommend Nine Quarter Circle Ranch to anyone interested in a memorable vacation in the great American West!

We had a wonderful experience at Nine Quarter Circle Ranch. The horses are very well trained and gentle. Riders were well matched to their horses to ensure the best experience based on riding abilities. The accommodation was newly renovated and was just the right balance of simplicity and comfort. The food was amazing. We went on the overnight pack ride which was a unique experience with breathtaking scenery. The staff wether wranglers, kitchen, housekeeping were super nice and always willing to help. Our kids are older but we noticed that the kids program is amazing for younger kids with extensive hours so parents can really enjoy the riding. One of the things that stand out is how they make an effort to help guests mingle with changing seating, happy hour and games/activities which was a lot of fun. We highly recommend this ranch !
