It’s in an absolutely dreamlike location, a 60 acre ranch dropped in the middle of a 500,000 acre idyllic forest with over 60000 acres of accessible trails.

We had a great time at the Greenhorn Ranch! Definitely felt like an authentic dude/guest-ranch experience in California’s Lost Sierras.

Staff was always so helpful and courteous, beautiful sights and the horse back riding was amazing. Rode with two of my adult children and it was memorable. Loved it!!!

Riding during the day and line dancing, bon fires, and karaoke at night. Met some great new friends. We were sad to leave and are already looking forward to coming back!

I loved hanging out with guest and employees together in the afternoons before dinner. Waking up to the view of the lake in the morning from our cabin could never get old.
