From the reviews
Incredible Horseback Riding Ranch! This was our 6th visit to this amazing family-owned horseback riding ranch—and it just keeps getting better! We stayed for three nights (two adults and two kids) and tried different accommodations over the years, including ranch rooms and both single and double-room cabins.
Our stay at Circle Bar B Ranch was truly unforgettable! The property is stunning, beautifully maintained, very clean, and it all feels recently renovated. It immediately felt like home! The horseback riding experience was an amazing, breathtaking views of the mountains and waterfalls! The food was absolutely delicious!
If I could give this place a thousand star review, I would. Our visit was absolutely magical from the moment we arrived until we (reluctantly) departed. I cannot say enough about how wonderful, welcoming, and helpful the staff were from beginning to end. The property is stunning.
My company hosted its holiday party at Circle Bar B and could not have been more pleased! It was a truly special experience. The team was thoughtful, professional, and worked hard to make our event memorable. The food was delicious and the rooms were cozy, clean, and unique. I would highly recommend this venue!
Getting married at Circle Bar B Guest Ranch & Stables, Lodging and Events
Circle Bar B Guest Ranch & Stables, Lodging and Events comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
