‘Cheyenne’: Ranch Apt w/ 50 Acres by Raystown Lake

Reviews

• Fishing trip

  4/5

  Overall the Urban Saddle Ranch was an interesting and cozy place to stay in the woods! Accommodating and friendly with all necessities met.

  That being said, the main issues came with being in the woods! First issue was the HUMONGOUS spider in the bathroom!! Leg span was 3 inches easily and while it was probably a wolf spider, it looked almost like a small tarantula!! Then, started noticing all the other bugs and ants which led to a lot of preemptive screams due to the spider encounter. After that, found mouse droppings along the baseboard of the bathroom and headed out into the living space…keep ur food stored tightly away!!

  The owners were kind in helping us check in late and were good at keeping an eye on who was on the property but being courteous. The fire pits would have been awesome to use but it rained! Also not as close to where u WANT to be on the lake for fishing and boating.

  There are free range ducks and turkey so caution with bringing any birddogs!!

  I picked Monique and Bob's because of the location, and because I am a fellow animal lover. Monique was awesom and our cabin was so comfy and cozy and rustic.

• Stay during SAR summit

  3/5

  The location was very quiet. The place was clean but a little musty smelling. And although i have washed my blankets, the smell lingers. Please note it does say no heat, but i was surprised since they are renting it when the temps are in the 40's they dont provide more blankets. There is one thin one and i failed to find others. Thank goodness i had thought to bring my own, though not heavy enough. It was 32 degrees at night and i ended up sleeping in my sweats.Word to wise: check the weather and bring appropriate blankets.

  I was there for a search and rescue summit at Raystown Lake (which is 30 mins away btw) and i had my dog which is allowed at this ranch. I know it is a ranch, but just surprised that the ducks, geese and peacocks all roam freely which drove my dog crazy since there was a couple of them that seemed to like to stay near our door. And when i leashed walked my dog, the peacocks seemed to want to closely follow us. It madefor a more hasty walk since my bird dog wanted to constantly chase them.
