House manager made our trip a wonderful experience.

Our family spent a blissful week at Mackenzie Ranch and we cannot wait to go back. The ranch property itself is unparalleled. Miles and miles of gorgeous trails begin just steps from the home. You can take a short hike that will wind you through gorgeous aspen groves, or a longer trek that will take you to higher places of breathtaking beauty. If you prefer to enjoy the trails on horseback, there is a kind and extremely knowledgeable wrangler available for trail rides. Back at the house, a friendly fox may greet you on the driveway; you will wake up to elk grazing on the hill behind the guest house; and if you're lucky, a black bear will peek in your window. If you prefer the water, the house also sits on a lake with two pontoon boats ready for use. Inside the home, our children spent hour upon blissful hour exploring the secret passages that wind brilliantly throughout the house. They swam daily, jumping through the waterfall that flows between one of the passages and the swimming pool. When everyone was tired, the family sat in the library or played chess in the great room, or enjoyed the view from the inviting porch swing. Each member of our family, ranging in ages from 18 months to 73 years, had an incredible week. Robbin, the house manager, was integral to every experience we had. She is quite possibly super human and accomplished the largest and smallest tasks with incredible ease. She organized white water rafting and fly fishing with the most knowledgeable and experienced guides in the area and simultaneously made sure we woke up every morning to freshly baked croissants and fresh flowers in every room. With her help, we dined at incredible restaurants, enjoyed a delicious meal cooked by a local private chef, discovered hiking trails, and never went hungry for even a moment. To say Mackenzie Ranch is a special place is an understatement. It is quite possibly one of the most uniquely beautiful places in the world.

Our family of 17 people, ranging in age from 62 years old to three months old, spent a glorious week at this property. And what a week it was!! We cannot say enough good things about this property. We have run out of superlatives to describe our experience. The house is beautiful, of course! And there were several sitting areas so that if we wanted quiet time we could have it. But the porch with its porch swing was a favorite gathering point. The view!! The children were so busy all week with swimming, horseback riding, fishing, play-acting, running, discovering all the books and crannies (**wink**) in the house that they never once opened up an electronic device or turned a television on. The kitchen is filled with absolutely everything we needed to cook several meals there (another favorite). The housekeeping services were just perfect. And the house manager, Robbin, is second to none. She answered innumerable emails we sent leading up to our arrival, she received packages for us before we arrived, she did ALL our grocery shopping for us prior to arrival (it was a huge shopping list), and she arranged for special breakfast treats for us. All the while, Robbin arranged outings, answered a million questions, and often helped out when a baby neeeded to be held. Our entire family said it was the best family trip ever and we all want to go back!!!

This is truly a fabulous place to spend your vacation! From the wonderful hiking trails to the multiple mystery entrances into the passage ways between the walls of this unique property, there is really nothing left to ask for. Robbin, the ranch manager, is an outstanding chef. The lunches she prepared made the return from our morning activities (hiking; horseback riding; golfing; horseshoes, boating, etc.) an event of great anticipation. They are truly delicious! The view of the lake and the nearby meadows make the time spent amazingly relaxing and enjoyable. Often we would see elk, bears and other wildlife right from the kitchen windows. In the evenings we watched movies in the theatre, played pool or table tennis, or spent time reading in the two story library. Overall, I would highly recommend this property for an incredible luxury getaway!

This wonder filled home is so quiet and peaceful you'll think the world has gone away. I have put this at the top of my to do list annually. Oh ya, the company was pretty good too!
