Saratoga is Great!

The host was amazing and very attentive. She helped us find out which restaurants in town were open. Great access to the hot springs and the host gave free robes to use. The wifi did not work for our entire stay

Most Pleasant Stay

Our 3 day visit to Saratoga and surrounds was great but it was our stay with Sierra that made the trip wonderful. She is a very warm, accessible hostess who we enjoyed spending time with and we learned a great deal about horses. The accommodations were perfect and lacked nothing. Our stay was peaceful and relaxing. I whole-heartedly recommend a stay at the Roan Ranch!

Fabulous views, friendly, helpful hosts

We brought our grandson before he started high school. He is 14. He and his Granddad fished but the heat was too much for the males and the fish! Views were georgeous. Property is everything and more. Highly recommend! When we got home to Kansas, grand told us it was his best vacation ever!!!

Trip to Saratoga

We wanted a quick getaway, chose Saratoga, and stayed at the Roan Hill Guesthouse. It was exactly as pictured except that there are now very comfortable patio chairs on the front porch where we enjoyed sitting each evening. Sierra and Bob were helpful in asking if we needed anything, recommending places to go, and telling us about the area but did not invade our privacy. While we were there, we drove past another place that we had considered staying and were SO glad we made the right choice in lodging!

Wyoming stay

We loved this cute bunkhouse - and how close it was to downtown Saratoga and the hot springs. The hosts were so nice and we so enjoyed the horses. A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life!

Great place to stay for fishing

This was my second time staying at Bob and Sierra's VRBO. There is plenty of room to relax, a GREAT view and a fire pit right out front. There was plenty of room to park my raft to float the river. Bob and Sierra are fantastic hosts, the best I have ever had in a VRBO

Wyoming Getaway

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at Bob & Sierra's Ranch property. The property is so relaxing with great views either sitting inside in the rocking chairs or sitting outside on the patio. We were so very comfortable with the accommodations. Bob & Sierra made us feel like old friends. They gave us restaurant recommendations and fishing hole tips. We are already looking forward to a return visit to this wonderful property and to reconnect with Bob & Sierra.

Beautiful ranch setting

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful setting. The guest house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Hosts were very informative about the history of the area and things to see and do. Lots of wonderful hiking trails and two excellent museums highlighting the history of the area. Plan to return for more hiking and exploring.

Our family enjoyed our sumner weekend at Bob and Sierra's amazing place. They are always so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed grilling and an evening campfire after floating the river and attending the brewfest. We will definitely come again!

A Slice of Heaven

I surprised my husband with a trip to Saratoga and being at the ranch was exactly what we needed. From the moment we pulled in and were greeted by our gracious hosts, Bob & Sierra, as well as their loveable pup, Rowdy, and their beautiful horses, we felt welcome and began to truly relax. The entire property is wonderful and has the most awesome views of the Snowy Mountain Range. We spent many an hour on the covered front porch drinking in the beauty of the mountains while listening to the gentle sighs of the horses beside us. And, the stars at night are not to be missed. You can even see the Milky Way on a clear night! The guesthouse is quiet, comfortable and beautifully decorated. It’s stocked with everything you could need…including the marshmallows that you can make as you sit around the fire pit! And, should you decide that you don’t want to cook, Sierra & Bob can direct you to some fantastic restaurants. In fact, Bob & Sierra can help guide you to anything you want to do in the area. They know the area, its stories and its history so well. Thanks to them, we already started a list of things to do the next time we visit, and, in fact, already booked our next stay!
