Lodging at our historic family ranch established in 1889

We rented this property to be close to Sheridan and to host our two-year old granddaughter's birthday party. It was perfect. The house had a dining room easily seating 16 even though we only had 8 adults. The kitchen had every gadget and serving piece we needed for a whole week of cooking. The owners were on property and responded quickly to every question. The front porch is to die for along with an everchanging variety of wildlife. The Merchantile in Big Horn has delicious pizza. We waited too long to visit the Brinton Museum nearby, which was closed on Monday and Tuesdays. The downtown area in Sheridan was thriving and great for shopping and dining. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We did enjoy a day trip to Little Big Horn National Park in Montana. We definately recommend this rental.

There is no way to describe the beauty of this place. It's something dreams are made of. You have got to see it for yourself. So peaceful. Grab a cup of coffee in the morning and sit on the porch and just look at the beauty. Also, lots of atv trails in the Bighorns and mountain streams to play in! The owner Sandra and Paul are so humble and truly grateful for what they have. Such wonderful people and so down to earth, so easy to talk to. We are blessed to have met them. We are already planning our next trip back!

It's hard to convey how relaxing this place was each morning. You look out at the awe-inspiring mountain views from the front porch. Sitting and sipping your coffee. The presence of the horses only made it more idyllic. The lodge was amazing inside with plenty of space for the 5 of us to spread out. And plenty of space for the 5 of use to gather in the kitchen, dining, and common areas. The commercial-grade kitchen was fun to cook in and came equipped with everything you could ever need. The owners were congenial and casual. Greeting us on the evening we arrived. They were easy to communicate with before arrival. We're grateful for being able to stay at such a special place!

The location of Canyon Ranch Lodge is idyllic. It affords easy access into the Big Horns, it's 20 minutes from Sheridan and 10 minutes from watching world class polo. We were greeted each morning with breathtaking views of the mountains while we sat on the huge, front porch drinking our morning coffee. One cannot tire of the views no matter what time of day it is. Three horses were ever present to watch along with deer, wild turkeys and sand hill cranes. All of that deserves a five star rating. BUT ~ the lower rating is mainly because of the physical condition of the lodge. Temperatures were in the 90s the week we were there. The upstairs had no vents for AC which made sleeping very uncomfortable. Opened windows at night when it was cooler did not offer sufficient relief. The casement windows on both the upper and lower levels are in poor repair and don't work properly. Opening and closing them was a pain in the butt. There was a wind storm the last night we were there with wind gusts up to 60mph (per Weather History for KSHR). The windows could not be closed from inside; one had to go outside to push them shut and someone from inside would then secure them. The wind was dangerous to be in. The king mattress was reported as having a divot and some toilets left us wondering if they would flush or not flush. Lastly, internet was not accessible to our group with three laptops. In spite of Paul's (owner) efforts to help rectify the problem it never happened. Measures need to be taken by the owners to fix the problems in order for this rental to warrant the asking rate.
