This place was fun. Loved the horses, the horse drawn buggy ride, the hot chocolate, and the people were nice and friendly. Worth the time and would go again.

We had such a wonderful night ride, unfortunately we didn’t have any snow, but the staff was still amazing and made our evening special. The horses was so calm and friendly and the hot chocolate was amazing. The drive out seams uncertain but overall was easy to get to and close to town. I wish I could remember our drivers name, but she was from Texas and very knowledgeable and professional about the horses and area. Glad she was able to make out night special!
