If you are considering a stay at a proverbial "dude ranch" please consider the family-run Hunewill Guest Ranch in Bridgeport, CA. My wife and I stayed there over the July 4th week 2012 and we couldn't be more pleased. The staff are safety concious, but always accomodating to the guests. We were very well fed (can't wait for more buckaroo... More

We all had a terrific week at the Hunewill ranch riding horse daily was the real thing not some stable ride! Based on your ability to manage your horse, you can experience the rare freedom nowadays to be a cowboy and lope through fields jump ditches and feel America at its roots. The kids from 5 to teens just had... More

This is a really special place, where my family has gone for years. It has changed in only good ways (strong coffee, small wifi hotspot) and stayed the same in all the important ways. The most pretty valley under the sawtooth mountains, kids of all ages getting away from TV and plotting skits for the talent show, good food and... More

When I was a child 40 years ago, the best thing in the world was a week at Hunewill Ranch. I am happy to say, I still love The Ranch and my kids agree! This is the perfect place for an old fashioned family vacation. It is true there is no pool or mini fridges in the rooms. But there... More

Me and my family (2 adults + 2kids 6 and 9) stayed at the Hunewill ranch one week on June 2012. This is certainly one of our best vacation ever !!! If you want to experience a dude ranch this is above all the place to go. The landscape is just magic, people are fantastic and make you feel like... More

When I asked my wife what she would like to do for vacation this year, she confided to me that she always wanted to go to a Dude Ranch. Being raised in South Florida, I knew I had a lot of research to do to find the right place. After looking at a gazillion ranches on the internet, we decided... More

We vacationed at Hunewill August 2011, and overall the experience was favorable in terms of the horses, the staff and accommodations. The not-so-wonderful: We went during a time when a family who attended yearly were present, which turned out to be less than ideal for us. Although we were supposed to ride in groups relating to our expertise on horseback,... More

I spent three days in May 2011 with 50kings.com, a group of about 40 digital entrepreneurs, at the Ranch. My first time on a horse, let alone doing all the things (moving cattle etc) that the ranch offers. It was an amazing experience. The staff is over the top friendly, the food, while heavy on carbs and calories, is just... More

For over 30 years, my friend, Cindy, and I had discussed going to a "dude" ranch. We both decided that we wanted an authentic ranch experience. It didn't have to be fancy. We didn't need a pool or televisions. But it did need to be within driving distance of Los Angeles. I began my research, poured over dozens of candidates,... More
