Vacationer Feedback

I just wanted to drop you a brief note and thank you for making the Sierra Ranch Retreat experience possible for my family. The setting is breathtaking, the amenities are way over the top, and the support staff is absolutely wonderful. What great memories for my entire family.

There is no exaggeration when I say that the week at Sierra Ranch Retreat will be a cherished memory of mine for the rest of my life.

The sweeping meadows, winding river, hand built split rail fences, the log home so intimately designed and built, renovated historic structures, all the toys one could ever dream of having, ponds waiting to be fished and acres of forested land that seems to go on forever. Thanks for sharing a lifetime of memories!

I wanted to take a moment and thank you personally for our beautiful experience while visiting the Sierra Ranch Retreat.

The setting is absolutely beautiful, with the lush pine trees, the beautiful meadows and streams and the towering mountains. We were pleased with how easy it was to get there from the Sacramento or Reno airport. The log lodge was exactly what we envisioned in a mountain retreat with its towering ceilings, large fire places and cozy furnishings.

Of all the amenities and activities, our family favorite was the rope swing over the lake and the beautiful ATV ride up in the mountains. All of us enjoyed the gourmet food; the meals were fantastic, and the luxurious attention to detail in each of our rooms will not be forgotten.

While all of that was certainly delightful, the highlight was the time we spent reconnecting with each other as a family and our time together with the Lord. It was clear from the onset that the focus of the staff was ensuring we had the opportunity to reconnect with each other and with our Lord, all the while, enjoying the 5 Star experiences.

On behalf of our entire family, thank you for one of the most enjoyable retreats we have experienced together in recent memory.
