Perfect!
We loved absolutely everything about the Wilson Ranches Retreat. Very comfortable stay, an amazing, delicious breakfast, and what a location - talk about getting away from it all:)
Best of all…the people. Kara and Chantelle made us feel like family.
What a great place- so quiet. The owner took time to chat with me for 15 minutes when I checked in. I slept great and really enjoyed drinking coffee on the deck in the morning with the picturesque backdrop. Thanks, I'll be coming back.
Kara and Brian made us feel like family. They are sweet and accommodating. The Homestead room was roomy, beds were comfortable. Trail ride was so much fun. Loved every moment spent there and can’t wait to go back

Beautiful setting, welcoming staff, great breakfast, and all amenities thoughtfully supplied. The only thing that was not perfect for our party of three seniors and a son was that the private bathroom for our upper floor suite was on the lower floor and was accessed by passing through one of the upstairs bedrooms, and down a flight of stairs and the downstairs common room. However, the description did note bedrooms upstairs and bathroom upstairs, so it was my fault in not noticing this before I made the reservation. Everything else was perfect.
We had an awesome stay at the ranch. They are located a little away from Fossil on farmland. This is family owned and well cared for ranch in a gorgeous canyon. Very quiet - no human noise, just birds and cows, horses are really quiet. Breakfast was good, you can ask to have it earlier and packed to go. Great place to explore all John Fossil and painted rocks locations.

It was beautiful area and very quiet. The cattle yearlings were fun to watch. It is a bed and. Breakfast as in you have a room and shared spaces. You have to walk through these shared spaces to go to your assigned bathrooms. our room had 2 beds and 2 hard back solid yucky chairs to watch tv. Did not like the shared space thing
Superbe accueil, breakfast généreux et sympathique. La cuisine pour les hôtes ainsi que les barbecues à disposition sont bien pratiques.
Balade à cheval y compris pour les débutants.
Superbe ciel étoilé.
Nous n’avons malheureusement pas pu voir l’activité du ranch car ce n’était pas la période (troupeau en pâturages)
Such a wonderful place and nice people. The delicious breakfast delivered to your door. It’s a convenient location to 3 units of John Day Fossil Beds NM.
We had a delightful time staying at the ranch and exploring the National Monument area nearby. Our interactions with the hosts were invaluable, it’s not every day you get to learn from local experts. A unique and fun time 🙂
I love fhe location. Its in tge middle of nowhere and you titally enjoy loneliness and quietness all by myself. Plusm we Love the freshly homemade breakfast the next morning.
One of the mattress should be replaced by now.
Leuke ranch met veel oude details.
Het ontbijt is goed en gezellig met andere gasten en de eigenaresse.
De ranch ligt heerlijk rustig tussen de bergen.
Paardrijden kan vanaf de ranch, je kan vanaf een uur tot de hele dag rijden. Zelfs zonder ervaring ga je door de bergen, alles onder begeleiding.
Echt een aanrader.
Enjoyed our overnight stay. An interesting place with a great staff.
The morning group breakfast was great. Enjoyed the discussion about farming with the family.
