Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great stay at the R&D Ranch. The property sits in a beautiful area and the leaves were changing colors. The host was prompt in responding to questions. Great location in the hills. ##### Kevin S. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony B. Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best cabin ever! The cabin was so nice. It had every possible amenity. We spent a lot of time on the shady back porch where a small creek runs. They have a fire pit where we roasted marsh mellows. I definitely will be back. ##### Anthony B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krista R. Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely stunning home! This place far exceeded our expectations. The home was stunning. We had a small wedding in the backyard, and it was just perfect. The home was fully stocked with everything! The host and owners are so kind and helpful. Our kids loved the zebra and buffalo on the property. I would give this place 10 stars and would stay again. Thank you R&D Ranch for making our special day magical!! ##### Krista R. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric H. Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The place was beautiful, clean, and perfect for our group. Everyone loved it. One minor glitch was a strange (mildew-like) smell that was in the Master bedroom closet for the first day and a half, but it went away with windows open and fans on before we needed to contact the owners. This was minor compared to our overall experience, and I'm definitely leaving the rating at 5 stars. ##### Eric H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful home! Everything in the kitchen you could possibly need! Excellent communication with the owners! They were helpful and responsive. The only issue for our group was that the bottom floor with the queen bedrooms is that there were no doors to separate the bedrooms. The track was there for a barn door, but no actual door. We had a 2 year old with us and wanted to be sure he could not get up the stairs at night but there was no way to contain him on the bottom floor so we shifted our sleeping plan. The property is in a lovely remote area. We had no issues finding it but Walmart delivery could not.. twice. The second time we caught them at the main road before they drove away. The outdoor space was relaxing and the well maintained. Hot tub was enjoyed as well! Would definitely recommend staying here! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Zion Glamping Adventures](https://www.expedia.ca/Hildale-Hotels-Zion-Glamping-Adventures.h21333915.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Capitol Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Torrey-Hotels-Capitol-Reef-Resort.h13941.Hotel-Information) > > [The "Big House" with..
