Horseback Riding

The property owner was very pleasant and accommodating. Great riding instructor, my son was galloping around the property feeling confident within 30min, the total ride time 1.5hr @ a reasonable price. The tiny house was tinier than I expected, but very clean inside, and stocked with all necessities for a comfortable stay. I did expect the house to be a little secluded in the woods, but it all worked out. Being surrounded by all the horses, watching them graze & "Horse-Around" (LOL) was AWSOME. You could hear them romping around the property making their horse noises was AWSOME. We will definitely stay again if we book any more trips to Oklahoma. Thanks for the hospitality.

Dina, Thank you for such a thoughtful review! It was a pleasure meeting your family, and I'm especially happy to hear how much your son enjoyed the horseback riding experience. Watching someone grow in confidence while spending time with the horses is one of my favorite parts of what I do. I smiled when I read about the horses surrounding the tiny house. They certainly like to make sure guests feel welcomed, and they often become one of the most memorable parts of a stay. Thank you for your kind words about the ranch and my hospitality. I'm grateful you chose Redbud Falls Ranch for your getaway, and I hope the next time you're traveling through the area, I'll have the opportunity to welcome your family back for another unforgettable visit.

This cute little cabin was cozy and clean. There 3 are sleeping areas: a counch that folds out into a king size bed and two loft areas. It has a nice size shower. The property is well maintained, spacious, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There is a sitting area close to the cabin with two Adirondack chairs and a small table. We sat there for breakfast and dinner, watching the horses. There is also a pergola and a pinic table. The night sky was amazing. The second night we could hear an owl.There are many different colors of horses on the property, and they walk up to the cabin. Two donkeys roam with the horses. They also have a flock of sheep. There are 2 very friendly kitties. One will greet you at your door and sit in your lap. The property is easy to navigate. Our host was very responsive with communication. This property is close enough to Gainsville to have security if there was an emergency you could get help, but far enough away that you can't hear other people.

Rhonda, Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. I loved reading about your experience and noticing all the little details that make the ranch special—from the horses visiting the cabin and the friendly kitties to the peaceful nights, beautiful sunrises, and even hearing an owl in the distance. It means so much to know you felt both relaxed and comfortable during your stay. Thank you for your kind words about my communication and the property. My goal is to create a place where guests can truly slow down, enjoy nature, and make lasting memories. I'd be delighted to welcome you back to Redbud Falls Ranch whenever you're ready for another peaceful escape to the country. Warmly, Melanie
