Ranger Roger and Sabina were so hospitable and our kids were delighted with all the animals! It was magical to share their farm life.

Roger and Sabina are great hosts. They made our animal experience wonderfully fun for our grandchildren. Definitely make their ranch a visit when you are in Galena.

I went with my family for horse riding. We came all the way from Chicago and were impressed. We saw all the beautiful animals and took some amazing pics with cowboy hats. The owner is friendly and made us laugh alot!

Recently visited for our daughter’s birthday and had the most amazing experience. Wrangler Roger and Sabina were very attentive and patient with our crazy kiddos who were just filled with so much excitement. Thanks to the most amazing experience and with their kind words of encouragement our girls kept asking to go back for another riding lesson. We definitely plan on visiting again was a 10/10 experience

This was an amazing experience for us! Wrangler Roger was accommodating and got us an appointment with less than 24 hours notice. There were six people in our party, three of them being kids 4, 7, and 16. All three of them enjoyed interacting with the animals and each getting a turn to ride a horse. It was private so it was just us being guided by Wrangler Roger who taught us a lot about different animals on the farm and each child got a turn to hold the animals. The animals were friendly and it was nice to be able to pet them. We also got to interact with their dogs who were so sweet and it was like they were doing the tour with us, we even got to hold and snuggle their dog Simba. We also got to put the kids names on the wall with their height and the date which I thought was a sweet touch for future ventures to Galena. Thank you again for everything Wrangler Roger we definitely will be recommending this to others and hope this review sends a lot of good business your way!

Our family of 6 had a great time. Wrangler Roger and Sabina were so welcoming and accommodating. Seeing our kids ride the horse and hanging out with all their animals was a great getaway. We were welcomed immediately by Wrangler Roger and his lovely dogs. Kids faces lit right up and are excited to be there. It is right on the Mississippi River and saw some beautiful sunsets as well as a wonderful star-filled sky, which was a first for our kids. The rooms were comfortable and it was nice to have our own kitchen so we didn't have to eat out every meal. Just about a 10 min drive to downtown Galena made it easy to explore the beautiful Main Street and just down the road from Chestnut Mountain where we rode the alpine slide and soaring eagle biplane. Our kids already want to plan our next trip there. Highly recommend staying here!
