The property is absolutely beautiful, and spotless clean. The horses were great fun to watch outside our deck. Very quiet, but be prepared to go without television. Good time to catch up on some reading

Lovely Ranch
Pros:

Lovely ranch with good lodges. A lot of the rooms had 2 queen beds but there were a couple with 1 bed and a sofa bed. No coffee makers in the rooms. Dinner was good but breakfast wasn’t so good. Beautifully kept horses. Has a tiny outdoor pool to sit in and cool down not for swimming but would be great in the hot sun.

Wonderful relaxing stay
Pros:

The staff is all extremely nice and helpful. Beautiful location. We had a nice relaxing stay in the middle of a busy National Parks vacation. Bailey, the manager is fantastic and works hard to make sure guests are happy. Had a fun horseback rise, which I had never done before.

A Great Stay!
Pros:

My husband, daughter, two grandsons and I spent a night at the ranch. We had a wonderful stay! The views were amazing, the food was delicious and my two grandson enjoyed spending time playing tennis and basketball. I left my wedding band in the bathroom and Balleigh mailed it back to me within the week. I was very grateful for her excellent customer service!

Wonderful hospitality in Wyoming
Pros:

What a fabulous place to relax and unwind after a long coach trip out of Yellowstone. Only regret being we only had one night here and not two. Such a stunning location with views of rolling fields and horses out our room balcony. Loved the natural wetlands as we drove into the Ranch which offered a wonderful sanctuary for the bird-life. A little slice of heaven and did I mention the food ... absolutely yummy.

Beautiful location
Pros:

Beautiful setting we just didn’t have enough time to take full advantage of the facilities. However I did get some nice photos.
The facility apparently was previously used as a company’s retreat for employees. I bet it provided a beautiful and productive site for thinking about what comes next!

Worth a stay
Pros:

An oasis with friendly welcoming hosts, a nice dinner and breakfast. A crystal clear pool all on spotlessly groomed grounds. The rooms were immaculate and comfortable. The history of the ranch gives even more reason to go.
If it fits into your travels check it out.

Awesome choice for a multigenerational family stay
Pros:

This was a multigenerational stay at Ucross which is important to note because there was something for everyone. The owners (? I think) were the best, so friendly, informative and accommodating. The rooms are huge, and while we had two people per room, they would have been big enough for four. The room itself was clean, but the garbage from the previous occupants was still in both trash cans, which was kind of gross but fine.

There were cats/dogs for the kids to play with, other animals to see, fishing for whoever wanted to fish, swimming for whoever wanted to swim (water was very warm), and hot tubs to enjoy. The food at dinner and breakfast was a solid good, and the bar was enjoyed by the adults in the party.

After dinner, we were set up with a much appreciated camp fire and smores, which made the evening really special for all.

The main downside was that we only had one night there, each of us commented we wished we could stay longer. We would definitely go back.

Horrible Experience!
Pros:

Staying at the Ranch at Ucross was the worst night of our vacation! The ranch was rundown and the amenities were clearly not as stated! Horseback riding was merely an adult pony ride and the grounds were neglected. Upon checking in we were told to be down at the buffet breakfast early or there may not be sufficient food left and they "don't refill." Things got worse when we were rudely treated by a bus tour guide at the dinner buffet who was then supported by the manager of the ranch (who of course, relies on these large groups). Luckily we only had a one night stay at this unfriendly ranch!

Don’t Stay Here!
Pros:

This is Not a dude ranch. It is a tired group of bungalows in need of renovation located in a large field. What dude ranch has almost no activities and only a few horses?
My group was also treated very poorly by the owners while they provided preferential treatment to their repeat large tour bus group. The buffet dinner was in line with the hotel-lousy!
This is not a dude ranch experience in the West. Needs a lot of renovation, activities and much more courteous owners!

Accommodations, Drinks, Dinner, Branding -- What an Outstanding Experience
Pros:

We had this stop on a group tour. We were delighted with the real ranch setting. Our rooms overlooked a horse filled corral. Our bartender served the most delicious Wyoming Mule drink, our buffet was delicious and the branding experience was quite informative. The scenery surrounding the area was breathtaking and our hosts couldn't be more accommodating. Don't hesitate to stop here -- you won't be disappointed!

Pros:

The site is beautiful but the level of service is very low.
We learnt only a few days before checking in that we could not stay 3 nights but only 2 although we had made a reservation through Expedia several weeks before...
We were also very disappointed that horse riding was almost not possible, and that the swimming pool was available only a few hours a day.
The same dinner was served two days in a row.
There is not even a laundry service on site.
All of this is very disappointing regarding the high price we paid (600 dollars/ night).
It seems that Ranch at Ucrosss is focused on groups more than individuals (every night a bus was coming to fill in the ranch and all activities are planned according to this bus).
Furthermore, the staff was most of the time not helpful at all. We said several times that we were not satisfied and there was absolutely no reaction from the ranch managers.
We were also surprised that our bank account was debited for the price of 2 nights even before we arrived in the ranch.

An All American Ranch
Pros:

Great scenery, very hospitable. This was Day 4 or our tour and it was a relaxing spot.
The bar was excellent and Charlie knew how to pour them. The room in the main building was like living in your grandmother's house and it was musty until you turned the a/c and fan on for awhile. I would have preferred to stay in the new lodging by the pool. Horseback riding and fly fishing were offered. Had a great dinner and breakfast buffet style.

Great Scenery, Excellent Food and Horseback Riding, too
Pros:

We stayed at The Ranch at Ucross during a bus tour. The accommodations were very good. The meals and service were excellent. We got a chance to go for a short horseback ride, too. Nice location with excellent scenery.

Our favorite!
Pros:

We arrived at the ranch with a tour group. We were able to go horse back riding before dinner. I can say without a doubt that the food on the ranch was the best food we ate during our entire trip out west. By far! We only stayed one night but it was great. We had breakfast before we left which again was fantastic! The staff was friendly and helpful. I'm pretty sure the ranch was voted the best stop by all of us at the end of our tour.

Brilliant
Pros:

Arrived to a very relaxing and peaceful place. The owners were fantastic and very accommodating. Food is tasty varied and brilliant. We enjoyed a fantastic horse trail with the wrangler who was very attentive and patient (especially great if you have not had a horse ride before) the views are just breath taking. A lovely porch area to sit and relax. A swimming pool and TV room with air conditioning. We enjoyed our room it was clean and well presented. WiFi available. The owner was so kind on ensuring we had our packed lunch to take away with us when we left for our next destination. There is a tennis and basketball court as well as volleyball. This is a friendly homely and accommodating place which obviously cares about its guests. Would go back.

Amazing place with wonderful hosts
Pros:

My wife and I stayed here for one night in August as part of our Western Cowboy holiday. It is in a beautiful, rural setting of Wyoming and felt like we had stepped into a John Wayne film.

The accommodation was beautiful, the food excellent and the ride was the best we have done (and we've done a lot of riding on holidays.)

Special thanks must go to Eric and Vickie: they are wonderful hosts, accommodating, friendly, incredibly helpful and humble. They made the stay a real joy and we are grateful to them for providing such a memorable part of our holiday. We shall be back!

Beautiful tranquil setting
Pros:

We stayed here as part of our Insights tour - what an amazing, tranquil spot in the middle of nowhere. After dinner we were treated to Smores at the campfire and entertained by a local trio of singers. Despite the cold it was fun and we had blankets to keep us warm. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good and plentiful. We went horse riding in the morning and given that neither of us had ever ridden before we were well looked after by the very patient girls leading the horses and by the placid horses themselves.
