Kelly the owner, so friendly! The staff so helpful, the dinner SO AMAZING AND BEST STEAK! The horse ride was perfect to turning a year older!! The big house so BEAUTIFUL and truly an amazing place to lay low from the city! I've been here a few times as a kid and it was so great going back and making more memories! Hope to go back this year again 🙂

Kelly and her staff are extremely
Kind.
And knowledgeable. The food is my favorite part. The big house is really nice with a pool. The area around the ranch is great for horseback, riding side by sides, and jeeps also bicycling and hiking.

My wife and I were traveling around the Southwest in a van late in 2017 and stumbled upon this place looking for a place to go to ground for Thanksgiving. Both of us having spent most of our lives as farm kids we were immediately drawn to the fact that it was an operational ranch not just a campground. Further we had very little resources and their prices were very reasonable. We met a nice young woman that took care of the place and showed us around. She was incredibly courteous and welcoming and didn't treat us some kind of a way because of the way we looked. In all the years that we have traveled since we have always wanted to return. Never have we been treated so kindly by strangers as we were at bumblebee. All of the facilities were clean, well kept and in good working order. Proximity to stores and stuff, if I remember rightly, was about a half an hour's drive. easy peasy. A word of note. It's a working ranch. If you have children or dogs you best keep an eye on them. They are in no inherent danger but there's plenty of ways they can get themselves into trouble unsupervised. Also the road in was little more than a desert mountain track. If you're asking yourself if you're actually on the road then you're probably on the right road! Plan for a bumpy, Dusty ride from the highway to the ranch. That is unless something has changed. And watch out for speed demons comin the other way! We found not a few!

Thank you so much for the hospitality all those years ago! We are eager to pay a visit again. Maybe we will be able to this winter.

Oh Yeah! You fed us the best steak dinners we had ever had (saying something coming from farm kids!) for Thanksgiving. Somehow you knew we were eating on canned crap or something and surprised us with dinner delivered! We ate those steaks praising God in tears! Ya, it's from the heart. Ms. Kelly, you really are a treasure and that place is too.. We have talked about that place since we left 7 years ago!

We all enjoyed this place so much. Held a small event here with short notice, Kelly was so accommodating and kind. My partner and I stayed in cabin 6, and some of our friends rented campsites nearby.

The ranch itself is absolutely gorgeous, a perfect little sanctuary to get away. The cabin was well taken care of, newly renovated, and had everything we needed. Getting to meet the pigs and the geese on the ranch made me so happy!! Can't wait to come back again, thanks again Kelly!

5 Star horse ride.
This was one of the coolest Experience's I will remember for a long time, not riding a horse before, wasent sure. But the horses are so well trained it was easy we did two hours, I could have rode all day in the beautiful country side. The staff were so nice and accommodating and helpful made us feel safe and there top priority, we could have stopped if we wanted at a hour, but we were having such a great time we wanted to keep riding they also taught us a lot about that area. Would highly recommend them.

This place is MAGIC. You don’t know how many stars are in the sky until you spend the night. Kelly was wonderful; great communication and made sure we had what we needed.
