Guest houses....very old, dirty with very few outlets. They supply extension cords to run between rooms. Haven't been updated in years. Showers were tiny but hot. The general store smelled of cat urine so bad, we had to wash our clothes. Camp sites were next to horse stalls, which made flies very bad. Location is central however to good sight seeing.
The campground is pristine and amazing views plus WiFi at the restaurant and a general store. What more can you ask for!
Large group captured 14 RV camp sites and 5 cabins for up to 5-10 days (thousands of $). Guest Ranch kept 100% of at least 12 nights of funds from those who had to cancel (well in advance) or shorten their trip. My request (as the group organizer/host) for just 1 night’s refund ($40) at the end of my 10 night stay was coldly rejected. My group was shocked that my site wasn’t heavily discounted for all the business I brought them. It does seem like they have become greedy and are not customer focused. Consequently, they have lost thousands of $ of future income. Additionally, while we loved the old architecture, it is significantly run down. I suggest waiting to visit the Nemo Guest Ranch until they get back to a primary customer-focus and fix/improve things.
Nice folks, it got a little crowded on Labor day weekend, but the sites are large enough on the old side close to the store and by the creek that we definetly enjoyed it. the other side is just a parking lot back in style with fairly large spaces and very few trees, but it is close to a LOT of riding areas.
