Amazon.com Review

They call it a guide, but it's more of a requisite manual for anyone who loves the outdoors and all it offers, but prefers to enjoy it from a ranch verandah rather than a tent. Gene Kilgore describes in detail the guest and resort ranches, fly-fishing ranches, and cross-country skiing ranches from Arizona and North Carolina to Montana, Alaska, and Alberta, Canada, with listings by state and by interest, and the facilities, fees, food, accessibility, and children's programs of each, and pictures of most.

My wife and I purchased this book to search for a ranch vacation. It has been on our coffee table ever since. There are about 200 pages worth of color pictures. Some of these resorts are just beautiful. We can't wait to actually go on our vacation. This book has been great in helping us plan our trip.

I own two editions of this book and love them! This book helped me locate the environment I was looking for on three occasions. So far the descriptions have been accurate and fair. I have not been disappointed. The pictures are beneficial in the decision process as well. Give it a try!
