★Elizabeth WrightIf I could give this place 0 stars I would. My daughter just returned, and if the flooding hadn't kept her group from leaving, they would have left the first day. The ranch hands were excellent, but the owner is a foul excuse for a human being who was verbally and emotionally abusive the entire week. I'm embarrassed that we invited our family friends to send their daughter, too. The adults in our group spent hours every night trying to help the girls heal from his abusive words and 'joking' threats to hit them. And the facilities were in serious disrepair - the roof of the bunkhouse leaked and was held together with duct tape. When our leaders informed the owner, he said the girls should've known better than to sleep on the top bunk! He blamed every problem on the teens. Even when making a mess in the kitchen, then having one of our Scouts take over, he'd blame his mess on them and make them clean it up. The leaders figured out very quickly that arguig back just made the situation worse, so they did their best to mitigate the damage until the group was able to leave. We are never sending kids here again and will tell everyone we know to stay far FAR away.
