Booking and Cancellation Policies

Reservations require a 50% deposit at time of booking to confirm accommodations. The remaining 50% is processed to your credit card on file 30 days prior to arrival. The remaining taxes and any meals or activities purchased on site are payable upon checkout.

Deposit can be made by MasterCard, VISA or other credit card types. Sorry all deposits are non-refundable. We can, however, transfer the deposit to another booking within the same year of the original reservation if a cancellation is received more than 15 days prior to arrival.

Deposit is forfeit if cancellation is received less than 15 days. We recommend you purchase travel cancellation insurance from your travel agent or insurance provider.

Animal Policies

Big Bar Ranch welcomes all kinds of pets at our cabins up to and including cats, dogs, and more.

All animals must be spayed or neutered if they are within breeding range. If your dog is not fixed, please contact the front desk to speak about booking possibilities.

All animals must be kept on a leash at all times unless they are being supervised within your cabin area.

All animals must be up to date on current vaccinations and deworming.

Note: any guest bringing pets must sign an animal liability waiver upon check-in.

Riding Policies

Children must be 10 years old or 4' and 50 pounds to participate in trail riding. Parent-led pony rides in our arena will be available prior to the departure of scheduled trail rides for children too young or too small to participate in the full ride.

Cowboy boots or riding footwear with a smooth sole and a good heel are required for all horseback riding. Helmets are strongly recommended for all ages, and are mandatory for all riders under 19 yrs of age. The ranch has boots and helmets available that can be borrowed free of charge. Feel free to bring your own helmets (bike helmets will do) if at all possible. 

We require height, weight and riding experience at time of booking for everyone intending to go horseback riding. We will use this information to select the best horse for you.

Please note that very large or heavy people may not be able to ride, or may be limited to a walking ride only.

The ranch reserves the right to limit availability of horseback riding due to anything which may, in our judgement, pose a threat to the safety of either horse or rider.

Note: All guest of the ranch will be required to sign a waiver of liability upon check-in.
