If I believed the prior reviews for the Family Ranch, I probably would’ve passed…. Glad I didn’t. The owner and his staff were MORE than accommodating and prompt when help was asked for. Here’s our experience: When we entered the property we were greeted by the properties’ animals (4 friendly cows). The “hotel” is actually an old bunkhouse and decorated accordingly. Our sleeping quarters were large and comfortable. 30 seconds on the bed we were unconscious. Whatever we needed was provided immediately. In conclusion: To the owners You have a wonderful idea and property at a very reasonable price. We are looking forward to our next stay
It was short as I came for work purpose. I was well welcomed and the lady was wonderful.
OYO Family Ranch is not your traditional hotel -- it is simple accommodations in a quiet setting, with clean rooms, comfortable common areas and with horses, goats and one of the friendliest pot-bellied pigs you will ever meet just outside the door. It's secure and safe there, there's no bugs that we saw (in May) and you can definitely get a good night's rest for a decent price. So how is it different? There's no pool, no ice machine, no workout area or free breakfast awaiting you as you start your morning. If that's what you need, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a good rest before you get your tomorrow going, you'll find it more than okay. And take a moment to give the pig a scratch behind the ear -- she'll be your best friend afterwards. Lastly, I found the OYO staff to be friendly and helpful. The call center folks at OYO were awesome, and on-site, the fellow who met us was a true delight. There are other reviews with different experiences, but ours could not have been any better.
My honey and I had a very peaceful time. Room was clean and we had access to the kitchen which was nice. I even left my luggage at home and they accommodated giving me a toothbrush and toothpaste. Very sweet owner. Felt like I had known her for years. Kitchen smelled amazing would be a great idea to offer some of that Jamacian food for an upgrade. We ended up staying an extra night. We like to try different places in area so not sure if we would be back however was very memorable thank you for making up feel welcome and your hospitality.
Loved this place. very quiet, beautiful night sky and close to things I'm interested in. staff was amazing. I recommend this place.
I absolutely loved the property, I'm an animal lover , so it was great for me. The owner and property manager were great, they followed up after check in to make sure I had everything I needed and was satisfied. I would strongly recommend staying here if you're looking for serenity and peace of mind.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
