Fodor's Review:
Day-trippers come here for hair-raising adventure tours, but this 3,706-acre working ranch is also famous for its horses -- all 120 of them -- and its nature trails leading to waterfalls, hot springs, and mud baths. Rugged ranch hands swaggering around give the place a real cowboy flavor. This lodge is the best value in the Rincón area. Rooms are large and pleasantly furnished, with windows front and back to let in cool mountain air. The newer rooms, Nos. 40 and up, are the most elegant and spacious, though a bit of a walk from the restaurant. Avoid Rooms 24-31, right beside the corral, unless you enjoy the aroma of horses. Excellent buffet meals are served in the open-air restaurant, which has valley views. Dairy and beef products come fresh from the hacienda's own herd; vegetarians may have trouble finding meat-free dishes here. Large groups often stay here, but you can always find a quiet trail on the vast, partially forested property.
