This was the 9th time we have been to RHR in 10 years (Covid year) and we’ll be back next year. My children are now 12,14,16 years old and still love it as my wife and I do. This year we had a Family Reunion which was a smashing success of close to 50 people. Tons of memories and so much fun. RHR a is just filled with so many great activities from sun up to sundown. We had about 20 kids from age 2 to 16 and everyone had something to do. Horse back riding was a huge hit for the newbies. The owner Steve is the most hands on small business owner I have ever met & matched by an equally accommodating staff. The chef bent over backwards for our Aunt with several dietary needs. Just tremendous! In the inflationary environment these days it’s also one of the best price value vacations you can take. Try it in October for Fall Fest with great weather, indoor pool, Halloween activities, Hudson Valley wine and food tasting and so much more .We can’t wait to next year!

We have been meeting at Rocking Horse with friends twice a year for at least 15 years! If that doesn’t show how great they are I don’t know what would . We had other guests come up to us and ask if we were the owners - only to say they treat everyone as if they were! We have a chalk board in the kitchen that starts the count down to the next stay!

RHR is a well-maintained, clean family resort that offers lots of activities for children of all ages and during all seasons. We visited with a 9 and 11 year old, and they loved the mountain tubing, laser tag, archery, indoor/outdoor hot tub, and of course the trail rides. We liked that the grounds are somewhat compact and easily walkable, with the main building having everything from lodging to the dining room, arcade, and swimming pool. With older kids like this, we had a lot of flexibility in that they were never far from us, but had the freedom to go to the arcade without us if they finished eating before my wife and I were done with our meal.

The staff was generally very good, although the dining room seemed a bit under-staffed, and the friendliness and responsiveness of the waiters and waitresses was a mixed bag. The food was serviceable and mediocre - not terrible but I certainly wouldn't say that it was great.

My major gripe with the resort, which cost it a 5th tripavisor star, is the cost. In the shoulder season of late October we paid close to $2,500 for two nights in a standard room with 2 adults and 2 kids. I recognize that this includes horseback riding, activities and meals, but that is an awfully high price for a 2 night stay.

Overall I very much recommend RHR and we had a lovely time. I just think it should be at least 20 percent less expensive.
