Dear Steph, As life has now settled back into a regular routine since the holidays, I wanted to take a moment to write to you. I wanted to thank you all so much for the truly amazing family vacation we had. As I think you know, I had been secretly hoping to come to Vista Verde for a number of years, originally in the summertime, and I was finally able to convince Mike that I thought he really would enjoy a ranch vacation, and he didn't have to get on a horse if he didn't want to! Well, he did get on a horse, Roman, and has told several tales about his riding. But more than that, it was a time when all of us were in a situation where we experienced things for the first time, together, and that was really neat. We felt so well taken care of, in really good hands, for everything we decided to try. The staff is so incredibly accomodating and knowledgeable, and made it all such fun. We loved the meals the food is divine, and the comraderie of meal time. I can't say enough about how wonderful the ranch is, and have intrigued many of our friends---you may find yourself with more Canadians! I will follow the blog once more so that I can stay connected with all that is going on--keep up the great work!! A warm Canadian hello to all at the ranch, and thanks, we will never forget our vacation, and hope to be back again (maybe for a summertime visit). Fond wishes, Monika, Mike, Matt, Jenn and Luke

My "retreat" at VVR was exactly what I needed and more. Though I did not want to leave the comfort, beauty, and adventures of VVR, I made it home rejuvenated and ready to deal with my life?s challenges. Learning to ride renewed my confidence, helped me find balance, and instilled me with courage. Skiing the backcountry gave me the serenity and perspective I was looking for. So many people, staff and guests alike, reached out and made me feel safe and at home. I just want to say again that words cannot express my appreciation for the positive impact that VVR has had on my life. I found my voice and I found great strength. I am bursting with positive energy, ready to take care of myself, and ready to pursue a career that I am passionate about (something to do with the great outdoors and wildlife conservation).
