Although we're a small place, every now and then some of the big shots recognize that we're out there doing a really nice job providing a quality, unique vacation experience. Here are some of the awards we've been thrilled to receive recently.
What a nice surprise to receive the letter from Fodor’s announcing that Vista Verde had been selected as a Fodor’s Choice 2006 recipient. Their writers select a list of the best places to visit when traveling to a region, and we were thrilled to be on the list!
It's a pleasure to be a part of the Conde Nast Johansens recommended hotels and inns collection. We've been recognized many times as a nominee for the Most Excellent Ranch category. We won the award several years ago, and are pleased to once again be a nominee for 2008.
We thought it might be a long shot since this is such a large scale magazine, but what a great surprise to be included in their "Best Outfitters on the Earth" online database this year. We are proud to be in the company of many long-established and very high quality organizations providing unique adventures.
We just got our issue of Sunset Magazine with a blurb about the ranch in an article on the Top 10 Smart Vacations. We just thought we were providing a great experience here at the ranch, but apparently we are also adding to our guests' intelligence. What a bonus!
The writer of the story is Jad Davenport who was actually here a couple years ago to put together a piece for Fodors Travel Guide. Jad is a super guy and we really enjoyed having him here at the ranch. He and his girlfriend spent a couple days with us and were so taken by the place that he included us in this piece he put together for Sunset. We are honored and glad to be a part of such a quality publication. Thanks Jad!
