GUEST COMMENTS

Mr. and Mrs. James Calderwood: "I have travelled all over the world and this past week has been one of the most outstanding vacations of my life. It has been inspiring to live and play amid these beautiful mountains and forests, breathing clean air and enjoying nature."

Mr. and Mrs. Marv Mandery: "This is our 3rd consecutive year and we find that the superlatives become exhausted. We found this to be another extraordinary vacation. The staff is most congenial and cooperative. Our family reunion was most enjoyable and relaxing. We all hope to return. The genuine hospitality contributed to a most memorable week - one which we shall cherish for a long time. Thanks to all of you!!"

Mr. and Mrs. Ray Massey: "One of the best trips we ever had. This was our first ranch visit, but we hope it won't be the last. All of the staff couldn't have been more pleasant, accommodating and fun to be around. They all went out of their way to make us comfortable. The gourmet meals were the best yet, and we have traveled much and have been on five cruises. We will certainly recommend LGR to anyone."

Mr. and Mrs. Howard Sawyer: "All activities were informative and timely arranged. The knowledge of your tour guides cannot be questioned. The rafting and Grand Lake tour were especially enjoyable. The wranglers were very patient with us dudes. The quality and quantity of the food is excellent. I have never encountered a happier staff than you have here. Frederick, our waiter, could not do enough for us!! He, as well as all others, are an asset to your establishment. I would not hesitate to recommend LGR to anyone."

Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Shavlilc: "This was our second year to vacation at the ranch, and again it was spectacular!! Thanks to all the staff, especially Jeff and Paul for making the tours so informative. We appreciated them sharing their knowledge of the area with us as they drove us to the various activities. We were happy to see that most of the activities were the same as last year because those were the things we wanted to do again. As always, the food was great, and the staff can't be beat!!! Finally, thank you, Lloyd, for providing such an enjoyable vacation. It's obvious that you strive to anticipate wants and needs and try to provide activities for people of all ages and areas. You will see us again!! Thanks for everything!!!"

Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Pressler: "What a wonderful week!! We cannot think of one moment that wasn't perfect-the guests, the staff, the food, the activities-all over 100% including everything in the fee is a superb idea. I'd never have ridden a horse otherwise. You are to be congratulated for a superb vacation lodge."

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Durham: "We had a incredibly unique and wonderful vacation due in great part to your excellent staff. Vacationing with a two year old can be difficult, but your staff made it so much easier in many ways. Many thanks for a memorable vacation. Great staff and wonderful food, an excellent value for a family vacation."

Mr. and Mrs. Steve Jess: "We had a fabulous time!  Thank you for making our vacation so memorable!  The kids camp, especially Diane and Amy were absolutely terrific!  Food was outstanding and all the activities were so well planned.  Glenn was super as our guide and driver for the rafting trip.  We especially appreciated Denny's extra efforts in allowing our daughters to take a special horseback ride- it made our trip!  Lloyd, please convey to your staff how much we enjoyed our stay.  The warmth and friendliness and a very accommodating atmosphere made us quickly feel as one of your family.  We thank you so much for the flowers, the champagne, and the cake that all made for a treasured week even more precious.  Thank you also for the complimentary photo session.  Every one of Paul's photos are super!  Thanks to you all, we will be back!"

Mr. and Mrs. Rod Titcomb: “We want to thank you for helping to make our 50th anniversary & family reunion a huge success. From our first greeting from Linda with flowers and champagne to the wonderful food, fishing, horses, and especially the kid's camp, everyone had a great time. We thank the staff for all of their kindness. It was an experience we won't ever forget."

Mr. and Mrs. Herb Smith: "This makes our third consecutive year at the ranch. We are already looking forward to next year. This, in itself, should tell you how we feel about LGR. This year we had our grandchildren with us. A truly family experience can be had here. But what really makes this place work is the staff. Not enough can be said about their courtesy, kindness and friendship."

Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Block: "We can't thank you enough for the thrill of a lifetime! Your hospitality, organization, friendship, and, ah yes, the food blew us right out of the water. We've been fortunate to have taken some pretty exotic vacations, but none will compare to the week you treated us to. Hands down, it's the best vacation we have ever experienced!"

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Connell: "Dear Lloyd: We have had one of our most enjoyable vacations at the Lane Guest Ranch. We attribute most of this to the attitude and professional personal attention given by your staff. We can't say enough about the friendly, attentive nature of your people. The food, accommodations, and facilities were first rate. We would like to single out individuals for our kudos, but they were all so excellent we hesitate to do so. Thank you for this perfect time-we will be back!"

Dr. and Mrs. King: "I could not let the week go by without telling your how very much we enjoyed our week at the ranch. Not only was it an experience that was far above our expectations, but it fulfilled a dream of mine that I never really expected to happen. I looked forward to fly fishing at the ranch, and when Jim took us out and I cast my first fly, I knew that it was everything I had wished for and perhaps a bit more. You have a fine place and we look forward to returning very soon. Again, thank you for making our vacation such a pleasure."

Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Barnard: "Thank you for the perfect honeymoon. Our stay at Lane's was much more than we anticipated. The food was fantastic and the activities were a lot of fun. Not enough can be said about the staff at Lane's. Their kindness and willingness to please projected a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We look forward to future vacations at Lane Guest Ranch."

Mr. and Mrs. Herb Blutenthal: "Over the years, our family has come to Lane Guest Ranch for 5 picture perfect vacations. The location's beauty, the variety of activities, the wonderful food, and Lloyd Lane and his outstanding staff together make for a marvelous family vacation. We will definitely be back again!"

Mr. and Mrs. Mike Wooldridge: "We all had such a wonderful week that none of us wants to leave. The staff was experts at making us feel part of your great ranch. We will be coming back! Charlie was a terrific waiter, Dan was a great bartender, but even better as a rock climbing guide. Glenn, Clarke, Mike and Paul were all friendly, informative, and kind. Thanks for a memorable week!"

Mr. and Mrs. Ron Osborn: "The personal attention and unique activities kept us entertained from dawn to dusk. Ben loved the kids camp; Sam enjoyed rafting and Howard's nature walk, and jewelry making. Everyone did a wonderful job of accommodating our 3 generations. Thank you for your attention to Uncle Jim over the years. It was a pleasure to meet all the folks he has talked so much about and tell us what good hands he is in."

Ms. Linda Nelson: "Another great year-thank you! We enjoyed our 5th visit and as always the Lane Guest Ranch hospitality. We especially want to commend the dedication and warmth of Howard & Eddie. They are both incredibly special human beings. We also appreciated the wranglers. The entire crew worked to make my riding a pleasure. Denny and his crew are the best. I hope that others who rode with them appreciate them as I do, and I've seen many wranglers."

Mr. and Mrs. Mark Brooks "In the course of my business, I have traveled throughout the country. In all honesty I can say that I have never encountered as high a level of service anywhere as is offered at Lane Guest Ranch."
