If any one is looking for a unique place to stay other than a "motel" this is the place. Nestled in the woods of the Shoshone National Park just a short distance from the east entrance of the Yellowstone National Park is Crossed Sabres Ranch. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The setting is rustice but safe, comfortable and clean. The guy in the kitchen calls himself a cook, but he is really a chef. I had the best walleyed fish dish I have ever had and the cheesecake is to die for. After meals you can visit with others on large front porch or just sit and enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains. My husband and I took the 2 hour horseback ride through the mountains. It was very safe and enjoyable. Thanks to the staff for a wonderful time. Pkinslow Lebanon, Tennessee

If you are looking for a unique experience other than staying at a "motel" this is the place for you. Nestled in the woods of the Shoshone National Forest just a few miles from the entrance of the Yellowstone National Park is the Crossed Sabres Ranch. This is about as rustic accomdations as you can get and still be safe and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The guy in the kitchen calls himself the "cook" but he is really a chef. He prepared the most wonderful walleyed fish dish I have ever had and the cheesecake was to die for. The large front porch is a great gathering place to visit with other guests or you can just sit and enjoy the amazing view of the mountains. The ranch is very family oriented. My husband and I took the 2hr horse ride one morning and it was a very safe ride through the mountains. We would like to return again some day. P. Kinslow Lebanon, Tennessee

we came across the ranch on the way out of yellowstone. we promised our kids we would take them on a horse ride. the sign said vacancy and horse rides so we stopped. I am so glad we did. everything was great and the hospitality could not have been any better. wished we had found this place when planning our trip. the kids had a ball and loved playing in the creek. Even though we only stayed one night it sure felt like you were surrounded by family and friends. I would highly recommend crossed sabres to everyone. thanks again!!

Bounty, Jo and Crew of the Crossed Sabers,
We had a great time at the ranch and enjoyed meeting the entire crew. Just wish we could have stayed longer. I really enjoyed the cabin and all the great food. Hope to come back next year and do some fishing and more riding. The location of the ranch provides such beautiful views and is so peaceful and relaxing. Tailwinds!

We spent two nights late in June and had a wonderful time. Our granddaughter especially enjoyed the trail ride and the veggie burger you cooked her! We were in the Buffalo Cabin and loved it. This was a great starting point for our exploration of Cody and Yellowstone. Many thanks for a great time.

The food was absolutely wonderful. (recomed trying the cheesecake) The chef is an amzing cook. Cabins are cute and cozy. Bounty and Jo do a great job managing the ranch and hosting the visitors. ( P.S. Bounty, it is an unanimous family opnion, we like you better with your beard. So next time we come back, consider growing it back:) haha) We will definitely recomend your ranch to all our frionds and are looking forward to coming once again.

Dear Jo + Bounty,
Thank you very much for the wonderful time we had at the ranch. We had an awesome time experiencing Wyoming and the respite in the mountains. The scenery and hospitality was great. We will recommend the ranch to family and friends. We drove all the way to Wyoming to see the sights and one of my girls favorite things was spending time with the two cats...Go figure.
Thanks again and good luck for the rest of the summer. Please also thank the staff for us.
Take Care

We had such a fabulous time. Although Yellowstone Park has uncomparable beauty, it played second fiddle to the enjoyment we experienced at the Crossed Sabres Ranch. Tess loved beeing included in the ranch duties, I don't think we could ever top her fun at another dude ranch. Jeff and Logan did an awesome job in the kitchen - we ate more than well. Of course, our family really liked having the cats and dogs to bond with. Jo, Bounty and Hector are such kind, caring people - we felt at home. We are eally glad to have shared the time with Bob + Ebb. That added immensley to the joy of our stay.
