Rocking Horse Ranch, Highland, New York

An all-inclusive, all-seasons resort, Rocking Horse Ranch makes for a wonderful family getaway. If the family enjoys outdoorsy adventures, they will appreciate the variety of activities offered by this multi-faceted resort. In the summer, enjoy an indoor water park, kayaking, beach volleyball, hiking trails and many organized family games. During the colder months, Rocking Horse turns into a winter wonderland, offering sleigh rides, skiing and ice skating. Of course, a ranch would not be complete without horses. Trail riding programs start at age seven. If parents want a little time to themselves to enjoy the gardens or spa, children will be happy to attend a kids’ club, which offers supervised activities for children up to 12 years of age. When families finally get around to sleeping, they will enjoy rooms that can accommodate up to six individuals comfortably. No cramping allowed in these spacious lodges that offer cable TV, Wi-Fi and a refrigerator. Upon waking, an all-you-can-eat breakfast awaits, and so does another day of adventure at Rocking Horse Ranch.
