The snow is melting off of Clayton's Ridge. The valley is filled with the sounds of nickering horses and chopping wood. It's time to clear the trails, train the ponies, work on the cabins, and prepare for another adventure filled summer at the uXu! We have so many exciting plans to make this summer better than ever! From the cabins to the menu to the activities, we're upgrading wherever possible! As per usual, we're taking some time at the begining of this season to renovate & update the cabins and the main lodge. In addition, we're looking into updating some of the bathrooms, possibly putting a whirlpool jacuzzi into our honeymoon suite, and maybe even adding a new cabin to the Eastern side of the property! In the dining room, our wine list continues to grow and improve (thank you all for the comments and suggestions... keep them coming!) and, due to tremendous popularity last year, we'll continue to offer "Tuff's Wine of the Day" pairing at each dinner. In addition, we've hired a new head chef and kitchen staff to lead us into this next season (details to follow). We also been looking at some additional fish items for the menu, especially after the popularity of the fresh Tuna and Salmon we found last year. And, as always, we continue to try new sauces, reductions, and vegetable and pasta pairings for the already delicious main courses. On the horse front, we also have some exciting new news: we've gone almost completely to ranch owned horses. Tuff has been intent on purchasing, training, and integrating animals into our herd that otherwise would have been left neglected and ignored. Our amazingly patient wrangler staff has been returning year after year to help these animals become amazing ranch members. We're very happy to say that they'll provide most of the companions to our guests this year. We'll also be offering lots of new specials this year! We have some discounts for returning guests and referals, specials weeks, and, of course, adults-only September and "A Week at a Dude-less Ranch" (our women's only week). In addition, we'll be promoting our local outfitter, JJ, by offering package deals for those of you that would like to try an overnight or 3-night pack trip!* Some things never change though. Tuff, Heidi, Ray (Curly), Tara, Pad, Matt, and Anna will all be returning this year along with our western singer, Tony, and cowboy entertainment trio, Jo, Bo & Phil. The food remains delicious, the staff attentive and courteous, and as always, the western hospitality prevails. We look forward to seeing you all again this year! Happy Trails! *Please click the contact us link or email info@uxuranch.com for more information on specials, packages, and discounts.
