Review submitted by non-Villarenters customer: Moonbeam Ranch is a magical place.

We loved our two weeks here and felt we really became part of the community. We hope to come back every year to visit our new friends.

Horses and working with the cowboys was a great experience.

The house is lovely! I could spend my time in the hammock all day or grab a horse and ride up the mountain.

Gala and her family were wonderful, not to mention the fresh tortillas I'm still dreaming about....
