Comments: "Immaculate, safe facility, clean water, arena close for turn out/exercise. Easy trailer parking and ok to leave there. Nearest town very small, limited services but very reasonable ($22 motel) Warm and friendly reception from owner, Claudia. Lighting good for early 4 am departure and fine with owner but woke up every dog for miles. Very good job being done by owner (and dogs !)". . .(1/19/03) - "Stayed here going west and coming back home. It was just great.". . .(5/3/03) - "Pulled in after dark 11/02, Claudia was right there to meet me. Her facilities handled my draft horse mare nicely, and she turned the mare out in the arena in the morning so she could enjoy the sunshine! We're staying there again on 5/03.". . .(11/14/04) - "Was to arrive at about 10pm. Ran into some problems and Claudia was very understanding. She would call and make sure things were ok. Did not arrive until about 5am, at which Claudia was there waiting for me. I would highly recommend her horse motel and her hospitality. Very clean, had fresh water and food waiting for the horses. A+++++ facility.". . .(5/7/05) - "I would like to thank Claudia for being so kind on our long trip from CA to NC. She was very helpfull with the horses and very nice about us arriving at 2am! I would give her a 10+. She is the best! The horse had a wonderful rest that night.". . .(9/4/05) - "Great place, I wish my place was as nice as this!". . . (9/24/05) - "Claudia was great! She made it very easy for us to hook up and stay in our trailer. Thanks Claudia!". . .(11/14/05) - "Claudia made us very welcome upon arrival and went out of her way with her accommodations for not only my horses, but my dog, and of course myself and my friend. Moving from NC to CA, I tried to make this trip a vacation and Claudia's place was definitely a joy to let my horses recoup before the final leg of the trip! There was such peace of mind, that my friend and I even stayed an extra day to visit the Grand Canyon!! Thanks Claudia, I look forward to staying with you again!". . .(1/13/06) - "We read the reviews on this ranch before we contacted her. They are very true. Claudia is a wonderful person and her facilities are nice. She was extrememly accommodating and we highly recommend her to keep our horses anytime. Thank you again Claudia.". . .(7/4/06) - "We have had the opportunity to stay at Rocky Creek Ranch twice, and are honored to have gotten to know Claudia and know that the care of our horses was of the highest quality. We would recommend this facility to anyone seeking to spend the night in Arizona to stop in, meet Claudia, and know that the care given to both you and your horses would be hard to find anywhere else. Thank you Claudia.". . .(12/12/06) - "Great place to stay with your horses. I was very welcomed and felt safe here. Clean and safe stalls.". . . (3/19/08) - "This was a wonderful barn to stay at. Immaculate! We left our horses for a week while we hiked in the Grand Canyon. They had exceptional care. Claudia and Heidi know horses and pay attention to detail. We will definitely return if we are ever in the area!"

Comments: (9/24/05) - ". . . the owner runs a great place. Feed was ready when we arrived. Horsey breakfast was fed early, which was convenient for us since we were hauling. The pens are large, spotless, with nice shelter. Our horses could each have a pen and still see each other. We couldn't have been happier.". . .(10/18/05) - "Great place, friendly owner.

If we lived in the west we'd view this as a resort destination. Very nice facilities, very nice people, very, very friendly dog. We're sorry we didn't have time to explore the area, or ride the trails.". . .(5/6/06) - "Very nice, private and clean place to keep my horses on our move from CA to OK.". . .(6/7/06) - "Great place in the trees! Very clean with knowledgable, friendly owners. Would stay again in a heart beat!". . .(12/19/06) - "We arrived after midnight so host not avail and we did not expect them to be. We called ahead of time and were told exactly what to do and where to park. We were able to unhitch the trailer and stay there at night in the trailer on their grounds. So convenient. We stayed two nights and the morning we left the owners offered to let our horses run in the pasture for some exercise. They were wonderful and the grounds were clean and beautiful. Would definitely stay again.". . .(1/2/07) - "Very lovely facility. We came in late at night. Host was gracious in the morning. Tara.". . .(2/14/07) - "We've stayed here often and would definitely recommend MCS Stables to anyone who is just passing by and needs a layover or an extended stay. Stables are very clean, stalls are oversized. Horses are fed early and since we are haulers this works out very nicely for us. Owners are friendly and always very helpful with directions or any other questions.". . .(4/29/07) - "Brian and Wilma have a beautiful facility. Neat & clean.

Comments: (2/27/06) - "Deb and Ben and all their friends welcomed us and our horses like long lost friends. We had such a good time there from the riding in the desert to the singers around the fire. They greeted us when we got there very late and said goodbye when we left very early. I was a little worried because there was not much for entertainment but we never missed it. We had such a good time riding and visiting with everybody that shopping was way down on our list of fun things to do. Don't miss this place if you love to ride.". . .(4/30/06) - "Very nice facility, lots of room for horses to exercise after a very long ride. Owners, very friendly and accommodating. Nice 5th wheel to sleep in. Close to town, great Greek resturant!!!"

Comments: (9/19/06) - "Thank you from Pat & Linda {Parelli} for your hospitality in welcoming our 2006 Tour Team! Your facilities were beautiful and accommodating with much ease of use! Our horses were able to enjoy a relaxed environment and were refreshed and ready for another day! The Tour Team also enjoyed a bit of R&R after a day of travels! We had a lovely barbeque and a good sleep! Thank you for all your efforts in giving our Team the comforts of home! In gratitude we would like to offer you one of Pat's books, signed by Pat & Linda and the whole team!! Many Thanks, The 2006 Parelli Tour Team "For Horse Lovers ONLY". . . (10/2/06) - "The folks were really nice and helpful and the cabin was very very clean and surprisingly comfortable for my Mom and me. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks to the Crew there at Blake's!". . .(12/21/06) - "Blake Ranch was phenomenal! I slept in this little cabin right near the horses. They helped me unload the horses and get situated. REALLY reasonable rates and great facility.". . .(12/23/06) - "We were on the way home from the 2006 Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association World Championship when we needed a place to stop without advanced notice. We had a human injury and horses who had performed extremely well and were tired. So, we called Blake's Ranch. They guided us in, helped us get ourselves and horses set up, and made the situation very pleasant, even late at night. This service was priceless! We had a great night's sleep and the horses had fresh bedding and crystal clear water to drink. We were offered help until we were ready for bed. We would highly recommend Blake's Ranch for the quality of professional service, and careful attention to the needs of performance horses such as ours.". . .(2/22/07) - "Close to the freeway but that can be a good thing. Clean, friendly, and overall a great overnight stay.". . .(3/31/07) - "These guys went out of their way to ensure my horses had clean stalls. Both times through I showed up close to 10pm and the owner met me at the entrance without a worry. Definitely will stay here again if I roll through there.". . . (8/27/07) - ". . . This facility was exceptionally clean, quiet, and safe for both horses and humans. I called the ranch to reserve space about 20 minutes before we arrived. The horse stall was ready with fresh shavings and a full clean barrel of water. They let me hose off the horse (we had been traveling for over 10 hours in the Nevada desert), and let her roll and play in their round pen. My horse is a good traveler, but can be a little picky about the water. She really liked their well water and I didn't have to add any type of flavorings to get her to drink. The park was well thought out in the design - the spots for my giant living quarters trailer were all pull-thrus. We could see the horse stall from our trailer. The space had a tree and a picnic table. The shower rooms were very large and very clean. The park is up a small hill from a really big truck stop and I-40, but was quiet. We slept with the windows open and did not hear any traffic noise. It was also cooler than we expected. Blake Ranch is so much better than staying at the county fairgrounds!!!". . .(9/9/07) - "A first class operation. Friendly, competent staff that responded to my requests for reservations in a timely manner. The corral was pre-prepared for my arrival, clean with fresh shavings. The corrals are new, secure and most important in Arizona, well shaded and with a cool roof. A clean round pen available for exercise. The RV sites are nearby, clean and level, graveled with no dust. That in and of itself is an accomplishment in Arizona. The best bathrooms and showers ever seen in a horse motel/RV site. All in all, a very postitive experience."(9/28/07) - "Nice place to lay over close to CA boarder.". . .(10/11/07) - "Easy to find. Very nice place to stay. Very friendly folks to greet you and make you feel welcomed!". . .(2/25/08) - "The horses were comfortable in safe outdoor pens with a roof to protect them from the weather. I would advise you to have blankets with you because nights can be cold. The RV accommodations were very nice with wonderful clean, hot showers."

We will be back to stay if we are ever out that way.". . .(12/29/04) - "I would like to thank Karen and Brandy for their generosity and helpfulness when we arrived at their facilities.

They offered refreshments and made us feel right at home. Thanks for such a good time.". . .(6/14/08) - "Very clean, very welcoming. Stalls were great and we were made to feel very welcome. Only negative would be that their gate is not very wide and if you had a big LQ trailer you might not fit through the gate and under the roof overhang. Other than that it was a pleasant stay."
