Rocking Horse
Ranch and Resort

Rocking Horse Ranch Resort, recognized by several publications for its excellence, offers guests 500 acres of land nestled in the glorious Shawangunk Mountains. This AAA Three Diamond rated and Mobil quality rated resort has been listed among the top fifty family resorts by Family Circle magazine and has been deemed as "The Club Med of Ranch Resorts" by the prominent New York Post. Since 1958, the Turk Family has owned and operated the ranch, hosting numerous families and groups of friends who return year after year. The Rocking Horse Ranch Resort is ideal for families who are looking for the casual atmosphere of a ranch, the relaxed setting of a resort, and the peace of mind that comes with an all-inclusive, affordable price!

Rooms are spacious and comfortable, accommodating the entire family. You have your choice of two twin beds or one king or double beds with the standard features of television, private telephone, individual temperature control, daily maid service, and a private bath. Some rooms also offer the added conveniences of a sofa bed, personal refrigerator, and coffee maker. All rooms are non-smoking.

Meals are hearty and satisfying with a hearty breakfast buffet for breakfast and your choice of entrees from the menu for dinner. Coffee and cake is available 24 hours a day for anyone who develops a sweet tooth late at night, and a sandwich shop is also on the grounds for a savory snack between meals.

Nightly entertainment with evening shows and live music at the night club makes the nighttime as anticipated as the next day. Younger guests will enjoy nightly bonfires, sing-a-longs, and traditional marshmallow roasts. As the evening winds down, return to your room and drift off to sleep, dreaming of all the possibilities available the following day at Rocking Horse Ranch.

Making guests comfortable has been a long standing Turk Family tradition. Once you stay with the Turks, Rocking Horse Ranch is sure to become part of your family tradition, too.

Your adventures at Rocking Horse Ranch and Resort begin the moment you arrive. The ranch has something for everyone in the family, and almost everything is provided. Let the kids whoop it up in the Western Town Playground, rustle up something creative in the Arts and Crafts programs, or splash in the kids only pool, with interactive fountain and waterslide, all supervised by the experienced staff.

Take an exhilarating horseback ride through the scenic, natural setting. Swim in the indoor and outdoor heated pools. Water ski in the summer on the ranch's own lake, fish, or play tennis under the season's warm sun. Both water and traditional volleyball are offered for competitive family challenges. In winter, enjoy skiing and snow tubing in the winter park. Countless other pastimes can be enjoyed throughout the year, including archery, horse-drawn sleigh or hay rides, ping pong, handball, shuffleboard, basketball, and softball.
