Its a Awesome Place with lots of History..Lots of good fun when its not closed..Good place to live!!

This place is dead! I was there on 8/17/20. I was hoping to see the resort again since 2007. The gate was closed and everything around it was dry.

We always go visit this place, it’s a good place for relaxant and escape from the busy city life. The place have been always beautiful ever since it opened. I’m one of the property owner around that area and I’m very please as I see it delivers excellent services and good customer service.

It was a nice place to visit. They have real great customer service.

Such great weekend getaway, so much to do..

Shut down by the CA Department of Business Oversight for alleged securities fraud. Trial is scheduled for July 2021.

We visited your resort to have dinner last evening. Excellent meals. There were four of us and we all agree the food is amazing. We are glad you have a new Chef and we look forward to eating at Desert Willow often. We live in California City so we did not need to spend the night but might be interested in coming out for a weekend stay in our RV because it was so pleasant there. Ida and Kendall Gibbs

Went tent camping for the weekend. Staff was very nice. everything seems nice and green until you reach the camp site very dry brown and broken. I dont think alot of people go camping there. We made it work. Our last night there was very unruly people.they were playing the movie and music very loud like it is in your face until about 1230am until security came and left then they turned it up again 130am security came again. The lowered but they talked so loud until 3am. I dont think we would go back, if such unruly guest are so disrespectful of others.

Great place for a family weekend getaway! Love all the amenities!

WOW. Great family fun. Full hookup RV stations and tent camping. Ponds, lakes and streams. Fishing (catch and release), miniature golf, paddle boats and bicycle canopies. Lots of green lawns, shade and full growth trees. Cabins and hotel suites with 2 pools. So much more. A true Desert Oasis. Membership rates. Open to the public.

Been coming here for 20+ years. Great place to let the kids run free.

My parents bought and paid off a membership here when it newly opened and only had horses and not as many activities as they have now. I was 1 year old then, Im now 34 years old and still love this place. Management kept changing over the years and lost my parents information and so we could no longer come back for many years, or wed have to pay as new members. We do plan on coming back, it has many of my childhood memories with friends and family. Its calm, neat, and pleasant. I only wish they had plant based options in their restaurant, for people who dont consume animal products as they make me sick. Other than that you can bring food and have wonderful picnics with your loved ones and enjoy the beauty.

A very good place to come and relax

It’s a pyramid scam.

This place is a SCAM to sell property in the middle of nowhere. They have been scamming people there for 30 YEARS!!! Such a sad situation that humans can treat each other so disrespectfully in the name of MONEY.

Fun place to go with Family

Nice place... No one was there me and my wife walk and drive it almost all no one came.... everything was open...

Is this place still open ? I was hoping i would go there someday

It was a good place to relax, out of town but the restaurant and not to good.

Amazing staff and beautiful rooms.

Beautiful location but Nothing is open! No food at all, not even vending machines, website is totally bogus, stay at the Best Western in California city instead

It was a good place to relax.

The place is beautiful but nobody was there for ask to see the accommodation

Over populated with guest. Members can’t book because all of this free loaders who won’t hmbuy property.

Amazing staff and grounds. Beautiful rooms and lots of fun things to do. Absolutely loved it. Its a bit out in the sticks but thats half of the charm.

I have been coming here since the late 80s and its still a beautiful get away from the fast paced LA life.

This used to be a great vacation place but the current management totally sucks

An amazing experience for the whole family! Theres fun activities for the whole family as well as a great campsite. The beautiful views of the night sky are to die for! Youll love every second you spend here.

Comfortable. Entertainment is not an issue. Theres horseback riding, archery, and even a petting zoo! It is best to come on Weekends. And the food is delicious!

Top notch. So many amenities; horseback riding, horse boarding. A lake that has kayaks for rent. Bicycles for rent. Hiking, wonderful meeting rooms. Pull thru trailer spaces, cabins for rent etc.

Very nice place to get away from the city and just have some family fun. From horse rides to miniature golf. From water boats to bikes, skeet shooting to bow and arrows this place has alot to offer.

Omg ribs here were to tasty, quality of the food was just awesome. Lil pricey but worth it, good food cost more

I so Love this place customer service very friendly

Maybe it was a day that I went for the weekend actually but everything was not available to view except for riding a horse and I think thats about it and the food it was okay wasnt really do I dont know like Gourmet and I would say though that stuff there are very nice and very helpful other than that I mean its a little run-down they need a upgrade a lot of things truth is I probably go back only Doreen is going to Spring or ball Maybe.

First time visitor, from what a hear from friends who own time shares there this place used to be awesome but the management became laxed and it got a little run down but when I was there I was told by staff that it is under new ownership and they are bringing it back to life. While I was there it did have a lot of activities to offer in the end its worth the visit. The 3 stars is for the current condition of the place.

Absolutely an oasis in the desert that you must go to.... very fun place for kids, or family. Wonderful real estate opportunity as well.

First things first. The staff was very very nice and deserve the 5 stars I gave them. With that being said, the facilities were awful. The room was sub-par for the rate I paid. I should have just stayed at the nearby Best Western and would have had better accommodations for $88.00. Instead, I paid $116.00 for what looked like a walk-in closet with a bed in it. The room had a musty odor of stale cigarette smoke and old water damage. The bed was a full size and not the queen size I requested. A full size bed is very difficult for 2 adults to share. There were only 2 small accent pillows on the bed. I had to ask for ones to sleep with and the staff had to go find some because they didn’t think there were any extras. There was a refrigerator in the room but it didn’t work. The AC/heating was unit was not working properly and only the fan blew air. We were told the only way to stop it was to unplug it from the outlet because the control panel was broken. The door of the room was wooden-framed and all glass, and it was difficult to lock the deadbolt to secure the room. There were only thin, lace curtains covering the glass and no way to cover them for privacy. Any one could have stood 20 feet from the door and easily watched us sleeping, or broken in and stolen our luggage. We were supposed to have internet access but did not. A tv channel listing was provided with a list of 20 channels. Unfortunately, only about 5 or six of them actually worked. i will never stay here again.

Is great for family little ones food is delicious

VERY nice for any occasions Seriously

Nice ranch, very relaxing +++

This is a great place to come and relax my kids had lots of fun. And the food was great and the help was very friendly and very up beat people. We loved it. Would come again.

A great getaway with the family. The rooms, ranch and activities were grand. The restaurant food was tasty and the kids loved every minute. The adults were able to enjoy some quiet time away from the bustle of the city and life. I would recommend the Silver Saddle Ranch.

The staff is extremely friendly and the grounds are beautiful and getting better yearly.

Well, we were going to tent camp here but decided to drive through and this place is so run down it’s ridiculous. $70 a night for tent camping in a slum? Hard pass.

It was pretty good. My friends and I went to the pool as a get together since we havent seen each other since high school. Nice place to hang out.

The installations are old but still offering a decent getaway. Be careful with the scam offered as land banking where the bait is an interest 1/4,000 offered as an investment which in reality is to cover the hard cost of land urbanization which you never will own only the interest they have the full scam equipment (sellers, immediate escrow officers, bimbo lenders) to screw you pretty good, after you realize your decision is not an investment but a waste, you cannot cancel your contract, they speed up instead to generate a phantom lending (Nile Almundaris Broker Trust) and organize a quick sale to another company (Equiant Finnancial) which is going to impact your credit every month to reduce it to ashes, enjoy your visiting and B E W A R E of the ferocious lions.

The resort is rustic, fun, very laid back and a great place to get away from it all. I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, wide open quiet and star filled nights. The restaurant is pretty basic and although filling, not exactly lux. The wine list was no existent so bring your own. Otherwise, a very nice stay. We came on a Thursday and left on Saturday and Thursday-Friday were very quiet and peaceful. Saturday was the opposite with families and kids and everyone having a splendid time. Glad I came on Thursday.The rooms were a little dated but they upgraded us to a bungalow after I mentioned it and the upgrade was fine. The bungalows are roomier, have a mini kitchen and are set off in a quieter area of the grounds. All in all, not a five star resort but while there were a couple of three star features the rest easily made up for those so I believe it has earned a four star rating in my book. Mostly for ambiance.

Lots of cool birds, and the resident cat Midnight was adorable

Its a place where you can go and just relax, peaceful and unwind. Beautiful place

A large group (around 200 maybe) used the campsite facilities over a long weekend. The facilities were definitely conducive for our purposes. The layout was great. The only issue I am aware of is the poor shower/bathroom facilities. I realize we were camping but most of us camped in fairly nice RVs and more in favor of glamping. Im not a regular camper but I am a regular boater and the interior of an RV and boat are remarkably similar. Marinas however generally have super comfortable bathroom facilities, it would be nice if campgrounds followed that example since the constraints on both campers and boaters are similar.

Its a cool place for the kids. A lot of little things to do. But a lot of things need to be updated or restored like their restrooms bow and arrows, bikes are old. Things like that.

Great service, fun activities, a great place to unwind and have a good time with family. My only complaint is that their food options are not very good for vegetarians. Otherwise, I had a lovely time :)

This place has really nice service, they help you right away, and also they try to make you fell like home.

Magical, secluded off a dirt path. Giant Qoi pond. Great pastures with horses. Great cowboy lodging decorations. Great views from the work out room, friendly staff. Cool pool.

Awesome place. You all need to take a drive. Its really awesome.

Everything here was broken, over crowded, and the food was a nightmare- worst meal iv had in recent memory, the food was so laughably bad it became the highlight of our trip the alfrado sauce was thinner than the water in the pool and had big chunks of ginger in it... Why ginger lol i cant believe they could honestly charge $20 for that dinner. Staff was friendly minus the grumpy guy at the shooting range. Not sure why there was ginger in the alfrado though. Anyway I had a really rough time there but overall Im glad that my friends all had an equally bad time and we decided to cancel our reservation and leave the same day we got there, the ginger alfrado will live on in our hearts and minds forever.

If you like rustic retreats then you will love here, if you like High quality hotels and fine dining then dont expect much but is a fun cheap get away has many fun activities like kayaking and skeet shooting, isnt to crowded, and is just a nice cheap break from city life. Basically a family farm in the middle of nowhere plus room service and more activities.

My family and I went for Thanksgiving Weekend and had so much fun!!! Would definitely wanna go again next year.

Good place friendly people highly recommended..Godbless your business.

I went there with a member to swim in the pool and walk around the area. The area was amazing, I loved the activities available to guests, as well as the outdoor scenery. The pool was really cold, but the jacuzzi made up for that.

If anybody wants to come and see the amazing place for vacation can contact me. I will book for you for free stay 2day and 1night .

I fell in love with Silver Saddle Ranch the first time I visited there. It is such a neat surprise to find such a peaceful, friendly, beautiful outdoor spot so close to the hustle of So Cal but yet so far removed that you can actually enjoy a full sky of stars at night. I have been going back every year for 25 years now. Always feels like pulling up to a good friends home. Grab a lounge chair or sprawl under a tree, kick off your shoes, relax and listen to...silence. Well, Ok, the sound of geese and happy kids laughing.Not a bad spot in my opinion.

We were there for a 90 min. tour which took 5 hours. We arrived in the evening in Friday when kids got of school. All the amenities like boating, archery, or horseback riding were almost over or werent available. Dinner started at 6. It was horrible. There are no restaurants or stores nearby. Eat there or starve. Bar was not stocked. They charged $8 for a beer. We were instructed to check out before or 8 am tour. Breakfast at 7. Reserve horseback tours at 7 before completely booked. We were up at 5 to get showers and pack the car back up. To the stables at 6:30-7 for reservations which we were told we couldnt do till 9. We went to breakfast by 7:15 which was rubber eggs, soggy potato cakes, floppy waffles, under and over cooked sausage, and bacon bits. The tour was 5 hours long. Lunch was hot dog and nachos. We got to the stables after 1 and were told by the same guy who sent us away that we should have reserved at 7am because they were completely booked. My son told us that while we were touring, our host had known to bring her own arrows for the archery because they didnt have any there. The fish were catch and release after staff told us the fish were good eating. The Surry bikes were in bad repair. The place smells of rotten eggs next to the lakes. After stables incident, we were so pissed, we went home.

We enjoyed the grounds of this resort but the rooms were very run down and almost none of the amenities (dining, bar, activities) were open. The staff said they were only open on weekends, which was doubly confusing because we were there on a Sunday. It is a nice place to stop but I would not recommend staying here, especially at such high rates.

My parents have been members since 1986, we would visit 2-3 times a year with friends and family. Now Im 41 with 2 children and we still enjoy it. This place is sooo relaxing and kids have a blast.

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Private property, must be a member or guest of a member to stay or use the amenities there. Nice place though.

We attended a wedding and everything was great. The setting was beautiful! Food was good!

This place is so much fun..lots of exciting activities..tried horsebackriding and archery and i enjoyed the experience..the karaoke and zumba were my favorites..had a relaxing massage at the spa..and the staff are so friendly, helpful and respectful esp. Nyko at the front desk..can still see his smiling face..the suite room we occupied was clean and spacious and not to forget the food and drinks at the buffet are delicious..i highly recommend Silver Saddle Ranch for a vacation place.

Iam a member of the Silver sadle family and they make you feel just like that family.they are improving the rooms and the service is top notch as always. I will be bringing more family and friends to the silver saddle ranch in hopes they join as well

I have been a member for over 30 years and it is like home!

Been a member for awhile, have friends who are still. Always a nice getaway.

Rooms where great. Staff very friendly. Awesome time.

Nice and peaceful place to do outdoor activities. This is a ranch so dont expect the rooms to be luxurious. Also wifi isnt that great as well as your cellphone reception so be prepared.

Great activities: horseback riding, trap and skeet, paddle boats and much more

The staff was friendly. The food is delicious. There are many activities for families to partake in.

The rooms are like those of a motel; very reminiscent of Motel 6 except that its in the middle of a desert. The highlights were the numerous events you could do, such as archery, skeeting, horse riding, paddle boating, etc. They have a buffet at the hotel, but tbh, its not that great. All-in-all, mediocre rooms, fun events, bad location. Hope that therell be more of a town in California City.

The grounds and lobby are beautiful. There are a lot of ammenities including 2 pools, ping pong, billiards, volleyball, tennis courts, horseback riding and many others.

It is very nice there are so many things to do. Theres archery, horse riding, kayaking, pool, game room, maze, bingo, karaoke. Theres just so many things its awesome, youll never get bored. Theres a pokegyms here and plenty of pokestops, they said someone caught a Pikachu here a few weeks ago too. If you dont have data though, its tough cause there on your Internet in terms lobby. Its a nice cozy and friendly place.

The dinner buffet on the weekend is nice and the breakfast on Sunday is always good.

Best Place to go while in the Mojave Desert

It is the best place to go in the weekend.

Great place, need to work more on their activities, pretty much wasnt able to do any

I love this place

We went for a wedding. everything was nice

Great Family Memories.

Great place spend time with your familyMy kids love that place

The people that work there are good nice people and its a good job for me

Oasis in the desert but its a little outdated. The rooms were in need of basic maintenence. The grounds were clean but the lakes smelled of rotten eggs. The food was horrible. There arent any close-by places of property to get food or groceries if you werent satisfied by what they had on property. $8 for a Heineken and their bar didnt have ingredients to make a piña colada or an Irish cream. Might be great for some people but not for us.

So, basically, you hear about this place because someone invited you, right? You get a coupon book of sorts that is filled with a free dinner, free stay at the hotel, etc. Theres free giveaway gifts, like grocery cards and gas cards. Dog friendly. It is outdated, but not unbearable -- unfortunately, I had to experience this during the summer in a desert, and it was 100 degrees and up. Ranch is nice, very peaceful. Theres archery, a pool, shooting range, bingo, and more. The rooms are nice and cozy, and there is air-conditioning that you should turn on ASAP so the room can be bearable/breathable after dinner. TV isnt updated, but there was regular cable and funnily enough, the Filipino Channel... (Ive noticed that this area tends to prey on fellow kababayans, as another review mentioned. Very true.) Dinner was good as it was buffet-style; there were ribs, rice, hot dogs, so on. Staff was very accommodating. Wifi works, when I went, there were a lot of kids playing Pokemon-GO and there were a few pokestops nearby. Breakfast was great as well, great for free everything! Then, here comes the tour, around 10AM.Now, DO NOT GO ON THE TOUR! I repeat. DO NOT. GO.Honestly. If you just want to go through the pamphlets and whatnot, then just avoid the tour. Completely. This is where they hit you with the Galileo Project. Basically, its a lang-banking scheme, and how when Riverside and Corona fill up, everyone will move to California City and build this place up. Sure, itll happen in the upcoming future, like 30-50 years. Interestingly enough, after breakfast, they split you up into groups by race/ethnicity -- a lot of Spanish speakers in the same room, Chinese internationals in another, and Filipinos into one. They try to appeal to you by trying to speak to you in Tagalog, but its a white man advertising and speaking about the land-banking project, and how if you join their club and get more members to cough up a deposit and a monthly payment, you can basically get cheap-cheap vacation spots in vacation resorts in the Philippines, etc. This is how they appeal to you, along with the free food, throwing around Silicon Valley and solar energy references, saying big names to build credibility (Elon Musk-Tesla, Bill Gates, etc)/Also, you get put into another room with this same group of people, and you get another land-banking seller. Typically speaks your language; theres a whiteboard in the room, and free food outside. This is where they hit you with the prices and how much money youd make, but just according to ONE source that actually won out. In my case, they mentioned how one Filipina nurse decided to invest in Vegas, and she got money because someone wanted to buy her land, and now its a part of some hotel. ONE source, but not verified, no citations, not actual article or anything. Afterwards, you get taken to the tour in a van, and youre going around and looking at these big, grand, cheap houses here. I was surprised people actually lived there, but I mainly saw either white or Filipino neighbors. The houses are nice, and the ones that are toured have the AC on consistently. Beautiful houses, but in the middle of nowhere.They take you to another building up the road, and this is where they sit you down and talk about the prices. They ask you how much you have in your savings (!! sketchy) then try and tell you to put down a down payment of $2-3000, or so. However, say you dont have that money. Well, here, they didnt turn you away -- they pushed you, and kept upgrading you to different levels (like if you were an elite member, you get cheaper land for less?) just to get you hooked. Unfortunately, the people I was with decided to buy land. They paid a significantly smaller number for a deposit ($300 compared to $3000?) when they were trying to sell this off as an amazing piece of land with SO much potential...Their contract has no cancellation period, just like what the other reviewer, E.D., mentioned. My group lost $1000 on land they didnt see or use, almost basically gave the money to this place.

It is a good place to bring the family.

Not enough ac on summer, no internet connection.

It had horrible wifi connection the games inside the club are mostly broken but other than that shooting rang is fun archery was also fun they had cannoing there is nice and relaxing the cars and the horese are fun to ride and the mini golf course is also fun and camping and the pools and the spa and I hope I can go back there someday

Its amazing friendly staff and so much to do there its so fun

Wonderful location to get away from the city

This desert gem was beautiful and the staff at the stables was outstanding.

Dirty and run down. I was scheduled for a two night stay...after the first night I upgraded and slept in my sprinter..this place should be closed

Nice place to relax and get away from the city.

Excellent service, delicious food, hometown appeal, Cal virus best kept secret.

Its still an oasis in the desert. A very nice place to recharge.
