Fall, Winter & Spring Dude Ranch
Murder Mystery Weekends

Dude Ranch Murder Mystery game week-ends!
Get away and recharge your batteries.
All packages include lodging, meals, a murder and daily horse back ride (weather permitting).

Fall/Winter/Spring 2009-2010 Schedule of Planned Games:

December 31st, 2009 New Year's Eve!

This will be an "all evening" affair - the game starting with appetizers and solved before midnight.
Champagne Toast at midnight
Morning brunch
Morning or early afternoon horseback ride

Do you have a group of friends that would enjoy a murder mystery together?
Do you have a birthday, anniversary, or other special event that you would like to celebrate with a hanging?

We can schedule a murder mystery at any time you would enjoy - just round up friends (for a total of either six or eight players), book a week-end together, and we will take care of the rest!

The games are designed to be played in 3 to 5 rounds of investigation, one round with each meal, starting with Friday supper.

Bookings are limited to the first eight players, and restricted to participants who are willing to take a whimsical view of blackmail, larceny, deceit, and murder.

Those of you who are offended by such high-jinks as shady dealings, sordid affairs, and deceptive conduct should not book reservations for these weekends!

Plan to ride our horses each morning after breakfast!

The Rate?
Friday suppper through Sunday morning's horseback ride is $378 per couple.
This includes two nights' lodging, five meals, two horseback rides, the drama, and just enough free time to enjoy other activities or do nothing at all!

The Small Print
The "couple" rates are for two people sharing one suite, any pair of people - family, friends, buddies - sharing one suite. All suites have at least two beds.

Add $94.50/night/adult and $75/night/older child sharing your suite.

These rates do not include 3.7% tax, staff gratuities (at your discretion), baby-sitting services, Trading Post purchases, liquor (available on the ranch), white-water rafting or Fishing Licenses.

Deposits: We require a deposit of 20% for dude ranch and bed/breakfast reservations, and 50% for family reunions or other larger groups. In the event of a cancellation, your deposit can be refunded (less 10% handling fee) if your space is rebooked; otherwise it may be applied to a later stay.

Gratuities: We are often asked by guests about how gratuities should be handled. This can be an uncomfortable topic - this note is to help you be informed, but not feel pressured. If you feel you have received exceptional service, you may show your appreciation by leaving a tip for our staff. Unless you specify differently, tips are divided equally among the staff. As a guideline, many guests leave a ten to fifteen percent tip; however gratuities are left entirely at your discretion.

More Small Print
To ride outside the arena, children must be large enough to safely control their horse on the trail -- we look at the child's size, coordination, and attitude on horseback. Children who are not yet ready to trail ride will ride wth a wrangler in the arena while parents are on the trail. Safety is our first concern!

Riding "double" is extrememly dangerous, and is not practiced here.
