Reviews

For nearly 100 years, T Cross has been providing a beautiful and relaxing getaway for our guests. We are proud of our ranch, our staff, and what we have to offer, but don't just take our word for it…

Listed below are some kind words from some very satisfied customers, and there's more where that came from—.

What our Guests Have to Say

Riding horses in this country, just to ride, or to ride to fish is an experience you will never forget. For the novice or the experienced horse rider the folks at the T-cross were nothing but solid and professional.

The wranglers, the food, the fishing, the hosts and the accommodations were top notch. Wednesday’s ride was epic. We climbed mountains, perched on the edge of canyons, swam through rivers and were in the saddle for 8 hours. No fishing this day, but there was no need, the stimulation was out of this world. I cannot express how overwhelmed I was as I took myself back to the excitement that first travelers must have felt as they forded these rivers and rode this country to chase their dreams. Fly fishing is my passion, but this overall package is special and I was assured if more than 50 people see this country in a year that would be a stretch. T-Cross offers different length rides every day and you make the choice how long you wish to stay in the saddle. The fishing was very, very good. The Creek that runs through the ranch provided exceptional fishing for Rainbows and brook trout. We are booked for next year already! —Andy Roth, Prescott, Wisconsin

Just got back a week ago from the T Cross. It was great. The staff was better than any 5-star resort. It was a beautiful and amazing trip!—Charlene Fisher Storck, Collierville, Tennessee

Honestly the best vacation ever! —Maddy Gale, Alexandria, Virginia

We had a great time at the T Cross. The people, the country, the riding were wonderful. Thanks! —Dwayne Goldy, Mt. Sterling, Kentucky

This was such an amazing place!! We all had a great time, we miss everyone already! It was such a blast. Some of our group wants to try to make it back next summer. —Julie Schumacher, Greendale, Wisconsin

We have been guests of the Neal's for twenty-five years. We have found, from stays at other ranches, that the managers make the ranching experience. The Neal's and now their daughter, Gretchen, and her husband, Mark Cardall, have established a tradition of a pleasant and laid-back ranching experience at T Cross.

They always staff friendly and competent personnel, from cabin girls and wranglers to cooks. In particular, the cooks tend to be exceptional! T Cross seems to attract interesting and personable guests, and we have developed long-lasting friendships.

The physical environment of T Cross, nestled in the valley of Horse Creek, is idyllic and physically impressive in its natural beauty. The weather at T Cross has usually been consistently sunny with pleasant temperatures, with the expected nip in the air in the early morning and evening from its high elevation. The fishing and the horseback riding vistas are exceptional. Other ranches may tout their size or elegant accouterments. None provide a more pleasant or rewarding experience.

Our family has been coming to T Cross for the past 6 years, and we all love it! It gives all of us a chance to decompress from our busy lives and schedules and get back to the lost art of conversation.

Our children (now ages 9, 12, and 13) think of T Cross as a second home, and over the years they have met other children from across the country and developed strong friendships, which are renewed every summer at T Cross. The entire staff is enthusiastic and helpful, with their goal to make your stay a pleasant and memorable experience, while preserving a part of the "Old West".

—The Reeves Family, San Diego, California

T Cross is always such a pleasure, feels like home. Every year we have a wonderful experience and also meet the nicest people from many different places. Such beauty, wonderful people and fabulous staff compels us to return every year!.

—The Joyce Family, Vero Beach, Florida

Words can hardly describe our experiences at T Cross. We began visiting ranches in Wyoming several years ago, and happened upon T Cross four years ago. Our only regret is that we didn't start our ranch experience earlier.

The accommodations are perfect for us—slightly rustic, yet comfortable. The meals are "home-cooked," naturally, since we consider T Cross our "home away from home." At the end of each summer visit (which we have extended to 2 weeks), we start counting the months until we return.

After only four summer visits, we consider the folks at T Cross to be part of our extended family. That goes for many of the guests we have met there, who schedule return visits together. Last, but certainly not least, is riding over the tremendous landscape and unbelievable vistas. In our opinion, it is truly the most beautiful place on earth.

—Cathy and Mark Travis, Cookeville, Tennessee

What the Leading Guide Books Have to Say

Once you cross the main gate… you'll have left the modern world behind and magically stepped back into the old West… rugged and preternaturally beautiful Absaroka Mountains… historic ranch buildings nestled in a quiet secluded meadow. This is old school, traditional guest ranching at its best.

…one of Kilgore's greatest dude ranches in America… Today, as in years gone by, the spirit, informality, and relaxed western atmosphere offer guests an experience of a lifetime.

T Cross maintains an informal atmosphere, offering a colorful blend of the West and the creature comforts of home. Rides take guests through deep timber to high alpine meadows with abundant wildlife and endless vistas of the Absarokas, the Wind River Mountains, and occasionally the Tetons… Fishing is a very popular pastime on Horse Creek, which winds through the ranch and extends for miles north and south through the forest.
