Definitely 5 star quality accommodations for humans and horses!". . .(12/14/05) - "My blue heeler loves going there for vacation. He can exercise on the south 40 acres safely. I enjoy grooming the draft horse and the calves. Very relaxing.". . .(10/1/07) - "We arrived very late and the family helped back in both the horse trailer and the moving van we had. The cabin was amazing. It was a wonderful place to get a good night sleep and was stocked full of wonderful food. We moved from NJ to Colorado with 2 horses, 3 dogs (one sick with heart disease) and two cats. This was our first and favorite stop along the way."

The room was charming and the bed wa extra-comfortable after all of our roadside problems! We enjoyed it so much we decided to stay an extra day and, best of all, our horses got to go out in their pasture to stretch their legs and get some much-needed relaxation. VERY highly recommended. We hope to be back!"

Comments: (4/28/08) - "Robin and Kathy were terrific. We were greeted upon arrival, the stalls were ready and clean, they gave us access to paddocks and the indoor arena. Water, grain and hay were readily available. A great place to stay!". . .(5/17/08) - "Besides the obvious in travel, it couldn't have been a closer feeling to being home for my horse. ALL stables were clean and sound, the owners were helpful and friendly, the area was scenic. If it were 20 miles out of my way in travel, it would be worth the jog. Thank you Kathy, Robin & kids!"

Comments: (4/11/05) - "We were several hours behind schedule arriving at Teresa's barn around 10 p.m. She greeted us in the driveway with a warm hospitality. She helped us unload and get settled in. She even offered to let us park our rig inside her indoor area, which we did, then headed off to the hotel (great accommodations). Roads leading to her farm from I-70 were clearly marked and easily found after dark. Her barn was immaculate. The next morning we had a very difficult horse to load. Her professional horsemanship was a great help in getting him loaded. I would stay at her barn again without question.". . . (11/1/05) - "One of the cleanest and most hospitable facilities we've encountered. I didn't need to worry about our horses after meeting the owner and seeing the on-going care given to each boarder, especially after a long exhausting road trip.". . .(7/26/07) - "Teresa Williams was so kind and made our horses feel so welcome...she even accommodated our large 18 hand horse in a special horse for his comfort. Would highly recommend Teresa and her stables. A+++++."

Will stop over again next year when we make the trip back from Missouri. thanks, Tami!". . .(1/14/07) - "The hosts were wonderful. We arrived on Christmas day and they were very welcoming. She even brought a companion in to keep my gelding company and checked on him late in the night. The discounted room at the Red Roof Inn was perfect and located by the truck stop where we could fuel up and feed ourselves. I would highly recommend this facility.". . .(6/10/08) - "Tami and her husband were very accommodating. We arrived late and they were waiting and had the stalls set up. They helped unload and load in the morning. They allowed the horses to exercise in the round pen. They loaned us fly masks and hardware. Both of them were great people. Thank you for your help."

Comments: (5/9/02) - "Surecare Farm is a wonderful place for both humans and horses! Abby (the horse) had a HUGE stall close enough to our room that we could both see and hear her. Our room was beautifully decorated, clean, and very comfortable. Our hosts were available when needed, but afforded us the privacy to come and go as we liked to make both ourselves and Abby comfortable. The ranch is convenient to Rte. 70, and easy to find. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling with horses!". . .(12/3/02) - "The hosts were extraordinary! They provided a wonderful equine arrangement. Although stalls were provided, we used the large well fenced paddock for our 3 horses. We could watch the horses from our room! Our original plan was to stay one night, but the accomodations were so wonderful we continued for 4 more! Actually our truck developed transmission trouble and ( the owners ) were wonderful in assisting us with a place to stay while the tranmission was being rebuilt. Their hospitality turned a very stressful time into a mini vacation! I highly recommend Surecare Farm for an overnight stay, it was easy to find and even though we arrived well after dark the lighting made it easy to unload and take care of the horses.". . . (7/16/03) - "We enjoyed an excellent stay over-nite with (the owners) ! They went above & beyond to provide accommodations for us, as I drove from NY, & my friends drove from Kansas City to swap horses. The farm & the room were lovely, the horses were comfortable & we were well rested! I recommend this facility to all, the *positive check* list needs superlatives to report our feelings!". . .(11/11/03) - "This was a great sleepover for both people and horses. It was an added treat to stay on the ranch and not have to unhook the trailer and find a people motel. Stalls were roomy, clean and safe and the hospitality of our hosts was exceptional. I'd drive a couple hours further or stop an hour earlier to use this ranch again!". . .(11/17/03) - "You could not ask for a better place to relax inbetween shows than Surecare Farm! We would definitely stay there again on our travels! It was easy excess off the main road with wonderful dinners in town and shopping close by for all your restocking needs from supplies to food.". . .(1/29/04) - "Wonderful people. The farm is easy to find and the economy apartment is is very comfortable. The stall was more than adequate for the 16.1 hand gelding I was transporting, safe, and clean. Thank you for making both of us (the horse and myself) welcome at your facility.". . .(8/12/04) - "I traveled from Pennsylvania to Colorado and this was my favorite stop. It was cozy and the horses were nearby to turn out and shelter combined. Most of all, getting to know {the owners} was great. They made the stay worthwhile.". . . (9/15/04) - "We just LOVED our stay at this farm! Like others have mentioned, it is SO comforting to peek out of your window and see that your horse is happy and safe after a long trip! Coming from the desert of Las Vegas, our horse LOVED the lush grass, and the large paddock area. Barb made an extra effort to make us feel welcome, and gave great advice on a place to eat in town. We really felt like we were "at home" and the apartment had everything we could have possibly needed!". . .(9/25/05) - "We had a great stay and our hosts were gracious even though we arrived much later than anticipated. Our horse was very comfortable and we slept well in our clean,comfortable room. We will certaintly return on our next trip.". . . (5/19/06) - "We have stayed at SureCare Farm twice now and we love it! Thanks for everything and keep up the great work.". . .(8/22/06) - "I travel across the country to the Parelli Learning Center in Pagosa Springs, Colorado from Pennsylvania and on my way undoubtedly my favorite spot to stop is Surecare Farm. The owners, Barb and Scott, are hospitable, extremely friendly and their quaint and clean overnight rooms are matched by the quiet ambiance and the facilities for the horses are very nice. I look forward to my visit year after year.". . .(8/22/07) - "Surecare is awesome! Scott and Barb run a great overnight, our horses did not want to get caught when it was time to leave, they liked it so much in the paddock. Cute, very quiet apartment to stay in with the horses just outside the window. Very easy to find from the highway too.". . .(8/23/07) - "Scott is a great host! It's easy to find and even though they had to make some special arrangements for us -- the horses were happy and comfortable and so were we! It'll be one of my regular stops on my annual trek."
