Comments: (2/16/16) - "Loved our stay with Elaine while we were exploring the Jedediah Smith Wilderness for a week. Nice spacious corrals just outside of Driggs, ID.". . . (10/5/20) - "Elaine is a wonderful host. Beautiful, clean farm and horse facility. Elaine knows all the trails in the area, and might even go out on a ride with you on one of her mules! Nice, level spots to park on ( no hookups). Stunning views of the Tetons! Highly recommend."

Comments: (1/12/23) - "The facility would work in a pinch. Its advertised stalls, stalls with runs and covered pipe corrals. We could only see stalls without runs for use and the pipe corrals that are mentioned for use are full of metal and other junk with no lighting. Overall the lack of lighting and size and security of the actual stalls was the issue. The property did not have a way to secure them into it. Meaning, in the event a horse was able to get out of a stall, they would have free access to run anywhere including busy roads. Would probably work for some with horses that are calm, and super easy. Wouldn't recommend for someone with flighty, big, or stall nervous horses."

Comments: Due to the large amount of feedback we have received on this facility, all of it positive, we've posted only the more recent comments. We thank everybody who has sent in so many nice comments.) (6/14/11) - "We stopped overnight in Spring 2010; Carol was very welcoming and gracious. I would highly recommend her place as a stopping point. Very quiet area, too, which is a great plus. ". . . (7/31/11) - "This was a great place to stay and keep our horses overnight while we were looking at other things in the area. Comfortable and roomy pens for the horses and relaxing atmosphere.". . . (2/20/14) - ". . . We stayed overnight at Carol's on our way from Calgary, Alberta Canada heading to Reno for a horse show with our two horses. Carol had everything ready for us when we arrived--and we were quite late . The horse barn was spotless and well prepared. We utilized the Bed and Breakfast service Carol offers and it was absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend Carol's place to anyone travelling through Idaho.". . . (7/8/17) - "Thanks Carol for a nice overnight. Horses were happy and safe. My Smokey fell in love with your palamino!". . . (9/24/17) - "We stayed coming & going on our journey. What a delightful host Carol was. Our horses were very comfortable! We highly recommend Carol's facility and would definitely stay again!". . . (6/5/18) - "Stayed at Carol's with two senior horses I was shipping and Carol was very accommodating! Her place is neat as a pin and the accommodations were perfect for us. Thanks Carol!". . . (9/24/18) - "We broke down and needed last minute accommodations. The stalls were freshly bedded with fresh clean water and gates open upon our late night arrival. Very safe, well maintained stalls, great entry and parking lot for turning around our 4 horse living quarters trailer. Plus a camper hookup meant we could sleep right outside our stalls and keep an eye on our horses. Well lit for loading and unloading. Would absolutely stay here again!". . . (12/12/18) - "Carol was the first stop on our trans-continental journey, and she is the BEST stop. Extremely clean and deeply bedded stalls, ample parking and wonderful hospitality. Thank you Carol, you set a hard standard to beat for the rest of the trip!". . . (7/25/21) - "I have to say that Carol was so amazing. She was so accommodating when we told her that we where arriving late. When we showed up she already had everything ready with a clean stall and two large buckets of water filled up for our horse. Everything was super clean and inviting. There was even a table next to where we set the living quarters up. We would definitely stay there again. 5 stars.". . . (7/24/22) - "We have been staying with Carol for about 7/8 years. Our horses love the outdoor runs.". . . (10/9/22) - "This is a lovely location for a stop over. Carol was there to greet me. Both the ranch and parking area are gated, and there is an outdoor light on at night near the stalls. The parking area is right next to the stalls and is very level. She had fresh water in the stall, and all stalls have shade cover. I don’t know how convenient it is to town because I didn’t leave during my stay, but I did pass several shopping/restaurant areas on my way there.". . . (1/12/23) - "100% raiting for us! She took us in last minute after the facility we planned on stopping at set us on edge. She greeted us at the gate and showed us the stalling options. All 6 large indoor stalls were clean and ready for new guests as well as 2 large outdoor pens with cover pens. Even with wet, winter weather, the outdoor pens were 90ish% dry in areas without cover; covered areas were completely dry. My horses both slept like rocks and were rested and ready for another day of hauling. 10/10, would stay again!"

Comments: (12/19/17) - "Hosts were excellent and super accommodating, even turned my trailer around for me as I came in late in the dark and had a stressful day of traveling. Dogs were able to run around loose and horses were able to socialize with the resident herd over the fence. Do not use the gps marker; it will take you past the driveway and it is not easy to turn around! Also, no cell service once you pass. Would recommend calling ahead as soon as you turn onto their road.". . . (7/31/18) - "Not only was Jennie awake to help me pull in to the correct driveway (at 11 pm), she helped me with unloading the horse. She asked if I needed anything before we both turned in. I felt like I was catching up with an old friend by the time I left. I will definitely be back. Thank you Jennie!!!!!". . . (9/15/18) - "Larry & Jenny Housley make Horseman Haven Ranch a destination overnight spot. Simply THE BEST! I will stop at Horseman Haven Ranch anytime I'm within 100 Miles. It's that good. Thank you for your care and hospitality toward our horse and his humans!". . . (6/23/19) - "This is an amazing stop! From the moment we got here at 11:00 at night we were welcome and comfortable! Nice paddock for our mule to relax for the night. The grounds were well kept and clean. Full hookup for our 65 foot trailer, which had no issues getting in! Highly recommend for all.". . . (10/9/19) - "Corral and facilities were good, however they charged us $10.00 each for our DOGS!!!! Didn't notice it until we left. Our dogs are well behaved, leashed, and, of course, they sleep in the trailer with us. Very shocked!!!". . . (4/21/21) - "Friendly, wonderful hosts, Larry and Jennie. They went out of their way to make our stay a great experience. They truly love their guests and their horses. You can ride from the ranch. Drive to hot springs and soak or get a great meal. This place is very easy access. We will definitely go back.". . . (11/9/21) - "Fabulous hosts. Huge outdoor paddocks. RV hookups right there. Easy access off I-15. Clean with fresh water and good hay. Helped us back in when we arrived at night. Super responsive hosts. Recommended!". . . (10/25/22) - "Loved staying at the Horseman Haven. They cleaned out my trailer for me while I was settling my horse in the generous outside pen with run-in shelter. Offered coffee in the morning. Very friendly -- very welcoming. Highly recommend!". . . (2/18/23) - "We used Horseman Haven Ranch as a pitstop on our trek from California to Saskatchewan, Canada. Communication with host was fantastic from day one of inquiring. Very thorough with communicating directions and instructions. Host even stayed up late upon our arrival to show us where to put the horses and direct us to the cabin. Water and hay were ready to go for the horses when we arrived. This made things so much easier on us after 18hrs of driving. Cabin was cozy warm and beds super comfy. Both the horses and we were able to get some good rest after an extremely long travel day.". . . (2/19/23) - "Best place ever! We broke down and Larry and Jenny picked us and our horses up, and graciously shared their place with us while our truck was repaired. Amazing facility and amazing people . Will definitely return. Great place to overnight or board."
