Sleighride Dinner

great finish to our trip the steak was cooked to perfection take cash for the beverages

We did this in 2011 and loved it.
The stew was so good– I still talk about it.
Everyone was great. The singer was really good.
It was a fun family event. Highly recommended.

This was the finale to our trip and it was perfect! The other reviews are still accurate but I will update the info that has changed. We went for the 4:30 seating and I am so glad we did because it was COLD. Dress for warmth! The blankets they provide are very nice but it was snowing the day we went so hats, gloves, etc are a must. The food choices have changed: NY strip, grilled chicken, grilled salmon or hotdog option for kids. Prices: Adult — $ 88, Children under 12 — $ 57, Children who choose hotdog option — $ 40. There were four of us and we ordered one of each item. I tasted everything and everything was delicious — very impressed! Does not include alcohol but does include complimentary shot of Schnapps or Amaretto for adults, hot cocoa, soft drinks, beef barley stew, hot biscuits with two kinds of butter, garlic mashed potatoes, roasted veggies and warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream. The wine selection was nice as well. Bring credit card/​cash for the alcohol and tip.
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The guitarist was fun and got everyone singing along. The whole excursion was exactly 3 hours. Definitely worth it!

Can’t complain about a horse drawn sleigh through the snow. They take you through the beauty of nature as well as give you some history and humor along the way. When you reach a small cabin in the middle on nowhere it’s approaching sun down. You get there just in time to see the end of the sun and beginning of the nature light. It’s amazing how clear it is outside without lights.
Now the cabin is were you are seated for dinner. You get a complimentary shot of peppermint schnapps I believe and the food is served in heavy duty dishes. Not sure the right word for it at the moment. But your plate it like a skillet old school cups very homely. Brings you back. They provide music and they play the part well. Super friendly staff. The food was only mediocre but the experience is one of a kind. 4 stars for that!
Also, they provide blankets for you on the sleigh so you don’t have to worry about being too cold.

This is one of my favorite Keystone dining esperiences. Guests meet at the Keystone Activity Center and board a bus to the old Keystone Ranch neighborhood. At the end of the Ranch you will climb aboard one of two huge sleighs that accommodate about 20 people.
Pulled by two gigantic Belgian Workhorses, the sleighs take you through an incredible snow covered valley. Take the early seating for the best sunsets. Each passenger gets his or her own blanket to keep the cold at bay. Across a long valley (a golf course in the summer months) and out to an old «barn» you go. The driver tells his passengers about the interesting history of the settling of the Smith Ranch.
Favorite Dish: Upon arriving at the barn, diners find tables set with kettles of hot barley soup, a thermos of hot cocoa, water, and home made biscuits. Dinner is a choice of bbq steak or chicken, garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. Your choice of beverage; sodas, wine or beer, are included in the price. And when it seems you can eat anymore, dessert is hot apple cobbler with ice cream.
A guitarist plays and encourages guests to sing along. When everyone finishes, you board your sleigh again… this time very glad of the blanket… and head back across the dark, snowy valley. I saw a shooting star, a good omen to end a wonderful meal.
The $ 55 per person includes dinner, drinks, tip and tax.
