"High in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, the equine program here feels soulful and emotionally replenishing, shaped by owner and lifelong horsewoman Barb Phillips. Offerings such as Wisdom of the Horse, Healing Power of Horses, and Rescue Horse Rehabilitation are grounded in empathy, mindfulness, and trust, and the on-property Saving Gracie Equine Healing Foundation lets guests witness diagnostic and therapeutic tools in action for rescued and retired horses. Individualized care—from nutrition and circulation therapy to gentle groundwork—helps rebuild body and trust; as Phillips notes, rescue horses may never forget their trauma, but they can forgive when trust is earned on their terms, never forced. Signature sessions pair guided breathwork with energetic exercises to help guests tune to the herd’s natural rhythms, while natural horsemanship provides families and groups a space to reconnect—more than a luxury ranch experience, it’s a considered balance of human and horse, earth and empathy, care and reciprocity." - Chloe Frost-Smith

"On a 3,500-acre private sanctuary outside Park City, days revolve around horseback rides and high-alpine hikes, with cliffside suites, creekside cabins, and expansive Sky Lodge rooms designed in natural materials to maximize the panoramic mountain views." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Set in the Wasatch Mountains and repeatedly recognized by readers, this property designs experiences to spark wonder and stewardship: Mexican cooking classes, visits with the resident beekeeper and onsite honey tasting, Gracie’s Farm School for harvesting vegetables and sustainable-practices lessons, plus archery, axe throwing, wildlife tracking, and fat-tire biking. The staff tailors activities for youngsters (a nature hike can become a mission to find edible plants for a baking project or materials for mandalas and sun catchers). Meals ordered from the kids’ menu are complimentary for children 10 and under; Little Vaqueros Kids Club requires a minimum age of 5. Rates start at around $1,299 per night." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.
