Reviews

Mike Vales

We stayed Sept 2026
for our second visit to the ranch. It was another wonderful visit. The horses, goats and dogs remembered us, Laura and Nick are great hosts and go out of their way to make you feel at home. If you love animals and enjoy interacting with them you won't find a better environment.. Nick and Laura are both so devoted to the best care of their animals and it is so much fun watching their interaction with those magnificient horses

The goat room was the GOAT. Beautiful rustic barn and loved walking around the pond and pasture to the creek. A very chill atmosphere.

We enjoyed our stay at NICURA RANCH.
Nick and Laura (the owners) are Great Hosts.
We learned a lot about horses and got to help groom them, even fed them carrots. The ranch is therapeutic and relaxing. I can’t forget about the fresh eggs and muffins as well as the DELICIOUS KEY LIME PIE …so good we ordered a second one to take home with us. Our dogs enjoyed the outdoors also.
