Magee Homestead - Saratoga, Wyoming

It’s difficult to review our stay at Magee Homestead because it’s a lot more than simply a place to stay. The location, the food, the accommodations all of it combine in a a truly unique experience. The little cottages are charming and comfortable and the decoration is very on point. The food was described as elevated but that word doesn’t do it justice, the quality is honestly deserving of a Michelin star. Magee is associated with the larger Brush Creek Ranch but is a standalone resort of its own. However there’s also the possibility of having access to their services and activities including the Cheyenne Club and it’s incredible wine selection. Not everything was absolutely perfect however, there seems to be some issues with communication and we didn’t get housekeeping service and turndown service until our last day and some of our activities were rescheduled and we were not informed about the changes before the day of arrival. The pool and grotto area could also use a little more attention the maintenance was a little bit lacking. Those are some minor issues however and could be easily improved. Overall it didn’t negatively impact our stay and our enjoyment of the experience. Altogether a remarkable experience. Highly recommended !

Magee Homestead is the perfect combination of adventure and luxury. From the moment we arrived, the service and warm hospitality from the staff made us feel like family. Our cabin was well appointed and the common areas and grounds were just gorgeous.

We went on many horseback rides both on property and at Sanger and loved every second of it. I've ridden my whole life but even my non-horsey husband left completely obsessed! The fly fishing guides were also top - notch. We learned so much from them and caught plenty of beautiful fish. We especially loved the float trips.

I could go on and on but you really need to experience it for yourself. If you're looking for the perfect combination of adventure, luxury and relaxation, you'll find it here. We've traveled all over the world and this has been our favorite vacation to date.

My husband and I enjoyed 5 fabulous days and nights at Magee to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It was a fantastic vacation. |We are active people, so the variety of great activities was perfect. We particularly enjoyed riding and a rigorous hike to ‘The Peak.’|Food was incredible. Initially, we were disappointed that we were not able to eat at The Farm, but the wine dinners more than made up for it! Wonderful food and the Colgin wines were spectacular. |Finally, the staff was so warm and helpful. It was not at all pretentious or stuffy - just fun staff and guests leaving the world behind to enjoy being outside and active. I would definitely go again!

Another outstanding trip to Magee Homestead. From the moment we arrived to our departure the experience was a 6 out of 5. The food was amazing from our two ala carte dinners to the two tasting dinners Chef and our visiting Chef prepared. A work of art, always prepared perfectly. Our wine tasting experience at the Farm cellar was also outstanding. Anna is an amazing resource with a wealth of knowledge. Activities, from our Float trip and River Fly Fishing with Taylor, to the Fly Pond fishing with Katie, to Gun Range with Keenan (Thanks for bringing out the 50 Caliber) all top notch experiences. Special thanks to Jamie our concierge and Brian in food and beverage for being so kind and helpful. Certainly I am missing many that were so generous with their time always providing such good care. The accommodations, grounds and amenities were amazing. Added thanks to Marissa for having us into the Spirit Vault and of course proprietor Jeremy for leading such an outstanding group of people. If you are considering booking Magee, stop the thought and jump into action. You won’t regret the decision. We will most definitely be back.

My wife and I were looking for a unique place to celebrate our 2-year anniversary and boy did we find the spot! Customer service was outstanding. We did the cattle-drive, elite wading fly fishing, and spa and each event was special. Dakota and Lindsey taught me how to ride by what felt like 1:1 teaching. The next day, we went on a 3 hour cattle-drive. What a blast! They were very patient with me and made me feel safe. The next day we we fly fishing with Clayton. Just amazing experience and we are avid fly-fishermen. The food and wine program were top notch. We can't wait to go back.

Derek and I just got back from our honeymoon exactly a week ago, and it's no wonder we are already missing Magee.||||We stayed at the Elk Hollow Cabin, which was decorated beautifully, and was very comfortable for our stay. Our cabin had a private bistro along Brush Creek where we had dinner one night because the temperature was perfect, and because why not? We really appreciated the staff accommodating this for us as it really made the trip special being able to sit by our fire, and watch the stars after our delicious meal. Thank you Alicia, Kimber, Topher, Emily, AJ, Corbin, Myranda, and of course Jeremy for making our food experience memorable and delicious, as well as the seamless coordination of our activities. We also loved our visit to the Cheyenne Club! It was nice to get a little dressed up for one night for a unique culinary experience, and enjoy the ambience.||||It's an understatement to say that all of our activities were good, they were excellent to outstanding:||||Thank you Lindsay, Dakota, and Brandy for our private rides and also to Kendall, Carlo, and the other Brush Creek Resort wranglers for making our cattle drive truly memorable (bucket list item officially checked off!). Derek is more of a beginner rider, and I'm a bit more advanced but Magee/BCR was able to accommodate our skill levels without having to be separated all the time. Also, seeing a baby calf shortly after it was born was so special, especially on our first day on the homestead.||||Thank you, Jill, for being our guide for fly fishing and archery. Derek and I were impressed with your professionalism, knowledge, and your quick skills at attempting to save our baby trout 🙂 Also thank you for making us look like models with your iPhone-picture taking skills. Pictures are what's left and we really appreciate those a lot!||||Thank you Kevin and Derek at BCR for our ATV ride. Thank you for entertaining my need to put a tire over every rock, tree limb, puddle, etc while letting us all have an awesome time getting dirty while staying safe. ||||Thank you C.J. for the outstanding experience at the Gun Club. This was Derek's first time shooting, ever, and he says it was his favorite activity. Seeing the moose on the rifle range was also very special, so thanks for arranging that ;)||||Thank you Chandra and Lydia for the best couples massage (highly recommend doing the spa at the start of the trip). It was a great way to welcome us to the resort and immediately slip into vacation-mode.||||We can't wait to come back!

We stayed in Burgess Cabin for one week at the end of September 2018. As a restored original cabin, Burgess was necessarily small but comfortable. The nearby creek and our own private fire pit near the creek enhanced the locale of our cabin. My wife loved the shampoo! Turn down service and housekeeping were both good but what makes a great experience is almost always the service, which we found to be excellent. Misha, Massa, Emily, Madison, Clayton, Corbin, Olivia, Patrick, Jason, Derrick, Jeremy, and others (apologies for leaving out anyone who helped us) were friendly, competent, and helpful. The food was good, our only complaint being the lack of variety in the lunch menu. We generally do not enjoy the music broadcast in hotels/resorts (usually too intrusive, too loud, or too mindless) and the staff was responsive to our requests to either turn it down or off or select a different choice like classical. The setting was beautiful and sometimes surprising (two nights a large buck was within the homestead enjoying presumably sweeter grass than that found in the pastures). A stay at Magee Homestead is pricey but we felt we got value for the price as it included activities such as archery, horseback riding, gun range, ropes course, on-ranch fly fishing, and other activities.

We just came back from our trip and I want to go back! 5 Star service and all the staff members were amazing and friendly. We were group of 22 people and the staff members were very attentive to what we preferred and anticipated what we would like for meals without asking them. We stayed in the Elk Hollow Cabin and loved it. It was very comfortable and cozy for two people and loved listening to the water running in the creek behind us when sleeping. The activities were so much fun and we were able to try things we have not tried before like ATVs, fly fishing, shooting, horseback riding, archery, and paintball. Jeremy was wonderful in helping to plan all of the activities and last minute changes.
