We had an incredible time with the wonderful people of Baker Ranch. Our family came to Lava Hot Springs for a family reunion and we reserved a dinner and horse-drawn wagon ride as one of our activities. It didn't disappoint!

But the little space with dinner up the mountain was just the best: nestled down out of the sun, tasty raspberry lemonade to welcome us, an area with fun stuff for kids to play on... And then the dinner -- excellent food with live music! And Rex is about the friendliest, down-to-earth guy you'll meet....
