We dined at the famous Cheyenne Club for dinner during our stay at Brush Creek Ranch and their team of chefs supplied a culinary adventure that left us swooning.
We arrived at Cheyenne Club and were seated in the main dining room. The space was rustically romantic with dim lighting from double tiered chandeliers.
General Manager Cory was exceptional. He guided us through Cheyenne Club & BCR’s farm which included the creamery, greenhouse, distillery, wine cellar, and bakery. His knowledge and passion for the resort were winning. Our server Victoria was as charming as could be; she led us through our meal with grace and knew the menu well.
Lead Sommelier, Sydney chose the perfect wines to pair with my unforgettable meal. She started me off with the Victorine de Chastenay Cremant de Bourgogne Brut. This French sparkling wine was bright & sculpted in taste with a crisp fruitiness on the tongue.
For First Offerings we had Scallop Carpaccio and Thin Sliced Brush Creek Wagyu.
The Scallop Carpaccio was made with Garden Shaved Vegetables, Caviar, and Lemon Agrumato. The Scallop Carpaccio was fresh and bright. It started off buttery on the tongue and then gave way to sweet and tart bursts of acidity from the caviar and lemon.
The Thin Sliced Brush Creek Wagyu came to the table raw to be cooked on the hot stone with accompanying dipping sauce. The Farm at Brush Creek raises American Wagyu; a rare breed of cattle that produces exceptional beef and reflects BCR's goals of sustainability. This is the best wagyu I've ever had. We placed the thin slices of American Wagyu on the hot stone and grilled them to perfection (about 30 seconds per side). The beef was magnificent with it's fine-grained marbling and unparalleled tender chew.
For Entrees we had the Smoked Duck Carbonara and the Brush Creek Ranch Wagyu, NY Strip.
The Smoked Duck Carbonara was made with Duck Lardon, Whey Pasta, Hen Yolk, and Parmesan. This pasta was decadent and creamy; the hen yolk made the sauce richer. The smoked duck lardon had a satisfying meaty texture (comparable to thick bacon).
The Brush Creek Ranch Wagyu, NY Strip was a premier cut. This was a fabulous NY Strip. It was cooked medium per the chef's recommendation.
For sides we had the Heirloom Tomatoes. The tomatoes were ripe and sweet with a slight sharpness.
For Dessert we had The Pearl and the Grand Marnier Soufflé.
The Pearl was made with Chocolate Mousse, Rice Pudding, Crispy Praline, Vanilla Glaze, Sugar Dome, Raspberry Coulis, Coral Tuile, and Raspberry Powder. The Pearl was stunning. Just look at the vibrantly colored Coral Tuile - pink, blue, yellow and green. Talk about presentation! I gently smashed the sugar dome with my spoon and it shattered into beautiful sugary shards (making for amazing texture variation with the mousse). The combination of chocolatey mousse, creamy vanilla and sticky raspberry coulis created a balance of sweet and sour that delighted our taste buds.
The Grand Marnier Soufflé was served with Salted Caramel Ice Cream and Vanilla Anglaise. The soufflé was gorgeous. It was similar to a moist, bread pudding in texture. Each bite was piping hot and had the lovely flavor of orange and vanilla anglaise throughout.
One of the best meals we have ever had!
Brush Creek Ranch secured its rating as one of the Top USA Resorts by offering all-inclusive access to a vast array of activities. During our stay, we got to snowmobile & had an absolute blast. BCR is one of the top five snowmobiling destinations in the country. BCR had all the gear we needed including heavy jackets, snow pants, boots, helmets, goggles, gloves, handwarmers & water.
We elected to snowmobile for a 1/2 day and were able to choose the intensity of our adventure. We had two expert guides snowmobile with us - Travis & Brayden - both were awesome. Our guides went over safety measures, hand signals & how to work the snowmobile. Then we were off! We explored miles of trails through Medicine Bow's deep powder. What freaking awesome time and a major...

Read moreI would have given them 10 stars if I could. Me and a friend spent the weekend at Brush Creek Ranch for a girls getaway. The customer service was spectacular! I received 3 phone calls prior to our arrival from different departments asking how they could make our experience perfect. The activities manager called to book activities, the concierge called to make our dinner reservations and the night manager called to assure we weren't lost because we were running late. The hospitality was bare none some of the best I have ever experienced. Growing up in the hotel industry and love to travel, I have high expectations. Ever staff member goes above and beyond to ensure you feel welcome, have every need met and want to anticipate needs you didn't even know you had. We met Mike the CEO of the ranch who went out of his way several time to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and always asked if we needed anything. Great guy! At one point while horseback riding we were talking about going to the hot springs. When my friend mentioned she forgot her swim suit, the Stable Manager and our guide Katie immediately said, I can get you a suit. That afternoon, we had 2 brand new swim suits delivered to our room. They went to another resort and purchased suits for us! Because we visited in the winter, there weren't many activities we were interested in but horseback riding and yoga. The opulence of this ranch, customer services, hospitality, accommodations, food and breath taking landscape made every dime worth while. I am not a country western dude ranch type person (but I do love horse back riding). I'm a devout city girl. I would visit this ranch over and over again if I had the extra disposable income. I am saving up to take my husband and kids next summer and can't wait to try the ropes course and cattle drive. This place is a rare find, definitely, without a doubt I highly recommend Brush Creek Ranch. They knocked it out of the park. Way to go Mike and all the hard working...
