The Ranch at the Dearborn

I stayed here in July 2017 with my boyfriend and had a wonderful time! Rich and Trudy are very gracious hosts and are eager to cater to any needs you have. The food is excellent and plentiful (definitely request the river lunch, I've never raved about a sandwich before in my life!!). I mentioned that I love wine in our pre-visit emails and I had a bottle of wonderful Pinot Noir waiting for me upon arrival!

The B&B is kept incredibly clean and the attention to detail is rare (think lavender vanilla aromatherapy on the pillows to help you drift off to sleep).
The Missouri river floating was so relaxing and the shuttles Rich and Trudy provided made it so easy to plan our all day floats. I will definitely stay again.

Hello, Michael,
It is always interesting to read a review from a past guest who we had to throw out. You made us call the Deputy Sheriff as a back up due to your unruly and out-of-control behavior.
After you broke every rule that we, as a licensed Bed and Breakfast have in place you have the gall to write slanderous comments about our establishment. Our only bad call was to stop short of having you and your "wife" arrested.
We feel sorry for you that you pass through life this way. Thankfully, our paths will never cross again. You are banned from our property.

Beautiful place.

Nice location along the Missouri. Very friendly owners. Lots of pets would not recommend for sensitive people.

I have to agree with Michael's review, this was the worst travel experience I've ever had. These folks should not be licensed to operate a B&B, I had a group of 7 guests booked, thinking it would be convenient not to have to worry about meals, what a mistake I made!
Judy and Rich are very odd people, make very inappropriate comments, hover over you at meals and proceed to join in your "private" conversations. One night I went to open my bedroom door to find it had been locked from the outside!!! They insisted they were required by their insurance company to lock it. I was furious and it didn't happen again. The final straw was coming back from fishing to find Trudy on a tirade about a missing hand towel, she had apparently searched all our rooms and seemed convinced we had stolen it, she would not shut up about it until I finally screamed at her. The "missing" towel was hanging on the back of the door. The following morning we packed our bags and left...four days early.
The situation with the forty or fifty feral cats is really outrageous, they scavenge all over the property, no spay or neuter, just cats and unfortunate kittens all over the place feeding on leftover food she just throws over the deck rail. I could go on and on about how awful this place is but the memories give me the creeps. Avoid this place at all costs. Terry.
PS. Disregard the 3 1/2 star rating, Rich, the owner, gave himself 5 stars

A truly bizarre experience. We'll never go back . The rate advertised to us was great. What seems too God to be true usually is.

The rooms were fine, the bathrooms more than acceptable. Our group really tried to be more than reasonable.....but we left four days early.....after being accused of stealing a towel. Really?? We had probably thirty thousand dollars of fly fishing equipment in the vans.....and she accused us of stealing a seven dollar Jc penny (probably) towel?? Huh?? We were stunned.

I'll never go back here.
