“This place was purchased by Heidi 2 or 3 years ago and now goes by the name of SADDLE TRAMP. Heidi is an excellent hostess who always keeps the customers in mind. She offers excellent food and awesome lodging and a saloon as well. The prices are the best in town. When you rent from her you basically get a beautiful and comfortable cabin. Bring the children too. They can sleep in their own comfy beds upstairs or downstairs and they can practice roping barrel cows or play bean bag games in the grassy yard. There are all the amenities too. I am a picky person but I must say i am totally impressed and have zero complaints.”

“This place is incredible! It’s not high tech or ultra modern. But who would expect that in the middle of nowhere? It is wonderfully decorated! The interior ceilings in my room were the old, decorated tin ceilings. The entire interior is covered in old reclaimed lumber. The beds are very soft and the design is very reminiscent of the old west. The bunkhouse we stayed in is new (review posted June 2024) The proprietors are clearly putting a great deal of work into it and I imagine it will continue to improve with time. Regardless, it’s still great now! They are so kind. When they learned the only other restaurant in town was closed they offered to make us dinner! And we accepted! It was amazing! Not only restaurant quality, but HIGH QUALITY restaurant quality! I’ve never had meatloaf that good before and they gave us a ton! I can’t imagine having anything negative to say about these people or their business. I’m sure there are other good places in Young to stay but I plan on staying here next time I return. Thank you Heidi and Kenny! Wonderful property. Wonderful people.”

“Hosts Robin and Karla are beyond hospitable! We stayed in the Saloon/Guesthouse and it was cozy, unique and charming. Robin took us on a tour out in the mountains, taught us (or tried to) how to rope, gave us a tour of some historic buildings they're restoring and filled us in on so much Young/Pleasant Valley history. And you can tell they do what they do because they love it! Definitely a one of a kind experience you can't pass up!”

“Love this place!! The owners are delightful (and have a big heart doe animals, which means a ton to me). It was perfect for what we qanted: winding down between 2 big backpacking trips. We were so happy to have a spacious kitchen and living area, great shower, and the owners even did laundry for us for a reasonable price. That gave us more time to relax instead of being in a laundromat. Young is a fantastic location, nestled between extraordinary wilderness with incredible trails and outdoor opportunities. The owners plan to have a restaurant, so we look forward to our next visit!!”

“I went camping on the Rim with my mom who was visiting, but she didn't like the cold weather so we called this place very late and last minute. What an absolute gem and kind hosts who got the room ready and allowed my dog. The place is amazing decorated and they even offered to make breakfast for us the next morning, however we left very early as I lost my watch. I will definitely be back to visit and recommend this place! Also it is known as Saddle Tramp. Thanks for having us!”
