Chris & Melodi Kreymann: Dear Sirs, We visited with our family (daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter) the ranch as soon as we heard you reopened the first ten rooms in early May. As former ranch owners, we missed the ranch and looked forward to the opportunity to visit again. We happened to be there while you were as well, and so had the privilege of meeting you both. While there, we found the staff to be wonderful and most helpful. We enjoyed the area, visited Julian and Santa Isabel, frequently ate at the golf grill, which has been nicely updated, and our daughter and granddaughter enjoyed riding at the equestrian center.
Up until the ranch sold, we were frequent visitors and usually went whenever we could string a few days together or if there was a holiday. Both of our children grew up visiting the ranch. We are hoping for the same opportunity for our granddaughter. Our children learned tennis, golf, and horseback riding on the ranch. It was a wonderful place for children to be free to roam in a safe environment.
We always brought a big group of family and friends up with us when we went. We even brought the soccer team and their families. One year we had a Christmas family reunion on the ranch and had many aunts, uncles, cousin, etc. come from out of state to attend. It is a cherished memory. We were most fond of the old section and would rent as many of the cottages above the pool as was allowed. Our cousin was also a ranch owner and would rent as many cottages and rooms as she could as well. So, we always had quite a large group with us.
After 5 years, we are still asked about the ranch and when and if it will open again.
Based on our 30 or so years experience with the ranch, we trust that you will consider the following observations:
- The people we brought to the ranch loved it because of the history, scenery, and amenities.
- They loved the cottages and all the mature landscaping.
- There were equestrians among us that who went riding every time we went to the ranch.
- There were those who loved to play tennis while there.
- There were a few who enjoyed the golf course.
- Everyone, and we mean down to the last person, loved the hot springs pool. Some hung out there all day, and others enjoyed it after dinner, but everyone absolutely loved it! The only time we ever saw the pools empty was when staff cleaned them.
It is our feeling that the pools are an integral part of the Warner’s Springs Ranch experience. The hot springs during cool weather and at night and the fresh water pools during the heat of the summer. There are lots of golf resorts and resorts that offer tennis and horseback riding. The springs, along with ranch history, are what makes the place such a special experience. We would love to be able to bring groups of friends and family members back up to the ranch to enjoy everything it has to offer. So, we are hoping you will be able to get the pools up and running soon.
We truly love the ranch and we’re sure we will be back to check on your progress in the near future. Until then, we hope you will keep us in the loop, and let us know what’s happening at the ranch.
Wishing you much success,
