-- J & M.A.S., Artesia NM & D & C..S., Oklahoma City OK

"We had a wonderful visit! It took a couple of nights to adjust to the quiet as we live in the center of a large city. We enjoyed the hummingbirds, the gracious hosts, the you people who work here in the summer and the delicious blueberry cobbler. We'll be back!"
-- M.C & J.H.

"The Broadacres Ranch experience. Wow! We were welcomed as part of the family; spent four nights in a truly fabulous home, fished to our hearts content, sat in rocking chairs drinking our coffee and gazing with awe at the mountain scenery, slept in a tent one night just because it's fun, completed (yes!) the Colorado puzzle, read books and napped, and explored and enjoyed the city of Creede! Thank you to the Nearburgs for so kindly inviting us - this is a magical place! Thanks"

"Thanks to you for your graciousness in meeting the demands of our hectic schedule. Your hospitality made me fee that we were coming home to an old friend, when in fact it was our first time in the part of Colorado. We will be back! It was gorgeous. Wish we could have stayed longer... I was just beginning to relax. We will see you again!"

"The ranch is just incredible – hands down the best time of my life. The variety of fishing spots – just amazing. The accommodations were 'top shelf'. I wish I didn’t have to go back to work. I could stay quite a while longer."
-- C.C., Richmond VA

"Well, this is the single most incredible place I have been! The cabin was excellent, the atmosphere is superb, and the fishing is out-of-this-world! This ranch has really 'hooked' me on fly fishing!"
--T.J.B., Mt. Vernon TX

"Everyone has a place which touches the heart and the soul – Broadacres Ranch and the pond touches mine. It's been 30 years since my first visit, and I hope to return again to this holy spot... Yes – and that first rainbow from the Rio Grande will always be special – good times here @ Broadacres!"
--P.&S.B., Littleton CO

"We look forward to returning soon – next time with watercolors as well as fishing rods! Thank you for your warmth, expertise and assistance."
--R &S.G., New Paltz NY

"Our first trip to southern Colorado. First time fishing on the Rio Grande. Everything about the area, the cabins, and the water was outstanding. For the non-fisher person, the hiking was spectacular. The area with blue skies, golden and orange aspen, and dark firs inspired photography... It has been a top of the line vacation."
--C.&F.H., Urbana IL

"We were greeted by the chef with warm muffins, dripping in butter. What better way to feel at home? The next morning we hit the trails on horseback. The view of the valley, surrounded by mountains caused me to pinch myself. Is this a movie? The Broadacres vegetarian breakfast with homemade tortillas had me taking notes – a real keeper... Gotta have a fly rod! Oh – there's more. A theater! Our Town was great. I'm in a bad mood this morning. I don't want to leave."
--R.&N F.

"Your vision and efforts have created a small pocket of magic in a large, glorious environment. There is no place I've ever been with such luxury coupled with simplicity and quietness. Hours spent gazing at surrounding peaks and verdant valleys, following the wildly vigorous arabesques of the hummingbirds, and trying to pierce the velvety blackness of starlit skies – these hours are forever embedded in my memory bank. I am forever indebted to your kindly and thoughtful generosity. Thanks for sharing your 'heaven'."
--M.P.H., Dallas TX

"Broadacres Ranch is a beautiful spot to rest, relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature and ourselves. A heartfelt thanks for a fantastic time and for providing one of the best fishing vacations ever."
--B.&V.C. 

"I wanted to get back to the Creede area which is one of my 'power spots' in the world. My experience at Broadacres Ranch far exceeded my expectations... I'm very impressed with the Nearburg family and implementation of their plan for optimizing the river, streams, and landscape for fishing and comfort. Certainly the fish are thriving. I look forward to watching the ranch evolve on my future visits."
--J.A., Oklahoma City OK

"Is it possible anything could exceed this beautiful Colorado caldera in mid-September? ... Yes! The first rate fishing, guides and hospitality. Let's not forget Luke and his great meals. See you soon."
--A.S. & F.G., Santa Fe NM

"What a nice way to vacation – surrounded by gorgeous scenery, waters full of fish, and beautiful people. Thanks for showing two pond fisherman how to negotiate the big water. Best of luck to all."
-- J.& G.F., Vicksburg MS

"This is a fly fisherman's paradise. You bent over backwards to make the fishing and accommodations 'five star'. Everyday was a nice day of fishing, but without a doubt day two of our trip was the most rewarding day of fly fishing in my life. The morning was 30+ trout at the lower lake with a 20" included. Then the afternoon was remarkable on the [Rio Grande] river with countless fish and three over 18". Then to cap it off was a late afternoon on the creek. What a day. I will be back."
--D.S., Bandera TX

"I was a part of a foursome that visited your Broadacres Ranch west of Creede, Colorado late last week [mid-August]. All I can say is ... what a treat!!!! The majesty of the mountains, the beauty of the Rio Grande River, and the ranch itself with the great accommodations combine for a memorable outing. I appreciate the opportunity to visit your ranch, enjoyed the fishing, noted all your attempts to make the river fish-friendly, and can see you have a real treasure."
--J.S., Midland TX

"Thanks for a great fishing experience. In my view this ranch will come one of the premier fly fishing trout locations in the USA."
