Special place
Wow! What a place full of wonderful people. I don’t know where to begin. My sons and I were staying at Kickback Ranch as a result of evacuating for Hurricane Ida. When we arrived, we realized there were many other families from our area who came as a result of the storm.
First of all, the place is beautiful. Lots of stuff for kids to do. We enjoyed the water slide, the lake, the canoes, and the basketball court. We grilled and made s’mores over the fire. If you have kids, they will love it here. The cabins are very comfortable and clean. We stayed in The Wagon wheel suite and also the cowboy cabins during our week and a half evacu-cation. I recommend both depending on your needs.
The best part of our experience, however, was the people. I am so humbled and forever grateful by the kindness showed to my family during a very difficult time by the staff and owners of Kickback. They treated us like family, fed us everyday, and together with local churches, distributed donations of food, clothing, and personal items to families from South La., some of whom had lost everything in the storm.
What a tremendous life lesson for my kids to see such kindness and love in action. We feel we have gained friends for life and we will definitely be back. Hopefully, just for vacation next time.
If you’re thinking of staying here don’t hesitate!
