Just got home from a week at the Ranch at Live Oak. The actual ranch was being renovated so we had to endure the beautiful Four Seasons. The staff was careful to "unplug" the rooms....no tv, no menus and no minibar. (I probably would have cheated if those were available). What a incredible week. Be prepared to be completely taken...

No white flour or dairy, no sugar, no caffeine, no lazing around by the pool... This place will stretch you, literally and figuratively, but if you've been meaning to clean up your diet, tone up your body, and take some time for yourself, this is a gorgeous setting in which to do it! The food, rooms, program, and staff are... More

Not that you will be lying around - this is a wellness resort that will recharge your body and soul. Check out their facebook page for more info. The staff are top class - the... More

I went to The Ranch in May of 2011 and in two days I am returning, the location is beautiful, the hikes are hard but breathtaking (no pun intended) and the staff is attentive, It is a fabulous place to go and unplug. Expect hard work but you will enjoy the place so much and the daily massages you won't... More

My 2011 started with detoxing body, soul and mind at The Ranch. It truly was a life changing experience. A year later I am still implementing what I learned in fitness and food. The grounds and views on hikes are beautiful; delicious gourmet food (no idea vegan food could be so divine!); helpful, encouraging staff; all while losing inches and... More

I visited the Ranch just over a year ago. It was amazing! And life changing. Health and fitness have always been important to me, but I learned a lot about myself that week and a lot more about health and fitness in general. The daily routine was challanging, but the hiking trails are beautiful, the staff (and other guests) supportive... More

I hope to go to the Ranch someday, but have not had a chance yet. My wife went and really loved it. My benefit was that she learned a lot about eating healthy during her week there and she has brought a lot of what she learned into our home. Since her visit, I have actually lost over 30 pounds...
