Some of the comments you will find on Maps.google.com:

From “Hollywillcome” ,Michigan: “We visited the ranch while we were on spring break from Michigan with our two boys, ages 9 and 10. We had a fun time at the ranch.  We shot the paintball guns, played miniature golf, mined for gems and the boys spent time in the bounce house.  Their favorite activity was the paintball guns.  The shooting range is setup to make it especially interesting.  The owners were very friendly, welcoming and personal.  Thanks for the fun!”

From Lynn Hamby (Murphy): “ I am a Modern Woodmen Club Leader, and each year we take our members on an Educational trip.  This past year we went to WagonMaster Adv. Ranch on a gem mine expedition…. And families were given a free wagon ride through the park.  With affordable prices we were able to make a day of it.  We had a hotdog cookout in the free picnic area and later enjoyed a marshmallow roast at the campfire.  It was a wonderful day of fun and fellowship.  We will definitely go back!”

From Lacy, Missouri: “I had never been paint-ball shooting before but Jim and Deb were extremely fun and helpful.  The target shooting range was so clever and unique (you can tell they spent quite a bit of time designing it).  I will make plans to go back and shoot again.”

From Thom, Wyoming: “ We loved our time there! It was a great afternoon of fun shooting in the paint ball gallery and also the BB gun gallery.  The owners Jim and Deb are very fun people and we just loved getting to know them too! Very hospitable and real kids at heart. We are from Wyoming and would love to see something like that here.”

From “Birthday Party” Murphy: “The owners helped me plan every aspect of the party just the way I wanted. It was so nice. The kids had a wonderful time! They found some wonderful treasures at the gem mine, jumped around like crazy in the jump castle, played a game of miniature golf, shot some targets with paintball and Airsoft bb, and went on a wagon ride! I can not choose what was more fun! It is so wonderful to have a place like that in our area for everyone to enjoy.  We will definitely be back, maybe for our family reunion this year!”

 

Text Box:  From WagonMaster Adventure Ranch Fun Park & Gem Mine: Facebook review:   It will be an honor to write the first fb review for WagonMaster. First and foremost you will begin your adventure with two of the finest people I have ever met...Jim and Debbie. There spoken desire is to share what God has blessed them with in an affordable Vacation adventure. There will be no doubt left in your mind ...after you have been here that their spoken word is reliable. The grounds are beautiful and the atmosphere is more than relaxing. We were fortunate enough to get to stay in the Loft Cabin up on top of the hill. It is a wonderful get away, yet they have provided wireless internet for the person who needs to stay connected to the outside world. The cabin is very comfortable and cozy, they have stocked the kitchen with plenty of cook-ware and serving dishes. They also have something I have never seen in any other cabin I have ever stayed in...They even have "tupperware" like bowls so you can store your left overs. If on a rating scale the best being 10, they would receive at least a 10+. You will find that Jim and Debbie have never met a stranger, only friends they have not gotten acquainted with yet. So if you are wanting to stay in Western North Carolina for a few days, then I would highly recommend the WagonMaster Adventure Ranch as a first rate vacation spot. Both for the young and the young at heart.   Pastor Don Johnston

We had a wonderful time here enjoying the mountains and getting to know you two….The boys loved the paintball, so did Robert & I.  The evening wagon ride was really nice. I loved the new jewelry I bought…. We will definitely be coming back, hopefully next time we can stay longer.”

From Trip Advisor:  Brenda H. of McCayesville, Ga. writes:  My church family from Zion Hill Baptist Church spent the fall break with our families at this Adventure Ranch and Campground.  Though I could only visit during the evening hours due to my work, my husband, grandchildren and myself found it totally amazing as being so close to home but yet so isolated.  The children as well as adults had a great time with so many different things to do.  There were camping areas for your tent or RV or very nice cabins to rent..whether you’re an adult, small child or in between, there is something for everyone.  Saying our host, Jim & Debbie, were more than accommodating is an understatement..we all made friends that will last and never forget...So Jim and Debbie, on behalf of Zion Hill Baptist Church, we thank you for your hospitality and graciousness in this Christian Themed Adventure Ranch.  We will definitely be coming back to see you...

Robert & son shoot paintball.

2011: Jady & Karen came back in Aug. to have a joint birthday party for Jaden & Madison and have a getaway weekend in the loft cabin.  Overnight parties are very popular with the children’s loft as a fun part of the party!

Text Box: From Trip advisor review, Nov 2011 by “John C”:   Wagonmaster Adventure Ranch is a breathe of fresh air in a surprisingly accessible and beautiful location. The owners are extremely helpful and friendly and do everything in their power to make for a fun-filled family time. Our church recently held an outdoor picnic at the ranch and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We grilled hot dogs, huddled by the campfire, and played lots and lots of games. Thanks so much for a memorable evening located in the mountains of North Carolina.
