The owners and operators of Sun Bowl Ranch, John and Letitia Sisters, are a husband-and-wife team who extend down-home hospitality to every guest. They strive to keep their bustling ranch a comfortable and welcoming place. The atmosphere is friendly, and they boast of their staff, both two- and four-legged.

John and Letitia believe that their horses and donkeys are Vermont's finest. Of course, they have a soft spot for their herd, which they consider part of the family. John and Letitia hand-pick all their horses; they look for horses with kindness in their eyes and gentleness in their spirits. Their horses are not only sweet-tempered, but also responsive — a true pleasure for the novice and for the experienced rider alike.

Sun Bowl Ranch is set in an idyllic spot at the base of the tallest peak in southern Vermont, beautiful Stratton Mountain. The Ranch is just five minutes from the Stratton Mountain Resort, which offers many summer activities (mountain biking, fishing, golf, tennis, and much more) and in the winter becomes a full-service skiing center.

Sun Bowl Ranch is surrounded by quaint farms and lovely towns full of stores and boutiques. Manchester, for example, is a shopping addict's dream come true. If you prefer to stay closer in, the gift shop at Sun Bowl Ranch offers something for nearly everyone.
