“When I attended the first Heaven on Earth Write and Ride Retreat at the Vee Bar Guest
Ranch near Laramie, Wyoming, I realized a life-long goal of visiting a ranch and riding
horses. The visit was exactly as represented and truly a Heaven on Earth experience all
around.

The third-generation family who owns and operates the Vee Bar is a welcoming and
accommodating community who knows what real western hospitality really means and
practices it without fail. The cabins provide for all of your needs while still remaining rustic
and authentic. The meals were extremely delicious and menus well thought out.

Jayme is a woman of many talents and will also go to any lengths to guarantee that her
guests have the experience they are seeking, whether it be in riding or writing, or both. The
guests that shared my experience were capable, intelligent women whose company I enjoyed
and with whom I hope to keep in touch.”  – A.J. Keith
