Rafter Six Ranch Resort
Old West
Guest Regulations

Customer Service had a whole different meaning back in the Old West, and anything that annoyed Innkeepers  or cost them money was immediately forbidden.

Yes, the world was rather uncomplicated back in 1873, and these Guest Regulations are provided for your amusement.

1. Guests will be provided with breakfast and dinner, but must rustle their own lunch - provided it's not one of our steers.
2. Spiked boots and spurs must be removed at night before retiring. Dogs are not allowed in the bunks, but may sleep underneath. Only one dog allowed to a room.
3. Candles, hot water, and other luxuries charged extra; also the same for towels and soap. Towels changed weekly.
4. Insect powder for sale at the Bar.
5. Crap, Chuck Luck, Stud Horse Poker, and Black Jack games are run by the management of Rafter Six Ranch.
6. Two or more persons must sleep in one bed when requested to do so.
7. Baths are provided free down at the river, but bathers must furnish their own soap and towel.
8. Only regularly registered guests, or relatives of the management, will be allowed the privilege of sleeping on the Bar Room floor.
9. Guests without baggage must sleep in the corral, and board elsewhere until their luggage arrives.
10. No checks cashed for anybody. In God we trust, all others must pay cash or gold dust. Good whiskey or horses considered.
11. Spurs are forbidden in the dining room. Any Cowboy caught scuffing the furniture will be evicted and his saddle bags seized in compensation.
12. All guests are required to arise before 6 AM. This is imperative as the sheets are needed for table cloths.
13. Tips must NOT be given directly to the staff or wranglers; leave them with the proprietors and we will distribute them, if necessary.
14. No complaints regarding the quality or quantity of the meals will be allowed; those who do not like the provender will get out - or will be put out. Assault on the cook is not only prohibited, but most assuredly ill-advised: She's a crack pistol shot.
15. Quarrelsome or boisterous persons, or those who without provocation shoot off their guns or other explosive weapons, will not be allowed to remain in the lodge. Should you or your luggage find yourself on the other side of the fence, you may consider to have received your notice to leave.
