What USA Ranch Holidays Can Offer You?
Ranch holidays in America appeal to all kinds of travellers, be it single riders looking for an adventure, families wanting to spend some quality time together somewhere special or couples and groups of friends who want to experience ranch life at its best.
What more could you want from a holiday? The ability to go on nature walks, horseback riding, enjoying warm afternoons in a swimming pool, if the ranch has one on offer, and depending on where you go, mountain biking adventures.
Ranches such as Elk Mountain Ranch, Triple Creek Ranch and Kara Creek Ranch are available in various locations across the country, visit a national park such as Yellowstone National Park; these holidays indeed are otherworldly!
As a result, there’s a great range of ranches throughout the USA, but they vary significantly, so our specialists must match you with the right ranch type.
Specific ranches will be better for those experienced riders searching for rodeo visits, cowboy cookouts and mountain ranges.
In contrast, lower-ability riding adventure breaks are available for those who want to do steady trail riding and visit spectacular landscapes.
From luxury resort ranches and authentic guest (dude) ranches to remote working ranches suitable for couples, families and multi-generational holidays, our team has a suitable ranch holiday for everyone!
Nothing is more quintessentially American than the cowboy experience, whether it is the focus of your holiday or part of a more comprehensive tailor-made itinerary.
Our Available American Ranch Types
Resort Ranches
Resort ranches are the most luxurious. These ranches tend to be large, upscale resorts and offer all the comforts and amenities you would expect a hotel to have. They may have a hot tub or outdoor activities and the expected hotel experiences, spas, restaurants, etc.
Resort ranches are ideal for families and provide many activities to keep everyone busy. Riding is only one of the main activities; there could be fishing, tennis, golf, massage and spa treatments, sailing, and 4×4 jeep trips, along with a fully supervised children’s programme.
The ranch accommodations are very luxurious, and the food is usually gourmet. They are always in a beautiful setting, and the whole family with have a fantastic holiday.
Guest Ranch
Guest ranches are designed primarily to care for guests and offer a ranch atmosphere and a little more luxury than a typical ranch.
Guest ranches are perfect for a family getaway, with a fun and complete programme of activities where clients usually stay for a week (although some also offer three-night stays). Although they may offer other activities, riding remains the prime activity.
These ranches are especially suitable for all types of riders and can cater for the beginner upwards. Accommodation is usually in spacious lodges or cabins.
Working Ranch
Working ranches are the most basic and offer the most authentic ranch experience.
Depending on the chosen ranch, you may participate in the daily ranch activities that can include checking cattle, moving cattle to new grazing, cattle drives, branding, sorting cattle, checking fences and carrying out any ‘chores’ that need to take place during your stay.
What you do depends on the time of year, and if you want to ride along and observe, that is fine; whatever you decide, you will surely get an insight into cowboy life.
Lodging is basic, with essential amenities, and very comfortable.
