Choosing The Best Guest Ranch

By: Christine Chou Home | Travel-and-Leisure


Guest Ranch Accommodations
One major consideration for any vacation is accommodations. What kind of guest ranch accommodation will suit your vacation needs? Are you looking for privacy? If so, you may want to consider a guest ranch that offers private cabins. Otherwise, lodge accommodations would be better and would allow you to mingle more easily with the other guests.

Guest Ranch Activities
What kind of activities do you want to do on your next guest ranch vacation? Do you want to experience life as a real cowboy? In that case, a Working Ranch is ideal. Do you like skiing, river rafting, skeet shooting or some other activity aside from horseback riding? There are guest ranches that offer an array of additional activities. Do you want to be pampered at the end of the day with a massage or facial? Look for a Ranch Resort Spa. How would you like to spend your evenings? Sing songs around a campfire? Dance? Play games? Watch a movie? Read or just relax? Many guest ranches offer nightly entertainment.

Family Guest Ranch Vacations
Will your next guest ranch vacation be with your children? Then make sure you go to a ranch that is child friendly and that they have a full kids program. There are many guest ranches that accommodate family groups and have a full kids program.

Weather Considerations
What kind of weather is ideal for your guest ranch vacation? Would you prefer summer activities or winter activities? Many ranches are open year round and their activities vary from season to season.

Horseback Riding
Are you an experienced rider? A novice? Need some lessons? Make sure that the guest ranch that you pick will suit your riding expectations and all your specific needs.

Guest Ranch Cuisine
What kind of food would you like to eat on your next guest ranch vacation? Do you have special dietary needs? Are you looking for comfort food or something a little more refined? Many ranches have chefs and also feature special nights like BBQ’s, or theme nights. Most ranches can also cater to special dietary needs if notified in advance.

Vacation Budget
How much do you want wish to spend? Guest Ranch Vacations vary from $900 to $3500 per person /per week which usually includes all meals and most activities. Guest Ranches vary from 1 star accommodation to 5 star accommodations. Some guest ranches offer basic rooms and others have more luxurious accommodations that may include cabins for bigger groups. Depending on what extra activities you may wish to do there are sometimes extra fees so check with each individual ranch beforehand.

Guest Ranch Location
Where would you like to go geographically on your next guest ranch vacation? Do you want to get away from it all and go somewhere remote or would you like to be near a major city or national park? There are guest ranches in almost every state and province in the US and Canada.

All of the above questions should be taken into consideration before booking your next guest ranch vacation to ensure that you have the best possible experience which meets all of your individual vacation expectations.
