About DudeRanch.com

Howdy friend, and welcome to DudeRanch.com — your trusted guide to the finest ranch vacations beneath the wide Western sky.

Since 2009, DudeRanch.com has been the leading online guide for discovering the finest ranch vacations in North America, making it easy to find the perfect Western escape by destination, activity, or travel style.

With hundreds of distinctive ranches, trusted recommendations, and a dedication to genuine experiences, the site brings the spirit of the West to modern travelers seeking adventure, relaxation, or family connection.

From high country horseback adventures to family friendly cattle drives, or peaceful retreats where the only sound is the evening wind through the pines, we’ve corralled the very best ranches in one place.

We’re proud lifetime members of the Dude Ranchers’ Association (DRA) and associate members of the Colorado Dude & Guest Ranch Association (CDGRA), an honor that allows us to champion what we believe is the finest vacation experience on earth.

Now under new ownership as of September 2025, DudeRanch.com is riding into an exciting new chapter. In the months ahead, you’ll find fresh additions to the site — more ranch listings, an expanded showcase of lodges and inns, and new features highlighting our partners who host unforgettable weddings, retreats, and group gatherings.

For those who love a little retail therapy, our new Mercantile will feature Western inspired fashion, travel essentials, and unique gift items for the whole family. Not sure what to bring on your trip? We’re assembling practical packing lists with direct links to shop everything from the perfect boots, jeans, and hats to games and ranch essentials for everyone in the family.

So pull on your boots and follow the trail — we’ll help you find your frontier and experience the timeless spirit of the West.

Thanks for stopping by, partner.
