guest ranch
Vacation cattle property
A guest ranch is a working or former cattle ranch that accommodates paying visitors, offering horseback riding, outdoor activities, and a taste of Western rural life.
Also called a dude ranch, these properties range from rustic to luxurious and typically provide meals and lodging along with supervised ranch experiences.
We spent a week at a guest ranch in Montana learning to rope cattle.
