We just spent a couple of days at the Dixie Dude Ranch and absolutely loved it! My whole family enjoyed the peacefulness, hospitality of the staff, the food was amazing - you will never go hungry. Pancho, Sancha and Bravo (3 amazing dogs) are quite helpful when going on a hike. They make great tour guides. I cannot say enough... More

My husband & I took our granddaughter (who loves horses) to the Dixie Dude Ranch to celebrate her 13th birthday. It was PERFECT!! The ranch is rustic, yes, but peaceful, relaxing and CLEAN!! The food is amazing and LOTS of it! The entire staff was warm and welcoming. The hilltop Cowboy Breakfast was AMAZING!! We all had a BLAST and... More

I had a conference in San Antonio so decided to take the whole family for our first trip to Texas. We regretted only booking two nights at the Dixie Dude Ranch! It was by far the best part of our time in Texas and the very best vacation we've EVER had. The cowboys and staff are so kind and thoughtful... More

Food - amazing and plentiful Everyone really is friendly & and that includes the 3 dogs and cats! They are all extremely competent in their roles (I'm still including the animals here!). Cabins are great clean, tidy and roomy, just sitting out on the deck watching the world go by is great. The horseback rides were at a sedate pace... More

THis is our second dude ranch experience and we loved it! Again, no cellular signal so we were able to be "unplugged," away from emails and phones. The horseback riding was fun, but would of liked to have the opportunity to have more interactive experience with the horses and riding lessons. THe food was delicious. The okra dish was so... More

This 2 night stay was so worth it, we only booked a week in advance and as a last minute thought. it was just my husband and I, we are Brits but living in St Louis now and Texas has been on our 'to do' list. we drove here via Dallas and Austin and found this a fantastic place to... More

I'm a "city" person and went to the Dixe Dude Ranch only because my daughter loves horses and always wanted to go a Dude Ranch. So, my wife, son, daughter and I chose the Dixie Dude Ranch for a 3 day stay on of AAA recommendation. I expected to grin and bare it while my daughter rode the horses. To... More

I grew up raising horses and wanted my city-raised 13 year old son to find comfort around horses. To this end it was perfect- the horses are well-cared for and the staff is wonderfully encouraging. But for anyone who would like to feel a bit of the wind in their hair, this is not the place for you. The food... More
