Welcome to Gordon's Guide to Guest Ranches and dude ranch vacations.
We have a collection of over one hundred guest ranches offering some of the finest guest ranch vacations across North America.
Steeped in the western tradition of the cowboy, each guest ranch property is unique with its own distinct character, from working cattle ranches,
to resort properties, they all promote the western way of life and prioritize the needs of the guest.
Horseback riding is a part of every guest ranch vacation and accommodations vary from rustic to luxurious. Other activities include swimming, fishing, rafting, sightseeing, and much more. Food is always bountiful and hearty and in some cases, gourmet.
