Dixie Dude Ranch

We just had the best experience at Dixie Dude Ranch. The highlight- other than the great time my friends and I had together- were the staff of this ranch. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Specifically, Kathryn went above and beyond helping us with a wedding ceremony on site. She made the bouquet for the bride! She made sure there was something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue! So awesome! Rick was also awesome, there to help us set everything up and tear down. Loved the weekend! Thank you!

If we could give it more than five stars we would! The owner, staff, Wranglers, and fellow Ranch guests made this birthday celebration for our daughter one to remember for sure! This place is heaven on Earth for horse and animal lovers. Wish we were closer because we would come back again in for longer next time!

Dixie Dude Ranch was fabulous from the first welcoming ‘howdy’ to last ‘ya’ll come back’. Every detail is thought of and I can say you will not go home hungry! There are animals to pet, trail rides, hikes, fishing, swimming, hay rides, exploring, and so much to do. We hiked up to the buzzard cave and saw baby buzzards! Everyone is so kind! The accommodations are great and we enjoyed family style dining so we could get to know other folks on the ranch! We look forward to coming again!

While the majority of our visit was good, there were problems that visitors should be aware of. The rooms were extremely rustic, a little t ty oo rustic with few plugs for modern items. But I think they are forcing you to go without them. However, when the equipment involves my health then it’s a problem. Second, the wranglers for the most part are excellent. The lead one is rude and does not care about visitors. I was put on a horse with serious safety issues so bad I did not ride. Finally, don’t trust your quoted prices. I received a bill more than twice what I expected. And they quilted me into paying their amount by threatening to fire the friendly very nice lady who sent me the amount. If you go, watch yourself carefully!

The experience was overall a 7 out of 10. My 2 night stay was very comfortable . The cabin was clean and AC was on point . The food was excellent… The horse ride was exciting I felt safe and comfortable with the helpful cowboy staff. The discomfort was the entertainment which included a man popping a whip while giving false history of the whip. This caused me to leave his show… the surprising looks from most of the guests when I walked in to dinner . Also, a staff member advising me not to go to town because, “I came on vacation and could go back on probation “. Bye-the-Way, I’m Black. #Texascountrygirl
