    Amazing ranch experience. Clay, Diane, Kathlyn and Pam were so friendly and welcoming and really made you feel like part of the family. Extremely rustic feel on the ranch with superb views. The food at each meal was excellent. The horses were beautiful and the trails breathtaking scenery. Wranglers Jacob, John and Ana were helpful and great fun. Will definitely be seeing y'all again🤠.

    This ranch is brilliant. The staff are lovely. Randy checked us in and showed us everything that we needed. The food is great, there is something different everyday. Your just a 15 minute drive from the town of bandera. It's a lovely little town everybody is lovely and welcoming. They treat you like family. One tip if staying here make sure you bring something to wear on your feet after you've had a shower. Other than that it's a great place to come and you'll enjoy everything. The horse riding is cool and they do different times so everyone can do it. They have a Jukebox in reception which is open 24 hours. John and Jacob aswell as Anna the wranglers are brilliant, they match you to a horse and are really funny . Thanks again for everything.

    Wonderful experience! The property is beautiful with a stocked pond you can fish in, hiking trails, a swimming pool, pickleball court, horseshoes and more. The horse rides were our favorite, but wish the horses had better equipment (saddle pads were very thin and worn out) and they seemed over worked. This made the rides feel a little less enjoyable. The staff are friendly, the food is amazing, and it has a great family atmosphere. The mattresses need replaced and all double beds need to be queen sized. We’ve stayed twice and both times the mattresses were not ideal and the double bed was way too small for 2 adults. We have wonderful memories from Dixie Dude Ranch and love that it’s a family business.
