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

Stayed in Dixie during Nov of 2006 originally booked for 3 nights then left for Austin for a week. Got to my hotel in Austin and missed the ranch so much that I went back the next day for another week. Had a bit of a ghoslty experience in one of the cabins at night time but I think it... 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

Just returned from three days at Dixie Dude. We cannot wait to return. don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. Our cabin was cozy and warm. Food is incredible. Beautiful scenery everywhere you look. This is a working ranch. Not luxurious but you will have everything you need. We were two adults and an eight year old.... More

As a solo traveller, I have always opted for the big chain hotel where you are nothing more than a number on a door. There is some comfort in that type of anonymity. So booking the Dixie Dude Ranch was well outside my comfort zone. I was unsure how I would deal with the family style meals and close interaction... More
