Great question!  We get the question "what is a dude ranch?" all the time! A dude ranch is a working ranch that also accepts guests. In other words, this is a real ranch that you are welcome to come be a part of! This is a taste taste of the old wild west (well, we add comfortable accommodations and amazing food that the original cowboys didn't quite have...).  

Got it, that's what a dude ranch is

We operate a dude ranch in Colorado (north of Vail) and accept guests during the summer to stay at our amazing hand-built cabins.
