Majestic Dude Ranch – Mancos, CO

Don’t Stress – the ranch prepares 3 meals a day! (Even for your picky eaters)

Traveling with kids can be quite overwhelming, and finding a restaurant that pleases everyone’s taste buds can be a real challenge. You’ll ask everyone in the family, “Who wants tacos for dinner?” And you hear simultaneously, “I do!” and “No way!” and this process repeats itself until finally you order pizza and take it back to the hotel room. When it comes to meals at a dude ranch, you’re in good hands! The talented chefs take care of everything, ensuring that the whole family can enjoy delicious dinners without any worries. And if someone has a special dietary need, no problem! The chefs are happy to cater to all needs. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks are all planned out for you. Isn’t it wonderful? Moms can savor precious moments with their entire family without any concerns about tidying up, grocery shopping, or catering to their children’s preferences. It’s a time to cherish and enjoy together. Just let the kitchen know what your family needs in advance, and you’ll be all set for a delicious and hassle-free dinner every night of the week!

Chores Are Non-Existent

A family ranch vacation goes far beyond booking a typical hotel or even staying at a vacation rental home. Even when Mom is on vacation, her role is irreplaceable, requiring an entire team to step up and fill her shoes. And that’s just what we’ve got for you for your week at the ranch. With a two-to-one guest-to-staff ratio, moms won’t have to worry about cleaning up their cabin – a swat team of housekeepers are deployed every morning, that will sweep through every room, tidying up every sock and pj’s from the day before. And what about the dishes? There won’t be any fighting over whose turn it is. Mom certainly won’t have to do it, and neither will the kids. And not one time during the week will anyone have to vacuum dirt dragged in from the barn. If something breaks, no worries, maintenance crews are on staff with all the right tools.

The Activity Planning is Already Done

Moms can skip scouring the internet for activities. No more worrying about TripAdvisor reviews of outdoor adventures. The ranch will have you and the whole family covered for fun things to do. Take a deep breath and relax because you don’t need to plan a single step. Let us handle everything for you! You and the family can decide in the morning what you want to do. The beauty of dude ranches is the opportunity to choose what you want to do and that there is something for everyone at any age to enjoy!

UXU Ranch – Cody, WY

Everyone Can Be Together or Free to Be with Their Own Age Group

Sometimes the adults want to have some time together, and kids’ counselors make this easy and fun for everyone. With a full day of programming, your kids have the option to be with their peers all day playing games and learning about the Western cowboy lifestyle. And Mom and Dad can take some quality time to themselves as a couple.

Cell Phones Are Put Away

Without cell service in most locations and limited WIFI, everyone in the family will be encouraged to leave their phones alone. When you think about it, if you are spending your days at the barn riding horses or fishing, your hands are full, and won’t be able to carry around your cell phone. Today, a mother’s dream is to have minimal opportunities for electronics and something parents will enjoy at a family guest ranch vacation.

Hello Fresh Air and Sunshine!
