For over 85 years, Dixie Dude Ranch in Bandera, Texas, has been welcoming visitors from across the world to the heart of the Texas Hill Country, and the tradition shows no sign of slowing. Just an hour from San Antonio, this fifth-generation working ranch sits on 725 unspoilt acres of sweeping Hill Country scenery, where longhorn cattle, Spanish goats and real working cowboys are still very much part of daily life. Founded in 1901, Dixie Dude is no resort - it's an authentic stock ranch where horses are worked, rodeos are competed in, and every meal is home-cooked. Near Bandera, proudly known as the Cowboy Capital of the World, it offers a genuine taste of the Old West that's increasingly rare to find.

Whether you're planning a family holiday, a honeymoon, or a reunion, Dixie Dude Ranch has the space and spirit to make it memorable. Guests enjoy horse riding, spectacular sunsets and star-filled skies far from city lights, with comfortable rooms, cabins and a spacious Ranch Headquarters providing all the modern comforts you'll need. The ranch's ethos is simple and warmly meant: this is your home on the range. If you're looking for somewhere to properly unwind, stretch your legs and breathe fresh air - with a healthy dose of Texan hospitality thrown in - this is exactly the place.
