This was our 4th time here (and 3rd time in the past 3 years)! You can stay one night, 2 nights or as many as you wish (unlike the other dude ranches where you must stay on specific dates for X amount of days). If you stay one night, you get 3 full meals and 1 horseback ride (check-in at... More

I took my daughters to Rankin Ranch last week, and had a wonderful experience. The owners are genuinely delightful people, and the employees took such good care of us. I am not a horse person, but I definitely enjoyed my stay. The girls loved petting and feeding the animals, and riding through the beautiful scenery. We also had fun meeting... More

If you can, spend a weekend at Rankin Ranch or a week if you can afford it. It is the perfect family vacation spot, especially for city dwellers in need of peace and quiet. My family and I have visited 4 times and hope to return again soon. If I am fortunate enough to have grandchildren one day, I will... More

Rankin Ranch is a very special place which we have been staying at for several years. The Rankin family is incredibly kind and caring, and the horseback riding is terrific, especially for the infrequent rider. This is old-fashioned fun (horseshoes, square dancing, catching frogs) and the food is family fare (steaks, turkey, burgers), but a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Every summer my granddaughter and I take a special trip together. This June 2012 we visited the Rankin Ranch and it was the best trip ever. I found the ranch by doing an Internet search and it was everything we had hoped for...and more. We chose this place mainly for the horseback riding but enjoyed the warm hospitality of the... More

Thank you to the Rankin Family for a wonderful time. This was our first visit but definitely not our last! We stayed in April 2012 (2 adults/2 kids 6 & 8) and although we were not prepared for snow we had a great time. All of the activities were wonderful and it was so much fun to experience Square dancing.... More

We have been coming to Rankin Ranch for 10+ years. It is a fabulous vacation or weekend getaway. The Rankins are a great family that welcome you wholeheartedly into their private heaven and family. Adults love it, kids love it and what is not to love...great accommodations, friendly staff, great food, amazing scenery, peace and quiet and wonderful horseback rides.... More

Our family has visited Rankin Ranch (grandparents, parents, chuildren) for nine years straight. Not only that, but my husband used to vacation here as a child. I agree with everything that the other reviewers have said about friendliness, complete relaxation and natural beauty. The magic of this place is that the simpler things become fun. Suddenly, children are gloriously happy... More

Thanks to everyone at Rankin for making our stay so memorable. We stayed for 3 nights in August 2011 with 2 children (under 10). The horse riding and activities for the kids were excellent. We really enjoyed everything, but especially the reptile show, evening BBQ, the lovely warm swimming pool, the petting farm, the beautiful scenery and relaxing atmosphere -... More
