Honestly, the best part of the whole weekend was the rodeo! It was great! Wish it was closer so we could see it more often. They also had a street party outside the saloon after the rodeo that was fun. All the kids loved it! We expected a down home, western, "Howdy Partner" welcome, but the staff seemed miserable the...

This is the best dude ranch for all ages. We have been going here for years, and it gets better every time we go. This year we took our grandson, we use to take our two daughters. A vacation to remember and something for every age. Make sure you see the rodeo.

We arrived on a Monday and stayed for 3 days. It was a part of our Honeymoon getaway (we had a western wedding so the resort was very fitting) The staff was not misleading with any information given to us. We knew certain attractions were closed before we arrived, and yet we still had so much fun with what was... More

If your going to rent a Studio Cabin, beware..........the photo in very misleading. Look at the square footage, at 329 Sq. Ft. theres no room left to even walk around when there are 2 people in the space with no place to store luggage or food items. For one person it's perfect but 2.........no way !!!!!!!!!!!

Made reservations for Wednesday through Friday, and were initially excited about experiencing everything the ranch had to offer. Unfortunately, nowhere on the web site did it mention that all activities are not available during the week. We understood that the rodeo was only held on the weekend, but it was not obvious that everything else was also. We arrived early... More

We stayed at Westgate River Ranch over a weekend and had a fantastic time! Given the "Dude Ranch" theme, had fairly low expectations, which were surpassed by far! This place is a real value and highly entertaining in comparison to the high priced theme parks/accommodations in nearby Orlando. The great thing about the River Ranch is that it's family friendly...

What a fun step out of the ordinary for us City Dwellers. There's something for all ages at this fully operational "ranch". You can do as much or as little as you like for reasonable rates. Our room had an efficiency kitchen and screened-in porch with table and chairs. We bring our food but there's a well stocked "general store"... More

This ranch is fantastic. We were two moms with our 9 year old sons, stayed 2 nights and had "the real deal western experience" right here in Florida! I traveled all over the world. I find trip advisor VERY accurate to the point I rarely would book a trip or hotel without consulting the trip advisor reviews. Therefore let me... More
