We are rustling up more than just good food and cattle here at our Dude Ranch in our all inclusive "American Plan" package. Whether you are into horseback riding vacation, whitewater rafting, cattle drive, team penning, sitting back and enjoying the Smoky Mountains with a live bluegrass band, or taking a swim in the heated pool, we have the family vacation for you.
Our Dude Ranch vacation is just like most of the Dude Ranch's you'll find out west, we are just closer to the east. Our old western town look gives you the feel of being in the old west. Our horse program is a hands on experience too, because you get to learn how to groom and saddle your ranch horse that you get for the week. We just don't hand you a horse to ride like most ranches, it's more like you brought your own. Horse lovers heaven is what we like to call it!
We are happy to provide all Arabians for your riding enjoyment. Our horses are part of our family and live here at the ranch year round, so you can ride the same one each year. You'll enjoy the time you get to spend with your "ranch" horse all week long! (we've got the carrots) We do have weight and age requirements, so check out the frequently asked questions (FAQ) page for details.
You also get to save the flight money for other things. We are 4 hours from Atlanta, Nashville & Charlotte, 5 hours from Cincinnati, and 8 hours from Washington D.C., all within a days driving distance.
Our trail views are some of the best you'll ever experience!
New trail system coming in 2005, with a 50 mile view of the Appalachian divide, absolutely gorgeous!!!
Our 2004 itinerary was action packed, but check out our new 2005 itinerary, even better!!!
Our Dude Ranch is a premier Smoky Mountain Dude Ranch, for family vacation. We get big families, small families, couples, and singles that come to our Dude Ranch every year, and they come back again too! (check out our new repeat guest discounts) They all arrive as strangers, and leave as friends and family.
