Dixie Dude Ranch

by Dixie Dude Ranch
(Bandera, Texas)

Welcome to the Dixie Dude Ranch

The Dixie Dude Ranch is nestled in the spectacular Texas Hill Country. We are a real working ranch where longhorn cattle, cashmere goats, and pigs are raised, where real cowboys work the horses and compete in rodeos, and where the meals are always home cooked. And when we tell a guest "This is your home on the range", we mean it.

Located near Bandera, Texas, proclaimed as the Cowboy Capitol of the World, the Dixie Dude is not a resort ranch. We are an old-time working stock ranch founded by William Wallace Whitley in 1901, in our fifth generation of showing you true Texan hospitality.

Situated on 725 acres, the Dixie Dude Ranch offers fine vistas of the spectacular Texas Hill Country, with plenty of room to relax, catch a glorious sunset or kick up your heels.

Our rooms, cabins and spacious Ranch Headquarters provide all the modern comforts your family will need to create the vacation of a lifetime.
