Are you looking for a secluded but adventure-filled vacation this summer? Have you considered a luxury ranch vacation? Ranches are located on large areas of land far from cities creating a perfect environment to escape the hustle and bustle. They feature an abundance of activities such as horseback riding, hiking, and fly fishing. If you are not feeling energetic, you can sit on your patio and enjoy the views, or be pampered at the spa.
Several types of ranches exist with many features for you to consider:
- Is the ranch all-inclusive?
- What type of experiences does the ranch offer?
- Is the ranch more cowboy-focused or does it offer broader adventure?
- Does the ranch offer shared or private experiences?
- Are there age restrictions at the ranch?
- Does the ranch have a minimum night stay?
- How far is the ranch from an airport?
- Do you prefer a rustic vs. contemporary style ranch?
