Here’s your Friday getaway:

tennessee dude and guest ranch

This trip is perfect for travelers:

who like unusual experiences, horses, or rustic adventures

Where to go: Dunlap, Tennessee

Drive time: 2 hours and 19 min

What to do:

1. dude ranch vacation and packages

Book a minimum 2-night stay.

Wake up with the roosters, help milk the cows, gather fresh eggs, and feed the horses! Eat breakfast on the porch then meet your working horse. Receive a cowboy training session then hit the trails! Enjoy dinner, cowboy style, then spend the evening roasting marshmallows and listening to nature!

Still on the fence? Ask our Weekend Trips from Nashville group members if they’ve ever had a dude ranch experience!

2. family farm stays

Want to enjoy the farm without the trail rides? Or have younger kids who can’t ride a horse yet? Live like an old-fashioned family in the 1800’s, grinding wheat, milking the cows, and caring for the horses!

3. ranch and ride day trips

Can’t spend the night? Day trips and trail rides can be arranged for your party for 4 hours or 6 hours.

Like the Tennessee Dude and Guest Ranch but want MORE to do, add a stop here, just one hour away.
