My family spent three days at the ranch and, a wonderful three days it was. A working ranch with caring people to share and teach everything they knew about the care and feeding of the farm animals. They shared stories about how Cowboys lived and worked on the range. How they ate and how they would prepare their meals. We were truly blessed to have such wonderful folks to show us the ropes of care for and feeding the horses. And all this, right here in the middle of Tennessee. Great location, great people, wonderful vacation.

My family and I had a beautiful experience at the Tennesee Dude and Guest ranch! We had never ridden horses before, and we learned so much about a working farm. Our wranglers (Ashley, Brynn, Jared, Tyler, Natalie) and horses were so wonderful and patient. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun (and not necessarily easy,...lots of chores!!) and fulfilling vacation.

We did the Farm Stay experience for 5 days... to say the experience was amazing would be the understatement of the century? Everybody there was so friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to teach. The ministry they have through their animals is truly beautiful, just like scenic, rolling hills they are nestled in. I can't wait to go back!Rooms: Very comfortableNearby activities: Historic park is home to old coke furnaces in Dunlap.Safety: Quiet, secluded. No traffic to worry about.Food & drinks: Great food. Literally farm to table fresh.Noteworthy details: Not your average get-away. It's up early everyday, doing farm chores, and being responsible for taking care of your horse. Hard work, but incredibly relaxing at the same time. Soul cleansing and inspirational.

I spent 4 wonderful days here with a friend. We were so welcome and it felt very family-like. Everyone is very helpful and friendly with the guests. The ranch is very well maintained and the animals are in optimal condition. Animals and people are treated patiently and lovingly. You get a horse that is right for you and that you look after yourself! The rider is patiently introduced to cleaning, caring for, haltering and saddling and completes test rides in the riding arena before the trail rides. Our Wranglers were excellent! We rode wonderful paths with an incredibly beautiful view! Everything chilled and absolutely stress-free! In over 40 years of riding experience, I have never seen such a patient approach to riders and horses. The food is so delicious and healthy. Campfire, marshmallow - everything included. Including Bible studies on horseback.Thank you very much for the wonderful experience! And greetings to my horse =)FranMany thanks to the entire team

Our family was so blessed by our vacation stay at the Tennessee Dude and Guest Ranch. They do so many things before you even arrive to make sure you have an amazing stay. Scenery is beautiful. Our wranglers (Chris, Sarah and Ashley) felt like extended family by week’s end. Loved all the farm to table food experiences. Bible study daily kept us centered too.

Tammy Young and staff had a wonderful event with things for everyone age to enjoy and it's such a blessing that no foul language spoken and they treat everyone like family and very organized I really hope they continue to have family events like today all proceeds go to ministry work and I am guessing the ranch and community

We visited the ranch for a riding experience and had an awesome time. They thought the boys everything they needed to do to get the horses ready to ride, went through a short practice run in the corral to assess their skills and had a ride around the ample and beautiful property. Our ride included forest, grassy areas and riding along the river. After the ride they groomed the horses and let them cool down. We look forward to visiting again with friends.

We took our daughter for her 10th birthday celebration and it was an amazing experience! She loved every minute of it! The staff is super helpful and friendly! We could tell they enjoyed their jobs, the animals and the farm. Everyone made us feel welcome and we hope to go back to bring the rest of our family. The trail ride was spectacular and we received a great training prior to heading out from Natalie. The breakfast was homemade and delicious! Ashley led us in a spectacular Bible Study and Alexis had a great fire waiting for us one evening! Sarah was also excellent with the horses and our daughter. This is the experience of a lifetime and we loved every minute. The cowboy cabin was perfect for us and we plan to stay in one next time. The animals are obviously the highlight of the weekend! Thanks everyone!

This was such a fun trip! My family stayed at the ranch and we all got to learn to ride. The views on the trails were incredible. It was so fun learning how to do the chores and getting hands-on experience. Also, the breakfast tasted so fresh and it was amazing! 10/10 experience - will be coming back.

I cant say enough about the feel of this place. They love the Lord, and it shows. They ALL take good care of their guests and make everyone feel welcome. Do you need a family vacation, then this is your place. My granddaughter, (11 yrs), said this was better than Disney.

This was some of the best riding I have ever had. No nose to tail rides. Beautiful scenery. The wranglers were so helpful with all we did. I have been to 3 other ranches and never had this much control of my horse. I fed him, cleaned the stall , saddled him, he was mine in every aspect. I loved it. I loved it so much we are going back in April for another week. One thing that stood out was the horse ride to church. I can't wait to get back on Scout.
The people at the ranch, wow that is as close as I can get. They will be friends for life.
