Dude Ranch Vacation Extras

Gift shop purchases, gratuities, and therapeutic massages are the only things not included in your fare. Gratuities are voluntary, divided among all staff, and suggested at 10-15%.

Airport Suggestions For Planning Guest Ranch Travel Itineraries

For our guests who prefer to fly in, the nearest airport is a two-hour drive from the ranch and we suggest either the California Arcata/Mckinleyville airport (ACV) or the Medford Oregon airport (MDF). Shuttle service is available at $25/person each way ($150 minimum) and is free to guests staying on our 5 night package. Some of our guests are reducing air-fare by flying to San Francisco California or Grants Pass Oregon and building a Pacific Coast driving vacation onto their Guest Ranch stay. We are happy to suggest interesting vacation targets for those doing the scenic drive in.
