A family-oriented guest ranch nestled high in the pristine wilderness of the San Juan Mountains and just 35 minutes from Durango, CO. Since 1956, The Majestic Dude Ranch (formerly the Lake Mancos Ranch) has been offering our guests a home away from home in the Colorado mountains. A week-long dude ranch vacation provides families with a lifetime of memories, whether that means long rides on a mountain trail, hikes in the neighboring national forest, catching a rainbow trout along the banks of a cool stream, or just relaxing by the fire with friends. Our rates are all-inclusive and provide everything under one per-person rate for the week. This includes all accommodations, meals, alcohol at happy hour and dinner, horseback riding, guided activities and excursions, our children’s program, airport shuttles, and taxes and fees.
At Majestic Dude Ranch, we offer a variety of cabin layouts designed to suit everyone — from families and groups to couples and solo travelers. Our goal is to provide plenty of space and comfort during your stay, which is why our rates are all-inclusive and per person, making booking simple and worry-free. Our accommodations range in size, however most of our cabins are two or three bedrooms with two private bathrooms. All cabins include a primary king bedroom featuring a Tempur-Pedic mattress. All rooms are recently remodeled with western decor and provide plenty of comfort, privacy and space. All cabins feature a living room, front porch with rocking chairs, a mini fridge and essential oil diffuser. Daily housekeeping is provided upon request, and we offer free wireless connection throughout the ranch during your stay. We will help you find the best accommodation available based on your group's needs and dynamics.
