Mayan Dude Ranch

A++++++ As The Muslim Cowboy, I love the south and horses and ranches and BBQ ETC The service and the events and activities were spectacular. The rustic lodges were very clean and serviced daily. They took incredible care of the horses and we all felt safe riding them EVEN MY 1 yr old!!! Ryan is gosh darn the best ranch hand I’ve ever met and truly is an amazing person who made friends with my whole group right off the bat and has such a gift with people and horses Since I don’t drink, I didn’t take part in any of those activities but they had a world record roper and bull whip expert, they had hay rides and super cool outdoor activities I don’t want to spoil for your next trip. The hospitality and personality of the family who runs it was so warm and welcoming that I cannot thank them enough. Highly highly recommend.

We arrived in a super hot Sunday afternoon, without any reservation and really thirsty. The ranch owner was extremely hospitable, we had access to the ranch, they offer us a good coffee and some sodas. What a shame we could spend a couple of night there… If you are in the Bandera surrounding, consider to book a stay there.

Totally exceeded expectations! So grateful for our three generation family visit to Mayan. Age 8-74y thoroughly enjoyed 4 nights. I was worried we were staying too long, but it was a great amount and could've been longer. The pool was wonderfully refreshing and the food was plentiful and delicious. The lone vegetarian was constantly happy and stuffed. Amazing history at Mayan and an incredibly warm hardworking staff who are largely all family. We want to return with other family who were very jealous they didn't join this time around. Tips: Go to the river. Bring water shoes, jump in with the rope swing. Boots not necessary for the riding. Definitely bring a brimmed hat and don’t forget your own pool towels.

We enjoyed a Memorial Day Week getaway to the Mayan, a family operated, legendary dude ranch. Very clean rooms and pool as well as dining areas. The staff was very friendly and there was a daily schedule to guide your activity choices, or you could do things like tennis or horseshoes/pingpong. The food was good. We will be back.

Loved it!! Just left and had an amazing time. The food is really good and everyone was so much fun to talk to. The location of it was so pretty and definitely wanna go again!
