Ranch resort vacations are popular for many reasons. Families like spending quality time together in a learning environment and relaxing in the great outdoors. Corporations use the ranch to foster a bond between co-workers, through hard work. Ranch resorts are real working ranches where individuals pay to visit and participate in all types of activities. The idea of the “dude ranch” started out of the romanticism of the old west. Wealthy folks traveled west to experience ranch life, and ranchers discovered a new way to make money.
Beaumont Ranch is an 800-acre working ranch central to Austin, Houston, Dallas and Ft. Worth, Texas. The ranch has Texas Longhorns, two 20-thousand square foot event barns, a bed and breakfast, an authentic western town and cowboys. Guests visit and they select what to do while on vacation. People who want the real ranch experience can participate in cowboy adventures, like trail rides and cattle drives. Cowboys enjoy Barbeque in Dallas every weekend. Cowboy enthusiasts learn how to ride a horse and lasso a cow. Guests who are seeking more adventure can ride ATV’s through acres and acres of prairie, rolling hills and thick woods. The ranch also boasts the longest zipline in Texas (over 15 hundred feet).
The ranch is prepared to handle events like weddings, family reunions and corporate team building. Ranch staff will help you plan a unique family reunion, including barbecue inDallas. There are several different facilities that are perfect for a wedding, including a romantic gazebo. Further, the ranch offers several wedding packages. There’s even a spa to get couples ready for the big day. Beaumonde spa offers full spa services including facials, reflexology and massage.
Corporations choose from three types of activities for team-building: competitive sports, western activities and a structured traditional program. The ranch offers a great team building exercise called “the amazing race.” Teams race through the ranch looking for their next clue using GPS devices. Young people will not get bored with the variety of activities. When they tire of the zip line, they can play disc golf or go fishing.
