I spent three days in May 2011 with 50kings.com, a group of about 40 digital entrepreneurs, at the Ranch. My first time on a horse, let alone doing all the things (moving cattle etc) that the ranch offers. It was an amazing experience. The staff is over the top friendly, the food, while heavy on carbs and calories, is just... More

For over 30 years, my friend, Cindy, and I had discussed going to a "dude" ranch. We both decided that we wanted an authentic ranch experience. It didn't have to be fancy. We didn't need a pool or televisions. But it did need to be within driving distance of Los Angeles. I began my research, poured over dozens of candidates,... More

My trip to Hunewill Ranch was an extremely authentic and relaxing vacation. The staff and family could not have been more welcoming and helpful. I attended Spring Cattle work as working cattle on horseback was what I really wanted to do, and happily, that is what I did for 3 days straight. Staff carefully matches horses with riders and give... More

Away from your television, and video games for those teenagers. If you can't live without those things for even a week maybe the ranch is not the place for your vacation. However if you... More

Having studied cattle ranching in the Eastern Sierras for several years and going out with cowboys and ranchers on non-dude ranch places as a researcher, I can say that the Hunewill Ranch is a great place to go for...

THE SIMPLE LIFE! Thats what this place brings to you as you can relax and take in the breathtaking views, or get right in on the action. Each morning around 5 am. about 100 horses are rounded up for the early ride after breakfast. My daughter wakes every morning to watch this, and the sound alone rumbling by your cabin... More

This is a place where you and your kids will have a wonderful time. The main emphasis is on horseback riding in groups varying in ability requirement, from total beginners to advanced riders with horses fitted to your ability, over wide-open spaces across 4,000 acres and much besides ( not the single file fashion of some dude ranches), with the...

If you are looking for a dude ranch, you can't do better than Hunewill Guest Ranch. It is in the Eastern Sierras (6 miles outside of Bridgeport, California), just east of the north end of Yosemite Park. The ranch has been in the Hunewill family since the 1860's. The family still owns and operates a working cattle ranch as well... More
