Our family enjoyed the hospitality of the new owner, Diane, and the wonderful wranglers Melissa, Daryl, Kelsey and Slim. The wranglers did a great job detting everyone in our group well suited to a horse and made sure everyone was comfortable with the instructions before getting under way. We enjoyed our rides on the ranch and the adjoining park. Breathtakingly... more

We stayed at the Running-R a year ago for the first time. We spent seven days there and totally fell in love with the place. Our daughters (now ages 10 and 8) have begged for a year to go back, so we went again last week for two days on our way out to New Mexico from Louisiana. It was... more

The staff was polite and the facility was very clean. (rustic but clean) We took 7 teenage girls and they had a blast. The horse riding was the highlight but other than that, there wasn't anything to do. The ranch offered no group activities or entertainment. We took board games, snacks and drinks. The cost provided breakfast and lunch (good... more

The best vacation I had in all my life! I loved the staff, the horses were treated really well and the food was excellent. I'm riding since I'm a child and I found this place really fun, because they were able to adapt to my skills. I was often alone with one of the wranglers and we had fun, riding... more

I used TripAdvisor to review dude ranches in the Bandera area and after our stay there I can say that most of the positive reviewers are accurate. I have some constructive feedback to offer but can say without reservation that we will return to the Running R Ranch. Took the family there in April. Wife, three kids and me were... more

We enjoyed most of our visit to the Running R! The food was wonderful! The people friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the fact that the ranch hands ate with the guetss. We got to know them and their families which made us feel like family. The cabins were very comfortable and immaculate (thanks Teresa) ! The owners were strict about... more

I just returned from the most wonderful visit to Running R Ranch. The property is lovely, the cabins clean and quaint with nice little touches, like a beautiful potted geranium on my porch! The horses are well cared for and treated like horses, not machines or pieces of equipment, and the staff could not have been more friendly. The riding... more

just returned from a trip to the Running R Ranch and wanted to briefly share my experiences with potential visitors. From start to finish I was impressed with the organization and attention to personal details that really made this ranch trip seem like a visit with friends ( the owners Ralph and Iris are sweethearts and their manager Lou has... more
