You Can Get a True ‘Yellowstone’ Experience at This California Dude Ranch With Horses, a Saloon, and Western-inspired Chef-crafted Meals

“Yellowstone” aired its last episode ever on Dec. 15, though we’re sure there are plenty of spinoffs to come. But while you wait to see which characters or Dutton ancestors get their own series, why not take a trip to a real-life ranch that’s way easier to get to than rural Montana? And don’t worry — there are still cowboy vibes aplenty.

Tucked away in Northern California’s Lost Sierra region sits Greenhorn Ranch. The all-inclusive dude ranch is less than an hour and a half drive from Reno, Nevada, and has invited travelers to get in touch with their inner cowpoke for more than six decades. It’s the ideal, within-reach dupe for the Dutton homestead. Sprawling out over 608 picturesque acres, the property invites guests to explore the land by hiking, biking, or with a horse for the full effect.

“Greenhorn Ranch is a rare gem [that’s] still untouched by the bustle of modern life,” Peter Derbonne, the owner of the ranch, said to Travel + Leisure. “From our all-inclusive hospitality and diverse activities to the stunning natural beauty that surrounds us, Greenhorn Ranch provides the perfect balance of adventure and tranquility. It’s a place where families create traditions, friends become family, and every visit feels like coming home.”

Guests can have their pick of accommodations, which range from the property’s renovated rustic cabins, cozy lodge rooms, or a refurbished Airstream trailer. To start and end the day, visitors can dig into gourmet grub created by the ranch’s on-site chef, Brian Doyle; his dishes are meant to evoke the spirit of the West and involve plenty of prime cuts and fresh fish. After dinner, head to The Saloon for whiskey, cocktails, line dancing, and country music.

“At Greenhorn Ranch, we hope our guests leave with a deep sense of connection — connection to nature, to loved ones, and to themselves. Our goal is to provide a place where guests can unplug, unwind, and rediscover the simple joys of life,” Derbonne said. “Whether it’s the thrill of riding a horse across our sprawling acres, the serenity of casting a line in our fishing pond, or the camaraderie found around a campfire at The Saloon, we want every guest to take home cherished memories, a sense of adventure, and a renewed spirit.” 

The ranch is open seasonally from May through October, so make your reservations and start rewatching all of “Yellowstone” now to prepare for your visit.
