 Choices:
At Double E Ranch
you always have plenty of options. We offer several very exciting riding
programs to suit many preferences. You can choose your length of stay,
choose your lodging and choose your activities.
If you are a new guest just arriving,
check in is 2 p.m. on Sunday
afternoon.
Take advantage of the opportunity to unpack, organize, unwind. Leisurely,
walk around and familiarize yourself with the Ranch compound. At 6 p.m.
meet at Headquarters to enjoy a hearty home cooked dinner, served family style.
Ranch Staff makes two
trips into the Silver City weekly: once on Saturday morning and once on
Sunday evening. If you wish to be picked up at the Airport or at the
Shuttle drop off point, you must advise the Office, in advance. Due to
elevated airport security regulations, we will not assume anything. It is
up to you to confirm your arrival/departure with both the airline and the
Ranch. Round trip airport/shuttle pickup charge is $50, unless your are
participating in our Cowgirl Camps or Roundup Weeks.
Rates:
We realize you
have many ranch vacation options: luxury resort ranches, mild mannered
dude ranches and honest to goodness working ranches. Many "resort" and
dude ranch vacations offer rates from $295/night to over $650/night, per person! Over the years, we have worked
exceptionally hard to keep our rates reasonable and as low as possible, even
with the rising cost of fuel and feed. Our guest capacity remains
small and
we make every effort to keep it at 12 guests, or less. Our rates quoted below
include three home-cooked meals daily for a Sunday evening to Saturday morning week, the use of saddle
horses and tack for 5 days (except Saturday and Sunday), exciting guided horseback riding,
often including cattle work, riding instruction, private, comfortable cabin accommodations with bath/shower, varying in size from one to four bedrooms and all ranch
activities and facilities, including the Cantina and complimentary laundry room.
Please remember: we are a 'working ranch' - not a resort. Your
active participation is expected. While not as convenient, a great way to
"save" is to arrive by 8 am on Monday morning; departing Friday afternoon prior
to 4 p.m. You save the expense of 2 nights! Please remember:
we pick up/drop off at the Silver City Airport ONLY Saturday morning and Sunday
evening. There are no Monday or Friday trips.
