Ideas on resort/ranch accommodation near Ft. Worth???

Would like to spend a few days in Ft. Worth, possibly in a ranch-type environment. Anything you can recommend -- suitable for women?



Thanks

To the northwest of Ft. Worth is the wild catter ranch. Look at www.wildcatterranch.com for more information.

knr- is this somewhere you have been? It looks to be about 85 miles out of Ft. Worth- the website looks great. I know people who would love to go to a ';dude ranch'; a little closer to the Metroplex and it would be nice to be able to recommend it.




No, I haven%26#39;t been to the ranch. I found out about it last year and want to go, it looks really nice. It%26#39;s been a long time since i%26#39;ve been to a dude ranch, and that was in Bandera.




The Wildcatter is a nice place, we%26#39;ve been on site and eaten at the restaurant. I would in no way call it close to the metroplex. Probably at least 1 1/2 hrs away.




Rough Creek is a 4 star resort in a ranch setting.

It is about an hour from Ft. Worth by Glen Rose.




My wife and I had our rehersal dinner at Rough Creek Lodge, and I can attest to its being a first class destination. It was named the Condé Nast Johansens Most Outstanding Lodge in North America and has been named one of the Dirona Distinguished Restaurants of North America every year since 2003. They also offer a wide variety of recreation and hunting activities.





This is a five star lodge, with top notch accomodations and dining. This is NOT your typical dude ranch.




Thank you for the recommendations of Wildcatter Ranch. My girlfriend and I went there for a couple of days -- to check it out as a good destination for my girlfriends%26#39; getaway blog.





It was a terrific guest ranch -- I personally wouldn%26#39;t call it a dude ranch (and I explain that in my first post about the ranch.) Its Web site is wonderful and very true to life. We absolutely loved it, loved the accommodations, the activities and the restaurant. Most of all, we loved the people -- very genuine, down-to-earth and thoughtful. It appeared to us that no detail was left out as they planned and built this guest ranch -- it%26#39;s only about 1-1/2 years old. We thought it would be a terrific destination for a group of gals who want to really get out of their daily lives with some new and fun experiences.





We plan to return later this year with our families.
