Music and Dancing
To add to the experience, guests are treated to music and dancing shows throughout the summer season and sometimes in the off-peak season. Look forward to cowboy bands and other musical groups and enjoy a good old line dance.
The Mayan Dude Ranch is a Texan icon, offering the authentic ranch experience in the heart of the countryside. Experience a place where time has stood still: mighty grills, trail rides and authentic accommodations create the atmosphere of a genuine working ranch plus the stunning location, set above the tranquil Medina River, only adds to the ambience. Take to the hills in one of the Lodge Rooms for great views over Bandera and the countryside or cosy up in an authentic native stone cottage and spend your days making the most of the surroundings. Fish, swim and ride to your heart’s content and when the sun goes down you can dine in true Texan style with a meat-heavy feast accompanied by great live entertainment.

Horse Riding
As with any good ranch, the Mayan Dude features a range of horses. Ride through the landscape and enjoy the Texan countryside the only way it should be enjoyed – on horseback.
Hayride
As the ranch is so large and the activities so diverse, it takes a lot of walking to get around from one place to another. Why not instead take advantage of the hayride service to get there faster? Enjoy a traditional ride through the wilderness to the Cowboy Breakfast or maybe head out under the stars and stop by a friendly campfire for a sing-along.
Sports and Activities
Alongside the rides, the pool and the entertainment there are plenty of extra activities to be enjoyed. Why not try fishing, ping pong, tennis, basketball or volleyball in the free time left over during the day?
Swimming Pool
If you want to cool down then take advantage of this Texan-sized swimming pool.
