Vee Bar Guest Ranch

OUR EXPERIENCE WHILE ON SET

The Vee Bar Ranch totally lived up to everything I ever thought a ranch would be. Real cowboys work the ranch while their loyal dog roams the property keeping an eye on everything, including playing with the kids visiting the ranch. The charming cabins had a rustic feel, yet offered all the updated amenities and comforts of home. When you come to visit Vee Bar Guest Ranch be sure to take the time to REALLY look around at the decor. You can tell that the owners have put in a lot of effort to add details to the decor and atmosphere, creating an incredibly warm and welcoming environment.

OUR ADDITIONAL TIP

The Vee Bar is VERY popular so book early! What makes this experience amazing is that everything is included from the horseback riding to the evening entertainment, overnight camp outs, hayrides, river tubing, and even all the meals!

I think the biggest adjustment for all of us at first was the weak WiFi reception! If you come to the Vee Bar, plan to TRULY get away from it all, unplug and have a ball with the family. Meals are included at the ranch and they are hearty and delicious! However, if your kids like to snack, make sure you bring some with you for when the kitchen is closed at the ranch.

NEED MORE IDEAS???

We did a lot of research for the show! Though we couldn’t visit every destination, we did want to show you what else we found.

The Terry Bison Ranch, located just south of Cheyenne’s downtown, is another great option to check out with your family. The accommodations include cabins, an original bunkhouse from the 1900’s, and an RV park. Even if you don’t stay at the ranch, it is a great place to visit if want to learn more about bison. There is a train ride that takes you out in the middle of the ranch so you can actually feed the bison and the conductor will be able to answer questions. You can take your kids to the “Kid Corral” which is a fun spot with all kinds of rides. There is also horseback riding, pony rides and even a spot where they can fish in a private stocked pond. There’s something for every member of the family and it’s all about the experience. Oh and don’t pass up The Senator’s Steakhouse restaurant where you can try a few types of dishes made with bison meat. The Terry Bison Ranch culinary team won the Cheyenne, WY Ribfest with their popular bison ribs. Stay, eat and experience!
