Dude Ranch Christmas Photos- Ideas for Festive Holiday Ranch Style

Historic Lone Mountain Ranch is staged for a Montana cowboy Christmas with this wooden snowshoe decorated with a big red bow, pine cones and holly. 

We love a good gingerbread house. Decorating one yourself or with your kids makes for a nice, personalized holiday decoration. The Resort at Paws Up has an Annual Guest Gingerbread House Making Contest over the holidays, a yummy way to get in the spirit.

C Lazy U's main lodge stands out amid the Colorado snow for Christmas. Carols, a visit from Santa, gingerbread houses, sleigh rides, sledding, Christmas tree decorating and more... Christmas is a festive time of year at this luxury guest ranch and the simple white lights are classic Christmas decorations.

In Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Vista Verde Ranch's main lodge has a classy Christmas feel with evergreen wreaths over the fireplace, festive centerpieces and garland.

Okay, so maybe you can't bring in a horse drawn sleigh, but if you do drive at home, why not festoon your cart or carriage with garland and big red bows? Bar W Guest Ranch in Montana does this and takes guests out for evening sleigh rides.

Every ranch needs a string of horse lights! At Western Pleasure Guest Ranch in Idaho, the ranch is decorated inside and out. 

Cowboy Christmas ornaments decorate the tree at Elkhorn Ranch in Arizona, a warm weather getaway.
