Wildcatter Ranch And Resort

“Absolutely out of this world!”

I do not think words alone can review this place, you have to see it and feel it. My piccies do not do it justice! The staff…amazing, so friendly and helpful. The rooms, we stayed in a cabin, beautiful. Just remember you are in the country…creepy crawlies are part of the experience. The food…gorge… lisää

I do not think words alone can review this place, you have to see it and feel it. My piccies do not do it justice! The staff…amazing, so friendly and helpful. The rooms, we stayed in a cabin, beautiful. Just remember you are in the country…creepy crawlies are part of the experience. The food…gorgeous, the activities, brilliant! The views were just breathtaking. Left it this morning for the next part of our USA Road-trip …missing it already! Don’t think about it…just book it!

Wildcatter Ranch was a good experience, rooms in the hotel were comfortable, staff when we checked in were very helpful giving lots of useful information.. We dined in the Steakhouse on our first night, it was busy, we waited for more than an hour after initial reservation time... Well worth the wait, steak was amazing... A special word of thanks to Rachel who was one of the most friendly, warm and helpful people we have met during our four weeks travelling in America.. She is extremely capable, efficient and a real asset to The Wildcatter Ranch... We enjoyed feeding the cattle and the horse riding, but we're disappointed that the Ranch wasn't a working ranch with more cattle, and ranching activities.. The pool was good with amazing views, but no shade in the intense Texas heat... this was disappointing too... Overall a pleasant stay...

“Friendly reception, great view, restaurant is ‘so-so’”

Arrived Saturday 10 May 2025, stayed 1 night. Very peaceful location. The young woman in the reception who checked me in had a positive and very kind attitude and was very welcoming and informative. Some goes for the one, who took care of and explained about the long-horn cattle that you can get to see up close at 9 am (including handfeeding them). Wildcatter Ranch is not a working ranch as such, hence do not expect that. Restaurant is so-so. My steak was ‘just-about-OK’, but breakfast was overpriced vs. quality. Overall a busy place when it has wedding-functions etc (weekends?).

“Lovely ranch - Not worth doing activities there though”

My husband and I stayed at the ranch for 2 nights 02-04SEP2025. The ranch is beautiful and unique and the location is good as it’s close to Graham if you need anything from a store or want to have any meals there.

My husband and I stayed at the ranch for 2 nights 02-04SEP2025. The ranch is beautiful and unique and the location is good as it’s close to Graham if you need anything from a store or want to have any meals there. 
The cabins are lovely spacious rooms with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. 
The pool area was really nice and we enjoyed the views. It could, however, use a bit more shade from the brutal heat!

 The steakhouse had good food and a nice view; however, I didn’t particularly like the use of baby carrots for the bourbon style carrots side as they tasted a bit ‘chemically’. 

I was expecting higher quality from a steakhouse... The staff at the ranch were overall quite friendly and welcoming, though most of the staff seemed junior/new to their roles. 

 The activities were well-organized and started on time. We enjoyed the morning horseback trail ride as it was very relaxing. Though friendly, I will say that the staff didn’t all seem to know much about the ranch and were not always able to answer our questions about it. Since the website advertises that the ranch hands are authentic cowboys/cowgirls, I really didn’t get this sense. For example, during the trail ride, neither of the 2 accompanying ranch hands said a whole lot. I expected a bit of background about the ranch or some small chat during the ride from time to time, but they didn’t seem very inclined to do this. I expected more in the way of hospitality for Texas, and I also expected a little more knowledge shared from the ranch hands. 

 We did clay shooting, which went well and was a neat experience, as well as archery. Additionally, we did a roping session, but that was a bit awkward. It was uncomfortable taking turns practicing in front of others and just waiting around for your next turn. It wasn't worth $15, that's for sure. The ranch hands were also off to the side having their own unrelated conversations, so they weren’t very engaged in the activity and were just looking for it to be over. Our questions were dismissed pretty quickly. This was typical for all of the activities. The activities were expensive to participate in considering the length and the amount of attention you get from the ranch hands. I didn’t think they were worth paying for and expected more.

 All and all, we had a nice experience at Wild Carter Ranch and I would recommend it to others with the above caveats about the activities.
