Whether not the OP should visit one depends on his/her desire to partake in the riding or other activities available (no prior experience necessary).

Check out the Dude Ranchers Association website.
Like I said, this is kind of a religious discussion.
That said, if you haven't been to a real ranch and are not a complete city slicker, you should definitely give it a try.

Cibolo Creek Ranch
Did anybody mention this place www.cibolocreekranch.com? Stayed there 12 years ago and liked it a lot. Remote is the word on this place but nice to have this ranch when visiting the Donald Judd Foundation (www.chinati.org) and the town of Marfa and the Marfa mystery lights.

Does Ventana in Big Sur count? If so, we've stayed there several times. I've always wanted to make it to Rabbit Hill Inn.

Sorry to bump this thread a bit.
Thinking of doing a drive from Chicago to Denver, via Mt. Rushmore. Any luxury in South Dakota/Nebraska/Western Iowa or Minnesota that comes to mind? Canoe Bay seems promising but it's 100% non-smoking which isn't ideal for me.

Prairie Club...former cattle ranch became the region’s premier golf resort upon opening in 2010—though that was mostly by default, it remains an appealing place to spend a few days. Decked out in clubby dark wood and leather, the 40,000-square-foot lodge strikes a modern note; the vibe is Western, but the rural curios (skulls, farm stuff) are kept to a tasteful minimum. Larger groups seeking privacy might grab one of the luxury cabins perched on the rim of the Snake River canyon.
