The Remarkable Ranch Getaway In Pennsylvania That Will Turn Anyone Into A Cowboy

Remember how fun it was to pretend we were astronauts, ballerinas, or cowboys when we were kids? If we wanted to be a cowboy - or a cowgirl - we might pretend we were riding on our horse through the wilderness in search of a place to camp for the night. Now, we can make those dreams of living like a cowboy come true when we check into this dude ranch in Pennsylvania.

Turn your dreams into reality when you check into Malibu Dude Ranch, tucked among the Pocono Mountains in Milford. Leave your worries at the door because you're in for an authentic, unforgettable experience.

Sprawled across 800 lush acres, Malibu Dude Ranch first started in 1928 and is now known as "the oldest authentic working dude ranch east of the Mississippi River."

Embark on an all-inclusive getaway, or visit for a day. The charming dude ranch offers comfortable, authentic Western-style accommodations in the main lodge or in one of 19 picturesque cabins.

Of course, you'll probably want to spend plenty of time outdoors during your visit — regardless of the time of the year.

Saddle up for a scenic one-hour ride through the lush farm and to Laurel Acres. Bringing the kiddos along? Then, they'll probably love a pony ride (if they're between three and seven years old.) Horseback riding is unlimited.

And, what would a trip to a dude ranch be without helping the ranch's wranglers on an authentic cattle drive?

The ranch also offers such fun activities as archery, mini golf, guided ATV tours, a zipline, and paintball.

Then, can you think of a better way to end your day — with your fellow ranch guests — than gathered around a roaring bonfire?

Address: 351 Foster Hill Road, Milford, PA, 18337
