Experience an authentic working horse and cattle ranch tucked away in the heart of New York State’s legendary Catskill Mountains. Driftwood Ranch Resort captures the spirit of the West with rustic charm and elegance, where mountains, rolling meadows, and sparkling streams blend seamlessly with modern comforts.

The character of the cowboy lives on in this heartfelt tribute to his character and code in our Museum Suite at Driftwood Ranch. Many of the decorative elements of this suite were part of this 1992 special exhibit, My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys, at the Rochester Museum of Science and Nature. Relax and enjoy a handcrafted king-size bed, cozy office area, warming stone fireplace, dedicated dining, and comfortable sitting areas- each reflecting rugged elegance, comfort, and style.

Immerse yourself in the authentic daily life of a genuine working horse and cattle ranch. This is a unique opportunity to experience ranch life firsthand. You are invited to observe and capture photographs of our routine activities, which include feeding the cattle, grooming the horses, conducting daily exercises for the horses, training our young horses in the round pen, and watching cowboys hone their rodeo skills.

Our guests are welcome to explore our ranch, visit the barns, fish our ponds, and hike our trails. For safety reasons, we ask that you do not go into the fields with the longhorn cattle and horses unless accompanied by a staff member.

Driftwood Ranch Resort is also available for corporate retreats.
