Vee Bar Guest Ranch: Western vacations in southeast Wyoming

Vee Bar Guest Ranch is a family-run guest ranch (dude ranch) located near Laramie, in southeast Wyoming. It presents itself as a vacation destination for families, couples, and groups seeking an authentic Western experience, with horseback riding as the central activity and an activity program that also includes fishing, hiking, river tubing, trap shooting, camping, cattle work, and hayrides.

Cabin and suite accommodations by the river

Accommodations are divided between Riverside Suites and Cabins 1, 2, and 3. The riverside suites let you hear the water from the porch, while the cabins feature Western decor, fireplaces, and beds described as comfortable. The ranch also operates as a bed and breakfast during certain seasons and offers three-night stays, special weeks, and vacation packages.

Horseback riding and cattle work

Horseback riding is the ranch's main activity. The program includes rides through the property's meadows and mountain trails, as well as opportunities for cattle work and team penning. Children ages six and up can take part in equestrian activities accompanied by their parents or other children, with the support of wranglers who teach them riding techniques as they ride trails and move cattle. The terrain is described as gentle and safe, with plenty of room for children to play.

Fishing, private river, and other activities

In addition to fishing and horseback riding, the offering includes hiking, river tubing, trap shooting, camping, hayrides with live music, and other recreational activities. The setting is a valley at the foot of the Snowy Range mountains, with meadows, wildflowers, mountain trails, and clear-water lakes.
