About Us

In 2023, Peter Askew (founder of DudeRanch.com) acquired DRV & fully rebuilt the site into what you see today, crafted as a compliment to the DudeRanch.com website portfolio.

We feel blessed to be associated with this industry. We’re regular attendees to the yearly Dude Ranchers’ Association conference, are active donors to the Dude Ranch Foundation, and can oftentimes be found visiting ranch destinations every Summer.

Dude ranch vacations are a shining gem in the adventure travel category – some founded well over 130 years ago! While our world becomes excessively digital and online, dude ranches offer a respite where families can unplug, relax, and reset.

We hope our website home serves as a simple guide as you research your ranch vacation plans. Many thanks for dropping us a visit.
