Driftwood Ranch

I want to Driftwood ranch with my sister and my female cousins for an all-girls overnight. We had a great time we did a trail ride the first day we got there had a delicious dinner and then hung out by the fire and did s'mores.

The next morning we had a delicious breakfast cooked by their amazing private Chef Craig, than did another trail ride.
We also got the amazing opportunity to feed the longhorns. Steve and Anne are the most gracious hosts and told us all about the history of the ranch as well as the stories about their amazing past in the horse world. Last but not least, the rooms are AMAZING!
I will definitely be going back !

We had the most wonderful overnight getaway at this beautiful ranch! Our group of six girls had such a memorable time with horseback riding, touring the property, feeding the longhorn cattle and relaxing by the fire pit. The owners, Steve and Anne, were absolutely amazing and on top of every detail to make the stay flawless. The rooms were decorated to perfection and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They all customized the overnight to what we asked for. We also got marshmallows, complimentary wine and a basket of goodies. You can tell this ranch is run with pride. We can't wait to come back! Thank you.

From the moment we arrived at Driftwood Ranch in White Lake, NY, we were welcomed with open arms by Anne and Steve, the gracious owners who treat every guest like family. Their warmth and hospitality set the tone for what would become one of our most memorable vacations. It truly felt like we were being invited into their home—not just to visit, but to belong.

Driftwood Ranch offers a rare blend of rustic charm, genuine hospitality, and immersive outdoor adventure. It’s not a polished tourist trap—it’s the real deal. The ranch’s authenticity shines through in every detail, from the amazing accommodations and peaceful landscape to the hands-on experiences that connect guests to nature and ranch life.

A standout highlight was the attentive and inspiring riding instruction provided by Anne. She worked closely with our daughters, patiently guiding them through every step of horsemanship with warmth and expertise. Her ability to build confidence while teaching proper technique was remarkable, and our girls left with not only new skills but a deep love for riding.

Meanwhile, our son had the time of his life on fishing adventures—casting lines into peaceful waters and celebrating every catch with pure joy. It was the perfect blend of fun and learning, and a great way for him to connect with the outdoors. And we all loved the trail rides.

We also enjoyed the hands-on exposure to caring for the steer and horses. Our kids learned how to feed (sometimes doughnuts), groom, and understand these incredible animals, gaining respect and appreciation for the work that goes into ranch life. It was educational, grounding, and deeply rewarding.

The staff at Driftwood Ranch are truly the heart of the experience. Mark and Mona Lee were phenomenal—knowledgeable, kind, and always ready to share a story or lend a hand. Their passion for the animals and the ranch shines through in everything they do.

And then there’s Chef Craig, whose delicious cooking and welcoming demeanor made every meal feel like a celebration. Sitting around the dinner table with other guests felt like a Sunday family dinner—full of laughter, great conversation, and incredible food. It was one of those rare experiences where strangers quickly became friends.

In every way, Driftwood Ranch exceeded our expectations. It’s a place where families can reconnect, kids can grow, and memories are made in the most meaningful ways. We can’t wait to return

We had the most incredible experience at Driftwood Ranch! We came for a Western-themed brand photoshoot, and the property was absolutely stunning. Wide open views, horses and cows, rustic charm, and the perfect backdrop. The owners could not have been more accommodating, helpful, and genuinely kind (they made everything so easy for us!).

It was truly a serene escape, and we’d love to come back not only to shoot more content but even just to relax and stay for fun. I can’t recommend Driftwood Ranch enough to anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming, and peaceful getaway.

I had THE BEST experience at the Driftwood Ranch. My only regret is not staying longer. The owners and everyone on the ranch are so kind and really make you feel welcome / at home / like family. It was the perfect escape and I've already been looking into when I can go back. Everyone works to make it feel like a real luxury ranch experience. The rooms and design are incredible, the instructors are amazing with horses, all of the horse tack and equipment is the real deal. They design all the wood work onsite, they have a leather shop and they designed the whole property. They're so talented at what they do - I'm so glad I was lucky enough to experience their vision come to life! I cannot recommend them enough!
