The Private Ranch Gathering — Guided Experience is designed for groups who want to gather, celebrate, and connect — while also experiencing real ranch life.
This experience blends a relaxed social atmosphere with guided, hands-on interaction. Guests are not simply renting a space; they are stepping into an authentic ranch environment where they can visit, enjoy time together, and participate in meaningful, memorable moments.
This gathering is ideal for birthdays, adult get-togethers, small celebrations, and groups who want something more engaging than a traditional venue.
This is a 2–3 hour Private Ranch Gathering — Guided Experience, which includes:
• Guided interaction with miniature Highland and Highland-cross cattle
• Opportunities to feed, groom, and engage with the animals in a structured and safe environment
• Ranch education and storytelling throughout the experience
• Private use of designated barn and outdoor ranch areas during your scheduled time
• Access to tables, chairs, and seating areas within the barn and designated gathering spaces for visiting, food, and conversation
• Ranch staff present throughout the experience to guide activities, oversee animal care, and ensure a safe environment for both guests and livestock
The $695 gathering fee reflects a guided ranch experience, use of designated areas, tables and chairs, and staff-led interaction.
No portion of the gathering fee represents the sale of furniture, equipment, décor, or other tangible personal property.
Optional add-ons — décor enhancements and Chasing Dreams Ranch merchandise — may be selected during booking or available for purchase on-site while supplies last.

The Private Ranch Gathering — Guided Experience is intentionally smaller, more interactive, and more experience-focused.
Unlike larger open-format gatherings, this experience includes guided participation, hands-on interaction, and direct engagement with the ranch and animals, while still allowing time to visit and gather.
It is best suited for smaller groups who want to celebrate, connect, and experience the ranch — not just use the space.
