For ranch owners
Rankin Ranch is on Brand Book
Brand Book is a free, independent guide that helps travelers find the right ranch vacation. Here's how listings work and how to get the most from yours.
How listings work
We build every listing from the ranch's own website: the season, ages, activities and how much cattle work guests really do. We write the summary in our own words and link straight to your site, so guests book with you.
- Listings are free. There's no pay-to-list, no booking fee and no ads.
- Each listing shows the date we last checked it against your website.
- Guests can filter by state, month, stay length and hands-on cattle work.
Why it's free
Fair question, and one we get asked. Nobody pays to be here and nothing on a listing is for sale: no pay-to-list, no commission on bookings, no ads, no affiliate links. We don't sell or share your contact details, there's no account to create and nothing to cancel.
Brand Book exists to answer one question: which of these ranches is which. The other directories are pay-to-list, so every ranch on them looks equally good and a traveler can't tell a working cattle outfit from a lodge with a string of horses. That only works here if nobody can buy their way in or up.
- Who gets listed, and how they're described, is an editorial decision made against the ranch's own website.
- Most ranches here have never spoken to us.
- If we ever do separate paid work for a ranch, it changes nothing about its listing. Not whether it's here, not where it sits, not a word of it.
Send us photos
Until we have photos from a ranch, its listing shows a labeled regional landscape. Real photos help guests picture the stay.
- 3 to 6 photos: riding, cattle work, cabins or the lodge, and the view.
- Landscape orientation, at least 1600 pixels wide.
- Photos you own or have the right to share, plus the credit line you want.
- A line in your email saying Brand Book may show them on your listing.
Update or remove your listing
If dates, prices, ages or programs change, or you'd rather not be listed, email us and we'll take care of it.
Add the Brand Book badge
If you'd like, link to your listing from your website with our badge. It shows guests you're part of an independent guide, and it helps Brand Book stay free.
