When it comes to planning your trip to Twin Oaks Guest Ranch and dressing properly, think layers and versatility. Middle Tennessee has a generally mild climate, but still enjoys four distinct seasons. 

​

Dude ranch vacations are known for their unique Western hospitality and welcome travelers the "cowboy way." As you open up your suitcase, don't be afraid to pack classic western attire. You'll fit right in at the ranch with your cowboy hat and button-up shirt...remember to break in cowboy boots before bringing them!

​

While horseback riding is one of the main outdoor activities, requiring closed-toe shoes and long pants, you'll also want to be prepared for other various activities: swimming, barbecues, lawn games, nice meals and more.
