We offer a historically rich heritage of hosting guests of all ages, sharing the spirit of the wild Adirondacks for all who venture here. 1000 Acres Ranch was founded in 1942 by Jack and Ester Arehart. Located on the banks of the Hudson River, in the heart of the Adirondack Park, the ranch offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Adirondacks while having a true dude ranch experience. Over the decades, the ranch gained the reputation of being “The Cadillac of Ranches” and “The Pearl of The Adirondacks.” We pride ourselves on upholding that reputation to this day. Delight in the beauty of the Adirondacks and experience trails the way they did in the wild west - on horseback. For almost a century 1000 Acres Ranch has offered guests an Adirondack experience not found anywhere else. Get a taste of the rugged cowboy life – but with a few more of the modern amenities and activities.
