Not exactly a riding enthusiast, Dutton daughter Beth (Kelly Reilly) seems to spend her free time at the ranch house.

Beth: Brush Creek Ranch

The 5-star Brush Creek Ranch in Saratoga, Wyoming, is luxe enough for her tastes and also offers a variety of places to imbibe, including a 30,000-bottle wine cellar, an award-winning whiskey distillery, and a “Spirit Vault” as dark and moody as everyone’s favorite anti-cowgirl. From $1,500 per week

No one on Yellowstone works as hard as loyal ranch hand Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser). Of course, his ideal vacation would be wherever you’d find Beth.

Take a page from his book at Dryhead Ranch in Lovell, Wyoming, where guests can participate in drives—of both the cattle and horse variety—and ride the fences (translation: look for posts in need of repair). Come nightfall, everyone eats at the cookhouse and sleeps in the bunkhouse (or a cabin!). From $2,100 per week

Family patriarch John Dutton III (Kevin Costner) loves alone time and long rides in his helicopter.

John: Stehekin Valley Ranch

Located in a remote corner of the North Cascades in Stehekin, Washington, Stehekin Valley Ranch provides the exact kind of isolation John craves. (It’s also not accessible by road, making a private plane or boat ride an ideal way to arrive.) Amenities include kayak tours and community dining for every meal. From $130 per night

Oh, Jimmy (Jefferson White). He couldn’t stay away from his true love: the rodeo. He’ll be needing a vacation before heading back to the 6666 ranch.

Jimmy: The Ranch at Rock Creek

While the well-appointed Ranch at Rock Creek in Philipsburg, Montana, may be better suited for the deep pockets of the Duttons, its private rodeo makes it the perfect destination for those who wish to vacation like ranch hand Jimmy Hurdstram. Ahead of the weekly summer competition, guests can assist in prep work and even test their skills on the bucking barrel. From $2,000 per night (including meals)

When not attempting to take over family dynasties, Roarke Morris (Josh Holloway) enjoyed nothing more than an afternoon of fly-fishing (before his run-in with the snake, of course).

Roarke: Ruby Drake Lodge

Feel like following suit? Head to Ruby Drake Lodge in Twin Bridges, Montana. The 8,000-acre ranch is home to a trout river and also provides access to other nearby fishing spots. Former NFL quarterback Steve Bartkowski and son Pete are the owners and hosts. Cabins from $450 nightly.
