We want the experience at Dead Cat Ranch to be tranquil and secluded, so we only offer our activities to guests of our lodging.
Experience the wonderful stillness of ranch life
There are few better places to enjoy the wonders of the world around you than Dead Cat Ranch. Our 1,200 acres make for a secluded feeling, where you can slow down, stand still, and listen to the messages you need to hear. It’s an ideal destination for church retreats in East Texas.
