A rich history
Elmer Seybold built the original lodge in 1946. This mid-century guest ranch was the first of its kind in Texas, designed by renowned architect, Charles Dilbeck. Elmer was a nationally known sharpshooter, horseman, master blacksmith and gunsmith. He and his wife Dorothee hosted many celebrities at the ranch including John Wayne, Bette Davis and President Ronald Reagan.
A new vision
Finally in October 2019, Texas real estate developer Jaye Ryder Arsement had the opportunity to purchase the historic ranch. She was familiar with the property since her family had used the ranch for their horse therapy ministry years earlier. Now she had the chance to make it her own. In just nine months Arsement carefully restored the ranch and opened Rest Yourself River Ranch in July 2020.
