Concho Hills Guest Ranch, Magdalena

What an amazing adventure and vacation! Concho Hill Ranch is everything we imagined and more. I can not say enough about the wonderful food, accommodations, hosts, horses, rides, and now friends that we made while at the ranch. The training, information about the area, and history were valuable and made the vacation so much fuller. Tim, Marilyn, Leah, and Travis were welcoming and made every part of our trip perfect. The food was always delicious and served homestyle so that stories could be told and friendships could be made. The rides were beautiful and adventurous on top of well trained and cared for horses. Each ride was different and showed off the beauty that NM has to offer. The guest rooms were comfortable and felt like home. The main house, beautifully decorated, was warm and inviting and always available for a fireside chat, a great book to read, or a delicious meal. We are already planning our return trip and can not say enough about Concho Hill. The memories will last a lifetime.

My husband and I stayed in several guest ranches. Our experience at Concho Hills was amazing and the best one! Here, if you like to ride and the feeling of freedom, you will love that place and its owners. No nose to tail rides. Tim will listen to your wishes and build the perfect day or half day ride for you. It can be riding in open spaces, hills, forest; checking on the cattle as they are surrounded by cattle ranches or even riding in the arena where Tim will show you how his horses are trained. We got some very nice horses, very responding to orders, quiet and also fast when you want them to be. The tack is very good quality too and Tim spent some time with us to find the saddles adapted to our bodies. The main house separated from the guest quarters, is the owners home. Meals are taken at the same table with Marilyn and Tim and it is like you were invited by some friends. Marilyn prepares a very good food and takes care of everything in the kitchen and the whole house with a sense of details. One night, Marilyn and I joined our forces and were able to cook a French dinner, we really enjoyed this complicity! After dinners, we used to spend some time by the fireplace where we could try to get some of our hosts knowledge about the area's history and the ranchers life. We highly recommend Concho Hills guest ranch and for sure, one day, we will come again!
