Concho Hills Guest Ranch, Magdalena

We had the opportunity to spend four days this spring with Tim and Marilyn at Concho Hills Ranch. It was our first trip to New Mexico and the views of the mountains and plains from the ranch was breathtaking. We spent the days learning all aspects of riding and taking the care of the animals while dining on home cooked gourmet meals. The ranch is small and family run in the middle of millions of acres allowing you to tailor the trip and experience to your liking. The ranch house and bunk house accommodations are first rate and provided a genuine western experience of a lifetime!

Wow! Spending time on a “dude” raunch has been a bucket list vacation for me for a long time. I could not have been happier with our stay at Concho Hills. Both TIm and Marilyn brought us into their home and into their lives, spending quality time with us and making us feel welcome. Tim is an excellent instructor, who was the perfect balance of patient and insistent. Marilyn was the consummate host, and was keenly interested in making sure all our hospitality needs were not only met but exceeded. (And she is a pretty darn good cook!) All in all a lifetime experience and I will 100% be back. Thanks Tim and Marilyn for making our stay so special!
