1. Concho Hills Guest Ranch
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 40 reviews
Nestled in the foothills of New Mexico's San Mateo Mountains, award winning Concho Hills Guest Ranch offers a true west ranch vacation. Our guests praise our horseback experiences, family atmosphere, ranching activities, historical tours and fantastic scenery! Our all–inclusive rate includes your accommodation, family-style meals, and "cowboy life" activities. Located in one of the Southwest United States' most picturesque and historic areas, there is lots to do both in and out of the saddle. Here you will “ride a horse” instead of “going for a ride on a horse.” You can visit where the Paleo-Indians and later Indians lived, the Spanish Conquistadors and settlers explored and named the nearby village Magdalena. This is where the wild west existed...where the Apache wars were fought and where western icons like Elfego Baca, Captain Jack Crawford, and the Apache Kid actually rode! If you want to lend a hand with our chores or just relax, we can accommodate your ranch vacation desires.

Well, I went back. The weather was perfect, and it was time for a break from ice and snow. And, after a year of being sequestered under the veil of the pandemic I was ready for some open space and fresh air. Once again, I learned so much about riding, south-west history, roping, and shooting. Concho Hills is more than a guest ranch, it is a genuine experience with genuine people, great food, great company, and excellent horses. It’s quite a pleasure to ride out toward the sunset as far as the eye can see. Bring out your inner cowboy, rediscover the old west, stretch out and breath again. I’m there for the horses, but I like to eat too. Enjoy a variety of exquisite meals, as good as or better than mom’s home cooking. Give yourself a treat and make the trip to Concho Hills, Tim and Marilyn will take good care of you. You won’t be disappointed. I cannot wait to go back…again.

My husband loves the movie Contact. So when we realized we’d be driving by the VLA on our way between national parks, we decided to stop. The experience was so worthwhile, and a great deal for the admission fee. The gift shop attendant was knowledgeable and friendly, and set us up to watch the orientation film, which even my 6 year old was captivated by. We then took the walking tour around the property, which was also engaging. Just for information’s sake — you must turn off all electronics while on the property, even cell phones. Digital cameras are preferred for taking photos.
