Tombstone Monument Guest Ranch

“Fabulous experience”

Where do I start! From the moment I got there, all of the staff were polite and helpful. My room was well equipped and spotless. The meals were cooked on site and delicious.

Where do I start! From the moment I got there, all of the staff were polite and helpful. My room was well equipped and spotless. The meals were cooked on site and delicious. I had so much fun learning to play various games of poker. The trail rides were fun and the scenery is lovely. The Wranglers take time to get to know you as a guest to be able to match you with a suitable horse. I enjoyed my time there so much, I’ve booked again for early next year.

This was an amazing experience for us. We were on a bucket-list vacation, so that my wife (who is a wrangler), could experience some elements of wrangling that are simply impossible back home. The view all around is breathtaking. There are various Western-themed activities available for every interest level. The meals were wonderful and quite filling. The rooms and setting are unique and just plain FUN. But the staff at Tombstone Monument Guest Ranch is truly the element that shines most brightly. EVERYONE was engaging and friendly, capable and informative. But this staff bent over backward to accommodate us at various points. They were amazingly invested in making sure we had the best experience possible. So, thank you Michelle, Patricia, Cliff, Kyler, Christina, Susanna, Frank, Jeannie, Tony, James, Johnny and Janet (and anyone I missed). If you only need a place to stay for the night, this is a wonderful place to go. But, if you are after a truly full experience; a place to help make dreams come true, it's the BEST place to go.

“Review for riding program primarily”

Reviewing mostly on the horseback riding since this is the main reason we go to guest ranches. The published sample schedule shows 2 or 3 slow rides and 1 fast ride a day (subject to change).

Reviewing mostly on the horseback riding since this is the main reason we go to guest ranches. The published sample schedule shows 2 or 3 slow rides and 1 fast ride a day (subject to change). My husband and I are advanced riders, looked forward to the daily fast rides. We went with another couple who were just learning to ride. For them, the riding program was fine. Two 1hour slow rides per day and one day they did a 2 hour slow ride. Often there were 10 or more riders on the nose to tail slow rides. Our friends had an excellent 1 hour lesson one day from Jason which helped with their skills and horse knowledge better than most lessons I’ve seen. For us, after doing a mandatory slow ride and passing the fast ride test, one of the daily fast rides was cancelled due to the 2 hour slow ride. The next day they also cancelled due to a cattle work opportunity in the arena. Since we were there for 4 days we were really disappointed to potentially only go on 2 fast rides. We spoke to the head wrangler Patricia and since no one signed up for the cattle work she did work with us and reinstated the fast ride. The 1hour fast rides were GREAT: Kyler and Adaie led nice long lopes on fun terrain. Would love to have done more of these (at least 1 per day) instead of so many slow rides. Thus the 4 vs 5 star rating. We made use of the jacuzzi (nice and hot) and pool (which at this time of year serves as a cold plunge!). Accommodations, food, staff all great! We took an extra day and went into Tombstone which was, while quite touristy, fun to learn about the history.

Tombstone Monument Ranch was a very pleasant surprise! We went with family for 2 days and really enjoyed our stay! The rooms are all themed like an old western town. We had the Blacksmith and Livery Stable rooms, both were comfortable and clean. There are only maybe 20 rooms in the entire ranch, so you really got a very personal touch. We got the package that included breakfast lunch and dinner. Breakfast was your typical buffet breakfast, pancakes, bacon, eggs, etc. Dinner was different every night and always had a starter, entree and dessert (the nacho sundae is to die for!). What really stood out to me is my son really wanted to do the archery and BB gun shooting and it wasn't on the schedule for the day we were there, but they made it happen for him anyway.. really nice customer service. Cliff taught a super fun game of Farro at night and gave all the kids cute cowboy nicknames. He was really great and knows so much about the history of Tombstone. Jeanie at the bar was amazing too! Overall, a really fun place for the family.
