Burnt Well Guest Ranch is a small, family-owned and operated ranch in the warm, sunny climate of New Mexico, 16 miles from the nearest highway, 35 miles from the nearest town, with three generations living on the ranch. This is not a dude ranch but an actual working cattle and sheep ranch.
Kim and Patricia may be new to the guest ranch business, but are no strangers to entertaining people. They have a special passion for strengthening the family and want to provide a place where families from grandparents down to the smallest of children can get away from the high-tech, fast-paced life, so many have found themselves in.

Guest quote from American Round-Up - “Kim & Patricia are excellent hosts and had spent considerable time and effort into ensuring everyone was on the right horse for their ability. Their horses aren’t nags but are clever, sure-footed, forward-going thinkers. The food was excellent, both at the ranch and on the trail. I’d definitely recommend the Chissum Drive and can’t wait to visit Burnt Well again.” Posted June 2007 from guests visiting May 2007
