Circle Z Ranch

Aside from our diverse horseback riding adventures in a variety of terrains, there are many fun activities at the Circle Z. We offer a weekly nature program and astronomy night, plus our property is a world-renowned birding site. Every evening we have a social hour in our Cantina, with live entertainment on Saturday. There are campfire nights with s’mores and twice-weekly cook-out rides. Our new Game Room has billiards, foosball, ping pong, basketball, and board games. Our tennis court is newly resurfaced, and our outdoor pool is always open. Not to mention the nearby towns that offer shopping, wine tastings, cavern exploring, and historic tours. There is always something to do at Circle Z, no matter your interests!

We take the ranch dining experience to a new level at the Circle Z Ranch with our commitment to the highest standards for the food we serve our guests. Using only the freshest of ingredients, all of our mouthwatering buffets are created in our kitchens from scratch. In our gardens, we grow many of the vegetables served at mealtime, and our honey bees are always busy making the sweetest honey for our use. We select the finest cuts of meats and freshest fillets of fish we can find. Fresh baked breads, mouth-watering pastries, and a variety of cookies, all made from scratch, will greet you each day of your stay. Creative alternatives are available for those guests on strict gluten-free, vegetarian, lactose-free, or vegan diets. We kindly ask you to disclose any dietary needs when making your reservation so we can have the finest ingredients available for your stay.

The ranch’s maximum occupancy of 30 guests, and 45 guests on holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, is sure to make for a warm, friendly, and intimate stay. Seven historic Spanish-style adobe guest cottages dot the plateau on which the Circle Z lies. Accommodations vary from individual rooms to suites with living rooms or entirely private cottages, each reflecting Southwestern decor. All have individually controlled heat and outside entrances onto a porch. Our cottages have all the amenities: refrigerators, irons, hair dryers, and new mattresses.
