Where do I start…from arriving to leaving, my vacation was everything I imagined and so much more. Staff and owners were just awesome, friendly, fun and professional. The whole set up was perfect. I’ve been riding western for many years and I can honestly say Claude was possibly the nicest, easiest and obliging horse I have ever ridden. The horses are loved and respected and extremely well cared for. The trails were superb with variety and scenery that I can’t imagine experiencing anywhere else. And if you can ride, boy were you able to get out and ride! Just loved Kelly, best wrangler EVER. There were 3 lady’s who were very inexperienced when they arrived and by day 5 they were confidently loping. This ranch is for everyone, regardless of experience! I think the all day ride was the best ride I have ever experienced in 48 years of riding! Mustn’t forget to mention the food and accommodation too, first class. There are people who have been going to Circle Z for many years and I can definitely see why. I certainly plan to make a return trip in the not to distant future!|A very big thank you to all the amazing people and horses who made our stay totally unforgettable ♥️

Circle Z is a great place to take a vacation. The rooms are wonderful and feel like home. The staff are all very welcoming. The food is so good. Above all, the riding is spectacular! Beautiful scenery, well trained horses and wranglers who take good care of you make the experience exceptional. We are booking our trip back for next year!

My 11 year old granddaughter and I have experienced the magic of Circle Z Ranch 2 years in a row and intend to return next year. The first year we made friends who now return with us for stays. The wranglers are exceptionally experienced and fun. You can ride well mannered and beautiful horses to your hearts content. The Mountains, valleys and creeks are breathtaking. The accommodations and the dining experience are exceptional. Add a bonfire and talented Wrangler singing cowboy songs and your experience is more than complete. You will shed a tear when you have to leave, but will carry with you fond memories to cherish.

We visited Circle Z for the first time this February. Accomodations were quite comfortable, the food was good, the trail rides were fun despite the weather being overcast and windy. We enjoyed the horses we were paired up with and got to lope as promised. All the other guests we met were very friendly and fun to spend time with. From talking to them, many of the guests have been coming here year after year, and feel like they are part of the ranch family. The staff was great, the managers Jennie and George were helpful and friendly, as was the owner, Diana. Miko, the head wrangler and all the other wranglers we rode with made sure we got the kind of rides we wanted in terms of length of time and speed. Will definitely come back for another vacation in the future, we only were there for 3 days and there were so many trails we didn't get to experience.

We visited Circle Z for the first time this February on the recommendation of gals we met at a WY guest ranch. Circle Z was easy to find. Our Casita was very comfortable. The property was lovely and full of wildlife. My horse was beautiful and cooperative. The 200+ miles of trails have something for everyone. The weather was quite 'iffy' so there were no all-day rides during our stay, but luckily we were able to get morning and afternoon rides in every day. The meals were decent. The only negative comment I have here is that we found the soups quite salty and over-seasoned. But that aside, there was always plenty to eat - even if you found an item not to your liking. The owners and Managers really worked hard to ensure every guest had a good time. We also thought that Wrangler Kelly was awesome. She gave us some great tips and even taught us about the ranch geography. We live in AZ, yet this was the fist time we encountered Rainbow Cactus. Circle Z is a great place for a gals trip, couples or families.

The managers and staff at Circle Z are the great. They paid attention to our wants and needs. I can't say enough good things about Jenny, George and Mikol. My friends and I travel around the country to different ranches to see the USA so we have a lot to compare. Circle Z is one of the best. The cabins are nicely furnished with great amenities like extra sinks and refrigerators. We went on Women's Week and had a blast! All of the women were fun and bonded over the ranch activities. There was no drama. I will be back someday.

This small guest ranch is top notch, located in a beautiful area of southeast Arizona, with marvelous trails for riding horses either out on a walking ride or loping rides. Whatever your riding ability, they make sure you have an enjoyable time. The horses are wonderful and they are so well cared for and treated like royalty! I stayed a week and enjoyed all the rides and activities they had to offer. I liked getting to do horse games: barrels, poles, and even separating our calves out of the corral! So fun! The lodging is very comfortable and the meals so delicious! A very special place to visit. Highly recommend!

Wow. WOW! My husband and I just got back from a week at Circle Z as a graduation/birthday trip for me and I can't remember the last time I had such a restorative vacation. If you go for the riding like we did it's not exactly relaxing (you'll be ready for bed at the end of the day!) but it was exactly what my soul needed. George, Jennie, and Miko are some of the kindest humans we've ever met. All of the staff went above and beyond to make us feel safe, comfortable, and free to explore as much or little as we wanted. We can't wait until we can bring our son to introduce him to the beauty that is ranch life at Circle Z.
