From the reviews

What a unique and wonderful experience! First and foremost, Kim and Patricia Chesser are exquisite hosts. Folks, this is a working ranch and yet they open their home and hearth to visitors from around the world.

My wife and I, along with our three sons aged 9-15, spent five days on the Burnt Well Guest Ranch in early April 2018. Kim and Patricia Chesser had asked before we arrived what kind of experience we would like to have, which they do for all their guests.

Amazing stay at Burnt Well. If you’re looking for an authentic, working cattle ranch to get a glimpse into the life of cattle ranching in the desert, this is the place to go. Went on the pregnancy testing week with three friends.

Getting married at Burnt Well Guest Ranch

Burnt Well Guest Ranch comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
