Old West Experience in AZ
For over 30 years…
The Blazin’ M Ranch has been rustlin’ up good times and hearty laughs since 1994, when Dan and Lori Mabery first opened the gates to share their love of cowboy culture and Arizona hospitality. What started as a small family dream has grown into one of the Verde Valley’s most beloved Western experiences. In 2021, Ryan and Leila Glass saddled up and took the reins, carryin’ on the Maberys’ legacy with pride while bringin’ their own brand of frontier spirit to every show and supper.
From the very first show, folks were entertained by Chuck Mabery, Dan’s father, who served as the original master of ceremonies, bringin’ humor and genuine cowboy charm to the stage. The heart of the ranch was always the music, and over the years, the Blazin’ M stage played host to a whole posse of talented band members, including longtime favorites Jim and Jeannie Martin, whose harmonies and musicianship created unforgettable memories for guests young and old. The sweet aroma of fresh-baked pies driftin’ from the kitchen was thanks to Lori’s mother, Grandma Lou, whose homemade desserts were legendary among ranch guests—just one more reason folks couldn’t wait to come back for another taste of the Old West.
Today, the tradition rides on with the new Blazin’ M Ramblers band, led by Eric “Wild Man” Williams at the helm, Rob Bernhagen holdin’ down the bass, Charlie Allen lendin’ her golden voice as singer, and Steve Mercer keepin’ everyone in rhythm on the drums. Together, they bring a fresh spark and classic Western sound to every show, invitin’ guests to tap their boots and sing along as the sun sets over Cottonwood.
If you’re lookin’ for authentic Old West fun just 20 minutes from Sedona, there ain’t no place quite like the Blazin’ M Ranch—where the West still lives, family traditions are celebrated, and every night’s a hoedown to remember.
