My grandparents came to this dude ranch annually in the 60's and early 70’s. Ive always been curious about the place and wanted to check it out. Our expectations were sky high and i was afraid this trip would be a letdown, but it was the opposite. It was the best family experience i could have imagined-- a dream come true. The ranch is so special and its history is so unique-- you can imagine exactly what it would have been like to visit back 200 years ago. It has that wild west vibe with cacti and dust and old historic structures, lodges, dining areas, and a cool, old bar-- all set in front of a dramatic backdrop of saguaro cacti and mountains. It's perfect! Our twins (age 5) attended the kids camp daily and LOVED it! They did every activity imaginable from horseback riding to tennis, fishing, swimming, and making crafts. While at the ranch, we did the breakfast ride, which was amazing and the breakfast was delicious. It was set up on picnic tables with red tablecloths at a dilapidated homestead surrounded by mountains and saguaro cacti! We did the cowboy cookout twice, which was fun and delicious! A band played and it was set out in an open field. i loved the hiking and horseback riding my husband enjoyed the mountain biking. At the end of the day, the pool is amazing and so is the bar! The food was great and varied with nightly menu changes. There is always a great kids menu. The staff and our overall experience was unforgettable! Long live tanque verde!

Very easy stay.

We were extremely happy with our stay. It's a ways out from Tucson proper but perfect for where we needed to be to visit family. The night sky view, the quiet, and the free Animal Planet outside our windows was worth the drive out. We were surprised by how much space there was and each room had plenty of linens/blankets, backup toiletries, and the kitchen was well equipped. And the AC held up REALLY well to the Tucson heat. The hosts were also very responsive when we needed to ask questions. I am so glad we went with this property and we've already recommended it to other family members with plans to return on future trips ourselves. While this wasn’t an issue for us, I do want to be transparent that the road into the property is a little rough and you have to cross two washes, so I don’t recommend small cars. It's also easy to miss the turn into the property at night so just a word of caution before you book. This property is also obviously out in the dessert and critters will naturally make appearances here and there.
