"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! "

"This property was everything and more—tucked away in the stunning outskirts of Tucson, surrounded by rolling hills and wide-open desert. It felt like my own private world. Mornings on the patio were magical, with breathtaking sunrises and a front-row seat to the desert’s daily show—bunnies, bobcats, birds, and all kinds of wild charm.It was blissfully quiet, the kind of quiet that soaks into your bones. Just a heads-up: the road in is a bit rustic, but totally manageable in good weather.Honestly, I’d choose this place a hundred times over anything in town. It deepened my love for the desert in ways I didn’t expect. Pure magic."

"Our stay at this east Tucson cottage was absolutely fantastic. The moment we arrived, we were struck by the unique furnishings that added a personal, artistic touch to the space. The home was thoughtfully decorated, blending comfort with charm in a way that made us feel right at home.The true highlight of the stay, and the reason we chose it, was the connection to nature. The cottage overlooks Saguaro National Park, offering a breathtaking view that we couldn’t get enough of. We spent several hours each morning sitting by the chiminea outside with our coffee enjoying the peaceful desert ambiance. The birdwatching was a treat. We had the privilege of watching a Gila Woodpecker and his mate, and a chatty native Arizona Cardinal, both of which added a sense of wonder to our stay. The desert wildlife really brought the natural surroundings to life.The house was impeccably clean and well-equipped, making our stay as comfortable as possible. Everything we needed was provided, from kitchen essentials to extra blankets. The hosts were incredibly friendly and attentive, offering helpful tips and ensuring that we had everything we needed for a relaxing visit.If you’re looking for a tranquil getaway with a unique atmosphere and stunning natural beauty, this cottage is an absolute gem. We left feeling refreshed and grateful for the opportunity to experience this special spot. Highly Recommended!"
