Tanque Verde Ranch

Rustic old dude ranch set in the Sonoran desert. Beautiful views, friendly, helpful staff. Lots of activities

Fantastic place for a relaxing stay with plenty of things to do for those who are so inclined.

It took us 24 hours to get from NY to Tucson due to travel issues. I'm not sure I'll ever try to get there again. As a result I was exhausted and unwell once I got there and lost $550 night stay. The activities seem plentiful but all the good ones are in the wee hours and I am not a morning person.

Staff was very helpful and pleasant

Wonderful variety of activities for all ages.

The Tanque Verde Ranch is very nice and our stay was comfortable. There are a lot of activities for both young and old, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, spa treatments, a pool and more. There is a restaurant on site and plenty of beautiful views to enjoy. I would say if you’re looking for something different and enjoy horses this is the place for you. Enjoyed our stay.

Beware the fry bread from their restaurant.

Wonderful staff and amazing setting. Will definitely stay again and return with a group.

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!

Saddle up tor rustic elegance at this quintessential Sonoran desert retreat, perfect for all ages, hate leaving this gem!

Great family resort….

For the price this is way over rated. The pictures are misguiding the pool is really 15 feet long. Rooms and Furniture are old. Had to cancel our second day but they were nice enough to reimburse us.

Expensive! Cowboy BBQ, $50 a plate, REALLY?

Beautiful location excellent rooms and incredible staff!

Everything here is just so beautiful!

Everything is just so Beautiful here!

This stay is more than a stay, its an adventure that is catered by some of the friendliest staff I've ever met. You will also meet friendly guests at every turn. I very much enjoyed the horse back ride, outdoor eating, cool little bar, and all the fireplaces on the property and always on. I can't wait to go back.

The staff were amazing and all helpful. We got in super late from our flight, and the front desk was so accommodating and made the change in check in easy.

Well the surrounding property is beautiful. This is a very old establishment and over time it shows. Our room was so small and one chair to sit in. There was a real wood fireplace. So the room wreaked of a campfire. Not my deal. Our bathroom was tiny tiny. No hooks l, no where to put our toiletries and the shower sucked. For the crazy high price of staying here it certainly is not worth it. And the food was very average. We had steak that was full of grizzle and very expensive. We would never recommend Tanque Verde Ranch.

Brings settlers history back in elegant today's style. At the edge of national park, accommodation hacienda type with tons of relaxing corners. Horseback riding feast.
