Had a really great experience at the ranch. The service across the board, from front desk to dining to all the activity guides, was so, so friendly. That really mattered since I was there alone, and I always felt welcomed. I took full advantage of the activities. Horseback sunset ride, jeep tour, two guided hikes, night critters crawl, birdwatching. It really made the whole experience. I went to bed tired every night, in the best way, and felt like I actually learned a lot about the desert. I have to say all of the guides, including the horseback riding team, were fantastic. But a special shout out to Danica for the crested Saguaro hike. She really went above and beyond to make it such a great experience. The room was great too. A little dark, but cool, and that is kind of the style. I loved sitting on my back patio just taking in the views. Overall, I was really happy with my stay! Even the guests were all a delight.

Amazing experience! Beautiful grounds, amazing staff, and so many activities to do. I have never been to a dude ranch before and this place did not disappoint.

The staff was incredibly professional and knowledgeable; they really made this stay top notch! There were plenty of opportunities to ride! The amenities were delight; even the towels were a 10/10! We had no trouble getting an Uber to and from the airport, but they do offer a shuttle. This place is a little pricey, but the personable staff and unexpected amenities really made the experience luxurious. We did not expect that a ranch would be so kid friendly, but many guests seem to be returning visitors spanning across three generations.

Tanque Verde Ranch was our first experience with a guest ranch. We arrived in Arizona not knowing what to expect. When we finally arrived we were both amazed by the place. Our room was upgraded to a fireplace suite and it was lovely and spacious with a back patio that opened onto the wide desert. The horseback rides out into the Sonoran desert were both beautiful and exciting. The food was fabulous. It was the best vacation we'd ever had!
