We had a wonderful experience at this authentic dude ranch. The activities are plentiful and high quality, the grounds are beautiful, and our room was very comfortable. The food is excellent, too! We cannot say enough good things about the kids club in particular. We definitely hope to return. My sons are already asking for a repeat visit in 2027!!

Great location tucked up against a National Park. Beautifully maintained grounds. Guided hikes are available but trails are well marked allowing one to trek off on your own. Family & friends who participated in the riding experience enjoyed the trail rides for both novice and experienced riders. Riding instruction is available and valuable. Friendly, helpful staff who extend themselves for guests.

My daughter loves the Kids Club! The scenery is gorgeous. The food is delicious with lots of gluten free and dairy free options. The staff is friendly. Great horses. Highly recommend!

I have stayed here for about 10 years 8 to 10 days each year. The authentic atmosphere and the amazing staff are why I keep coming back. This is the place to come for a true western experince with so many things to do, especially if you ride.

Fantastic experience for the whole family. The kids LOVED the kids program. They didn’t want to leave at the end of the day. Mountain biking and horse riding were great. Overall TVE was super well run and it shined through in the guest experience!

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!
