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!

If you are looking for family oriented ranch this is for you. Everyone learns your name and stops to talk with you anywhere you are on the ranch. Beautiful views everyday. 12 rides 12 awesome horses. Every ride was different. Lessons were helpful. We look forward to coming back.

Looked at so many options and landed on Tanque Verde. The experience was wonderful. Some of the negative reviews addressed noise between rooms and that is the only negative experience we encountered, and it was addressed by staff. Every interaction with the staff was fantastic. The Wranglers were all very professional and willing to help if needed. We are not "foodies" but the food was very satisfying and enjoyable. The views are amazing, you are basically staring at the National Park from every angle, not other hotels or houses. If you leave this place bored, then you didn't take part in the incredible number of activities available to you. We were just a couple but the families there seemed to enjoy all of the activities available for children also. We are already looking at next year!

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!
