Tanque Verde Ranch

Tanque Verde offers an exceptional experience in a breath-taking setting. and is very easily reached from the Tucson airport via ranch transport. The staff is well-trained, efficient and accessible. Tanque Verde offers a wide variety of activities and the dining experience is very good.

We LOVE coming to TVR with our group each year! The wrangler staff are SO helpful, friendly, & accommodating, the horses are well trained and (for the most part) eager to do a good job for you! Our group is experienced horsewomen of all disciplines, and we always enjoy the riding, but beginners are equally well accommodated and safely. Rooms are so comfortable with beautiful views of the saguaro-studded desert, the food is delicious and nutritious (plus yummy treats), and if you’re tired of riding, the activities are fun, or you can just chill by/in the pool or hot tub. The staff is wonderful! I can’t wait to come back next year!!

79 of us returned this year for our 7th annual ladies' weekend. As we have come to expect, the stay was amazing. Food is great, the staff do everything they can to make our stay perfect. Most of us have already reserved again for next year!

We had such a great time at Tanque Verde Ranch. The views, the lodging, and the food were all amazing, and the horses are extremely well taken care of. The staff overall was wonderful and made the stay really comfortable. The only thing I want to be honest about is that I wish the wranglers had been a bit friendlier. Some of them had a little bit of an attitude, which took away from the experience just a tiny bit. Aside from that, everything else was fantastic. The pool area is beautiful, and there’s such a good variety of activities — yoga, rides, hikes, biking, you name it. One thing I wish they offered is some live music or a bonfire in the evenings, just something to make the nights feel a bit more special. I completely fell in love with one of the horses, Scotch — he was my little ranch crush. Overall, I would absolutely return and can highly recommend the ranch with just a couple of small suggestions for improvement.

Wonderful assortment of activities and rides. Beautiful grounds and hiking trails. The food is awesome. The staff is fabulous. Be warned...even if you're a seasoned rider, it doesn't automatically mean you will pass the lope test. I suggest taking it twice, and if you don't pass, let it go and enjoy your vacation. Also, you don't get the same horse for your whole visit.
