Really wonderful place. Beautiful setting, extremely friendly staff, great food. Wifi is adequate - coverage is good, but speed is a bit lackluster. The loping check seems a bit... subjective. We witnessed highly qualified riders get rejected while newbies got through. Those are the only two negative points I can offer. The staff, food, rooms, setting, hikes, and everything else are phenomenal. My company did a retreat here, and we would do it again without question.

Wow - what an incredible experience we had at the ranch. The rooms were clean, incredibly spacious and quiet. The views were amazing and we had so much fun trying different activities. We were at the ranch for our daughters wedding and everyone at the ranch were just incredible. Always happy - willing to help and very supportive. I honestly could not think of a better place for the wedding, which was a small intimate gathering on the cactus lawn and then reception in the beautifully set up Saguaro room. The setting was perfect - food was amazing and the service was TOP Tier!

From check-in to check out Every Staff member was a pleasure To be with. From the wranglers to the chef’s to the spa, my experience was unique. The desert is a calming and healing place and the ranch offers every opportunity to enjoy every part of it. It’s such a Wonderful way to experience the West as it was and to meet a family that has run the place for over half a century that cares about every individual that visits. Happy trails!

Tanque Verde is an absolutely beautiful ranch located beside the Saguaro National Forest in Tucson, Arizona. Whether riding horses, swimming, hiking, or gathering for a meal, you are sure to have an incredible experience. There are activities for every age and stage. The wranglers made each ride unique. From watching the sun set to greeting the day, riding to the cowboy breakfast, we enjoyed seeing the desert in all of its glory. The food was phenomenal, and the staff was helpful and kind. This was one of the best family vacations we have ever had. I highly recommend!

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!
