This place was magical! The best service and such sweet people throughout the resort! Room was clean AND beautiful!!! The activities were incredible and of course we got to do plenty of horseback riding! Oh, and all the food was delicious! We couldn't have asked for a better weekend away!

Our first experience at a VR Dude Ranch and it was amazing and memorable. My youngest wanted to learn how to ride horses so this is the only ranch that has the best kids program. The accommodations were beautiful and rooms were good. The food is great and cater fur vegan & gluten. I only wish they would have additional choices that suit other cultures.

We had an incredible stay at Tanque Verde Ranch. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and offered a beautiful view of the city, the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure. Every inch of the ranch feels truly authentic, from the charming decor and delicious food to the warm, welcoming staff and the stables full of beautiful horses. You really get the full ranch experience here. We spent a lot of time enjoying the pool, which was lovely and refreshing. Dinner was very good, with the Chile Relleno standing out as an absolute highlight. The breakfast buffet was also delicious and had something for everyone. The true highlight of our stay, though, was the morning kids club activity. Running from 7 am to 3 pm, it included horse riding, archery, clay making, water activities, and even breakfast and lunch. It was an incredible experience for our 9 year old - she absolutely loved it. The kids club leaders were all phenomenal, creating a fun, safe, and memorable environment. Any time we find ourselves in Tucson, we would return to Tanque Verde Ranch just for this amazing kids club experience. We can’t recommend it enough!

This place is very special. What an incredible stay. The food, cocktails, service and grounds were amazing. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff and activities were. The STAFF is what made this above and beyond expectations. The breakfast horse ride was my favorite. The Cowboy Cookout was a blast. The Nature Walk was so peaceful and educational. There are tons of well marked trails that I ventured out on. I had a nice massage in the Spa. The pool was very nice to cool off in after days in the heat. AND the horses...LOVED the horses. Tell Nubs the Cat hi when you go!

I cannot say enough good things about the few days we had at the ranch. There was something for everyone to enjoy and we got to try most of the activities. The views were breathtaking, every single person we met was so friendly, and the horses were wonderful. My kids are asking to make it an annual trip and want to stay longer next time. 10/10 recommend - so worth the trip.

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!
