Tanque Verde Ranch

The grounds are great but the rooms desperately need a remodel. Windows don’t open or just. The AC doesn’t cool the rooms as their equipment is faulty. They offered me 4 fans as the ac could get the room cool. The main front desk lady is aggressive to the point of arrogance, the food quite so so. Won’t be back.

My husband and I honeymooned in Tuscon and chose the all inclusive package stay at the ranch. The grounds were beautiful and the rustic atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. There was a slight mix up with a private ride we had scheduled, but the ranch’s response exceeded our expectations and we ended up having the best trail ride of our visit. I’ve been riding my whole life and my husband has limited riding experience. Although we weren’t able to fit in the more intensive rides this trip, we both had a fantastic time on our walk rides. The horses were well taken care of, well trained, and fun to learn about. The highlights of our activities were the trail rides, cowboy cookout, pickleball clinic and spa service. The dog house saloon became a favorite spot to grab drinks and play pool after dinner. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it to anyone looking for a mixture of relaxation, adventure and authenticity.

This was my second year in a row going to TVR. I went with my granddaughter age 13. As she put it...this was a 9/10 vacation. We hope to go back next year. She loves all of the activities especially the riding lessons/rides, but also enjoys all of the associates and families that you meet.

The Tanque Verde Ranch provided memorable activities for all the members of our famiy, ages 9-69. We found the food to be very good, the rooms comfortable and clean. The grounds are beautiful to walk around and enjoy as the flora and fauna are very diverse. The children loved the "Wrangler" camp where they rode horses, make crafts and enjoyed the meeting other kids. The younger adults enjoyed the more challenging horseback riding experiences, the mountain biking, hikes and yoga. The seniors enjoyed the horseback walk/ride, photography walk, the bike ride as well as the night critter hike and birding. The food was surprisingly good and the staff very friendly, polite and eager to help when needed. We all enjoyed our stay and hope to go back.

I joined by son & daughter-in-law and their two children, and had never been to a dude ranch. The experience far exceeded my expectations. The accommodations, food, and activities were excellent, and I got to experience a lot of activities that I had either never done or had not done since childhood. There was something for everyone, and a great time was had by all.
