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.

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!

My first visit to the ranch was fantastic. I was there for a workshop and found the grounds enjoyable and the food excellent. The staff was exceptional.

Positive experience in all aspects, from airport shuttle to check-out. Excellent quality and selection of activities. Particularly friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food in an atmosphere that was structured for the benefit of families with children. Rae for me to give an unqualified five-star rating. This was fantastic.

Fantastic experience. Amazing food, beautiful lodging and all-star activities, especially the horseback riding. A great experience for extended families, or even just couples. Found the other guests to be very engaging and interesting as well.

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!
