Tanque Verde Guest Ranch

It's a good dude ranch. The staff is super friendly. Horseback riding is amazing.

I called to make reservations told employee i had a certificate i was transferred 3 x before someone could help then i was given a room way below the value of my certificate and had to call back and request a different room note not one apology was given Dinner was ok food cold and lots of fly's... breakfast took 1hour and 15 minutes to get no apology again just kept getting ignored no refills when we got food if was ok.

Our stay at Tanque Verde Ranch exceeded every expectation. The grounds are absolutely stunning—pictures truly don’t do them justice. Even in July, the pool was refreshingly perfect, which we were initially concerned about, but it quickly became one of our favorite spots to cool off. Our room comfortably housed five women, with plenty of space and storage for all of us. It was clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully designed for groups. What really made our stay unforgettable, though, was the incredible staff. Every team member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. Special shoutouts to: • Sam at the front desk, who was a rockstar in helping us navigate and book all our activities. She’s extremely knowledgeable and made planning effortless. • Bill with the wrangling program, who was kind, patient, and supportive—perfect for our little group of first-time riders. • Nick from activities, who brought a fun, relaxed vibe to axe throwing and archery and made it such a blast. The dining options were equally impressive. We enjoyed both the sit-down meals and the buffet, and every single dish was delicious. The cocktails were a standout—crafted with fresh ingredients like prickly pear and strawberry purées (no pre-mixes here!), a spiced apple Old Fashioned we’re still talking about, and a great wine selection to top it off. The Cowboy Cookouts were festive and fun, and the sunrise breakfast horse ride was a magical experience—absolutely a must-do. All in all, Tanque Verde Ranch is a hidden gem in Tucson, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. From the setting to the service, it’s a place we’re already looking forward to returning to.

We stayed in one of the original cowboy rooms. Great history as far as 1600’s We went horseback riding they taught us at the stables, had a wonderful outdoor breakfast cowboy style ha Continued our ride back. They have an excellent barbecue on Friday evenings with all the fixins 😋 It was well made, live band was excellent along with the food!! Overall a definite MUST for anyone travelling there or through 🙂👌🙌🏼

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!
