This is a 5 star experience in a historic setting where there is plenty of places to fine quiet or mingle with other guests. Our food was included in the price of our lodging, and our special diets were no problem to the excellent chef. It is highly scenic everywhere you look. Sun/moon rises were amazing. The back of house staff are awesome, Every morning you wake up and everything is back in place and clean. The Pool was refreshing but we enjoyed the kayaking they setup at Saguaro lake. We also took a Horseback ride and saw the lake from the ridge. Great Views.
We really enjoyed this Chicken and roasted vegitables.

The view from the property was absolutely amazing. There are plenty of options of things to do on your stay. We stayed for only two nights but certainly could have stayed longer. The breakfast, box lunch & dinner was excellent. Everyone on the property was extremely friendly & treated you like family. We certainly will stay there again when in the area.

This is a really special place, primarily due to the staff (who likely include the owners). They were very welcoming and accommodating. The cabins are quaint and get the job done, in a somewhat rustic way. We enjoyed their communal dinner twice and it was fantastic, and breakfast was great, too. I would definitely stay there again!

This place is truly a hidden gem. The staff are super friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Great hiking and activities and beautiful scenery right from your cabin porch. You’re just a 15 minute drive from downtown Mesa but you’re completely in immersed in nature. The “golden hour” when the sunset reflects off the cliffs and mountains is worth the visit alone.

Restful, Relaxing, Peaceful

On a whim, we booked a cabin at this "ranch". We loved it so much, we never left the property our entire 3-night booking. The food was the best you can find, the staff were the most friendly and helpful we have ever had, and we were able to relax and truly enjoy our time here. We hated to leave! If you want a getaway that's relaxing yet fun, we highly recommend!
