The online pictures are wonderful but do not portray the property in the wonderful light it deserves. The ranch is awesome and the hosts are terrific! It was perfect for our family who travelled from all over the country to Tucson our son’s wedding. Our entire family (3 generations) really enjoyed our stay and surely hope we can stay there again in the future.

Loved the Ranch!
Our extended family group of 18 had so much fun staying at the beautiful ranch to celebrate my husband's birthday. Chris and Kristen took great care of us and we loved everything about the place - the spacious and comfortable ranch house, the lovely casitas, the game room, and our favorite, the pool. We had a sing along around the campfire that we'll remember for years to come. Thanks so much, Kristen and Chris!

Golfing Tucson
A group of friends and I recently stayed at the Woodland Road 1882 Historic Ranch for an annual golf trip. It was absolutely perfect for our needs. All eight of us had our own private room with all the amenities as well as a number of common areas to meet in the morning and after our rounds in the evening. Each night Kristen had a bon fire prepared for us to light along with additional wood to keep the fun and banter going into the evening. I highly recommend this location for golfing around the Tucson area. It was comfortable, private, and nicely appointed. It was still a little cold in March to take full advantage of an awesome pool area. However, there is a gym and game room that kept everyone as busy as they wanted. Everyone agreed that this set a new bar for our group in terms of lodging for our golf trips. We are all looking forward to coming back next year and playing a few different courses. Kristen is a fantastic host. She is very responsive and any request or question we had was accommodated or answered quickly. Thank you!

Perfect place for our CEO retreat
I traveled to this beautiful property with several colleagues as part of a CEO mastermind group. It was the perfect spot for our time away from the day-to-day hustle of our businesses. Around every corner there seemed to be another pleasant surprise - a perfect meeting spot around a campfire, a stable full of friendly animals, even a nearby walking path that led to a beautiful lake. There was plenty of space for us to come together to learn and share, as well as ample space to spread out when we needed quieter time for reflection and planning. The hosts were easy to communicate with from the time we booked until we all checked out and they made us feel truly welcomed. If you’re traveling with a group, especially one that enjoys spending time outdoors, I can’t recommend this property highly enough.

Return visit
After our visit in September 2024, we knew this was the perfect place to return to celebrate the life of Boompa (grandpa.) Since our last visit 2 casitas and a game room (big hit with grandchildren) were added. Owners went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Having the whole property for our group made it so relaxing. The attention to detail and responsiveness of the owners was amazing. We enjoyed walking around the property, petting the mules and cows, working out in the gym, having comfortable casitas for everybody and there was a bonfire pit! We look forward to returning again.

Everything about our stay was wonderful, the property is absolutely beautiful! Our large family stayed for my dad’s 70th birthday and the accommodations were great. Everyone had their own rooms and then we gathered each day at the main house or pool. The pool area is soo beautiful, we spent most of our time there.

Peaceful
We were there for our daughter’s wedding at Tanque Verde,(which is only about 15 minutes away) Not only is this ranch beautiful, it’s serene, and so peaceful. The calm we needed while stressing out about a wedding. It was not warm enough to use the pool, but we were able to catch some sun sitting around the pool area. Everyone enjoyed looking at the horse barn and the cows.
Kristen and her husband went out of their way to make sure our family was more than accommodated while we were there. We can not thank them enough for making our Tucson experience the best!
