Enrique, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Malcolm, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The views are spectacular. I wish I could’ve enjoyed the activities. The only downside is the drive back into the city, about a 20-40 minute drive depending on where you’re going. Staff was wonderful, and breakfast was great!

Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place feels like you’re at summer camp again! The managers & other workers are so sweet & friendly. The setting is stunning. We did the two-hour kayaking excursion. When we came back, the lodge had boxed lunches that we had pre-ordered. Then dinner has way more special than you would imagine—apparently the main chef recently graduated from culinary school. The Wi-Fi signal is weak except in the main building, but that’s just all the better—this place lets you relax, reconnect with nature, & do a digital detox.

Amazing hiking and property
Emily, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

My husband and I loved our stay at the ranch! The employees were wonderful! The scenery was sublime, and the ranch offered all the help and activity you could want. The kayak guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. 100% reccommend a trip down the Salt River! Wild horses and plentiful fish were just some of the beautiful wildlife we got to see on our trip. Its was so nice to be close to so many excellent hiking trails and awesome Saguaro Lake. Breakfast was great everyday, the pancakes were a favorite. All in all, definitely recommend for a couples getaway, family vacation or weeked staycation! We will definitely be back!
Lauren, 3-night trip

Unique setting with access to Tonto National Forest hiking, kayaking, ATV riding and on-site horseback riding. Big pool, ping pong, campfires, and lawn games. Family friendly. Food was chef prepared and outstanding. We will be back!

Beautiful location. Views can't be beat.
Scott, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

The property was so unique and rustic. We loved it! Although the rooms were older and needed a little bit of updating, we still thorough enjoyed ourselves.

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!
Robert, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Maria Agnes, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

There are no words to describe the beauty of this resort or the kindness of the staff. By far the best experience I have ever had traveling…the scenery was breathtaking, SO many activities to keep us all occupied, VERY peaceful, food was 5 star and the staff went above and beyond on everything. Loved our accommodations - clean and spacious. We cannot wait to go back and will recommend it to everyone we know! Thank you for such an amazing experience!
