Horseback Riding & Activities

Tanque Verde Guest Ranch houses over 100 horses and offers trail rides ranging from one-hour walks to four-hour Saguaro Adventure rides through the national park. Guests can take horsemanship lessons to learn Western basics, and experienced riders may attempt the lope test to join loping rides. Additional on-site activities include archery, BB gun shooting, fishing in a stocked pond, and mountain biking on the property.

Accommodations

The ranch offers casitas and suites in areas like Rincon Vista, Desert Garden, and Roadrunner Ridge, with wood-burning fireplaces in many rooms and patios overlooking the desert. Rooms are spacious, with separate sitting areas, queen murphy beds, and clawfoot bathtubs in select suites. All accommodations have no televisions, encouraging guests to focus on the outdoor experience.

Dining

The main dining room, Carrillo Restaurant, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a rotating menu that includes southwestern dishes like chile relleno and short rib cavatappi. The Cowboy Cookout is a featured evening event held outdoors with live music, a buffet, and s'mores. Guests can also book the Breakfast Ride, which ends with a chuckwagon-style breakfast at a historic homestead.

Family & Kids

The Buckaroos Kids Club (ages 4-6) and the older kids program (ages 7-9) operate daily from 7 am to 3 pm with activities like horseback riding, archery, crafts, and water games. The kids program includes breakfast and lunch, and lead-line rides are available for younger children. A children's playground, fishing pond, and family-friendly pool with a waterfall complement the program.

Wellness & Facilities

The spa and wellness centre offers massages, facials, and spa treatments, with a hot tub and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools available to guests. Daily yoga and pilates classes are held in a dedicated studio, and the fitness centre provides exercise equipment. The property also includes a business centre, a games room with billiards and table tennis, and a 24-hour front desk.
