Saguaro Lake Ranch

The Ranch is absolutely beautiful and is the perfect place to have a quiet getaway with friends, family, or as a couple. The Bulldog Cliffs that overlook the Ranch give it an absolutely stunning backdrop and it is far enough away from downtown Phoenix that you really feel like you are secluded. If you are flying in from out of state, do rent a car as Ubers are hard to impossible to get in this area. The room was clean and comfortable, and we loved having the feel of our own personal cabin where we could relax. The breakfasts are AMAZING as well and was a great way to start the morning. There was lots to do on the Ranch - games, hiking, horseback riding, kayaking and swimming - and there is lots more to do within a 30 min drive. There is only WIFI in the main lodge but this was never an issue. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, giving this Ranch a true homey feel with good old fashion hospitality at its finest. Hope we can visit again soon!

My family of 4 stayed in cabin #8. Very pretty views with the mountain and walking down to the lake. When you walk in the cabin, you are in the primary room with a king bed and ensuite bathroom. There is a small back bedroom that had 2 twin beds. Kinda wish the setup was reverse for more privacy, but it was still nice to have some separation. We enjoyed the breakfast, served promptly at 8, especially the fresh squeezed orange juice. Would have liked a couple more options, but still better than what you'd find in a chain hotel. We especially enjoyed talking to the manager, John, who shared some local history and the Brisket and Burger BBQ with live music.

We loved the charm, comfort, and beauty of this property. The pool was heated, which we appreciated. The walking trails were poorly marked so we didn't get where we thought we would, though it was very scenic. Some minor improvements I would have liked include more hooks on the walls, particularly in the bathroom. A grab bar in the shower would also have been nice. A big plus would be in the food area. We didn't expect this and had to drive 15 miles to get something to eat for dinner. Even a cup-o-noodles would have been sufficient. Also, I think it's great that they offer vegan breakfasts, but not all of us are that stringent: I had to ask for butter and cream. The only negative thing we experienced was when they pumped the septic tank. It was near our cabin and it smelled quite nasty. Going outside was unpleasant, as was opening the door! Since it was fairly brief, it won't keep us from returning. Perhaps we'll be in Arizona next year! Thanks to the ladies at the front desk - you were all very friendly.

Absolutely beautiful! One of the cleanest places I have ever stayed and the room was very spacious. Breakfast was GREAT!!! The premises were absolutely gorgeous! The staff were all so polite. I will definitely recommend the ranch to my friends and family.

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!

We would highly recommend staying at the Saguaro Lake Ranch if you are looking for a peaceful, beautiful and welcoming place to stay in the Phoenix/Mesa area. From the moment we checked in Sierra, John, Ramon, Vanessa, Ashley and many others made us feel at home. The private Cabins located near Bulldog Cliffs were cozy and we liked that there is no TV and internet in the cabins. This amenities are up at the lodge. A great breakfast is included and I loved their orange juice machine. I enjoyed a couple of glasses of fresh squeezed juice every morning.

Wonderful southwest hospitality and charm. Amazing mountain and lake views. Extremely clean, historic ranch bed and breakfast. Great hiking, kayaking, horseback riding and more. Super delicious breakfasts. We will be back! Still hoping to see the wild horses before we leave...

We can’t wait to visit again! The property is AMAZING, horses were on sight super convenient. They had a number of options for rafting, kayaking, hiking, the kids swam in the pool and there were a bunch of pool toys there. Beautiful view, staff was incredible, we are planning to go back and do the guided hike. The cabins are small and the beds were not great but that is always a risk when traveling.

The property is beautiful. We stayed in room 10 and it was perfect. We swam every day and it was so relaxing and fun. We walked to the river and it was so pretty. Breakfast was very good too. Beds were comfortable and I wouldn't change a thing
