Terrific old Tucson style abode, lovely beam ceilings, tile, kitchen arrangements. Plenty of sleep space for all the family. Big yard and wonderful swim spa and hot tub.
Clean, well equipped and unique property. What more could you want? We'll, you also get a very friendly host AND a cool giant tortoise! We loved our golf weekend there!
Property was awesome with ample space in and outside the home. Kitchen and bathrooms were fully equipped and Kendra was especially hospitable welcoming us in and overseeing our needs. We highly recommend this place!
My family really enjoyed staying in this large and amazing home. The kitchen was well stocked with every cooking tool you could need, spices etc. The hot tub and massage chair were popular amenities. The master bed was adjustable (one side worked) which was great for me. Overall it was a great place for an indulgent get away.
We’re a group of eight men ranging in age from 72 to 90 and this is our fourth time staying here.
Like in the past, this was the perfect setting for our homebase as we enjoyed nearby, restaurants and sites in Tucson. We also love the indoor and outdoor generous meeting spaces as well as using the hot tub. We definitely recommend it and will be soon booking for our next year‘s visit.
We enjoyed a family Christmas get together at Horse Thief Ranch . There was plenty of room and seating for the 9 of us . The property was as pictured and we had everything we needed . The hit of the weekend was Myrtle the turtle !!! She is very sweet and entertaining !
Nine adults stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed mornings on the patio and an evening dip in the large spa. Large dining area was useful as we tend to cook and eat at home more than dine out. Unfortunately, unseasonably hot weather prevented us from doing even more outdoors. Perfect set up for outdoor gatherings
Horse Thief Ranch is such a special place. First, Kendra and Keith are lovely people. Then, the property is beautifully decorated with fascinating pieces of art, cool furnishings and comfortable beds. Our family of eight could spread out or longe together in the hot tub, which we did many times. The property is located close to all the activities that interested us, such as the Saguaro National Park, Colossal Cavern, downtown, etc etc. We loved Horse Thief Ranch and couldn’t recommend it more.
We had a pleasant weeklong stay at the ranch main house. The check in process was simple and the place was set up to be quite user friendly. The house does have a couple of quirks, like one of the guest bathrooms being inside the master suite (which has a different master bathroom), and the only access to that guest bathroom being through the master suite door. The guest bathrooms are dated in general. But overall the place has a good amount of room, the expected rustic ambience, and our group had an enjoyable stay.
Host was extremely helpful and responsive. House was perfect for a small family reunion. All beds were comfortable, kitchen was wonderful to work in with plenty of space to cook and keep food in large refrigerator. Table seating was ample of the 12 of us and there was a very large, comfortable sofa in front of the large screen TV. The grounds were well maintained and a gardener was on the property. We didn't use the two hot tubs or the outdoor kitchen, but both looked wonderful. I would highly recommend this property. It was a joy to be there.
Great location, near sabino canyon, Safeway, restaurants. Fun outside spaces with hot tubs and onsite tortoise. Lots of inside seating with big couches. The property manager was super responsive about a rescheduled arrival date and extra supplies. The shared common space outside was unusual but worked out fine. It turned out to be a non issue, but I wish we had understood that two of the four bathrooms were in the master suite. It worked because we were all family, but it would have better to understand the arrangement ahead of time.
The house is very spacious and met our needs. The grounds outside were very nice. Kendra is very accommodating. The kitchen is nice and had most everything we needed. Our biggest surprise was the second bathroom in the master bedroom. The shower door in that bathroom kept falling off, so essentially we had three bathrooms to use instead of four. When you say it is five bedrooms and four bathrooms, you should explain that two bathrooms are in one of the bedrooms.
Overall, this is a very nice house in a good location and has some neat outdoor areas. It is clean, comfortable and well maintained. The communication and check in process was excellent. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that it was not very clear in the description that there are additional casitas on the property that will share the yard, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, etc. We got home from a long bike ride and intended on using the hot tub only to find another couple in it where they remained for well over 2 hours. It needs to be clearer that this is a shared property. Part of what I look for is privacy, which is mentioned multiple times.

Like home away from home
We had a very nice stay at the ranch main house. We had a total of 8 people from two families. There were plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms so the teens could have their own rooms. The master suite was exceptional. There were many luxuries throughout the home, including massage chairs and hot tubs. The property manager was easy to contact and often present on the grounds to answer questions. The house was very clean. We loved the shared space in the yard with many places to sit and relax to soak up the winter sun. The close access to the walking trail was a bonus! The tortoise was a big hit with the kids! We enjoyed watching her eat after the property manager fed her. We are grateful to the owners for opening up their living space and allowing us to have a great place to stay during our visit with the grandparents.
We really enjoyed our stay here (main house on the property). The communication with the host(s) was great. Had plenty of messages sent before and during the stay so we knew what to expect. Check in had a minor hiccup since the key pad battery died. They came out quick and got us into the house without too long of a delay.House decor is pretty cool. Very interesting pieces in every room. LOTS of outdoor seating and separate areas to hang out.Overall the house was clean and stocked with what we needed. If you're going to cook or stay for awhile plan on picking up a few basics such as paper products and garbage bags.We took advantage of the location and went for some walks. Gorgeous desert landscape! Neighborhood was quiet. There are several casitas on the property. No major issues with noise or lack of privacy.Only a couple small complaints. The kitchen was amazing and we loved cooking in it - but it was super disorganized. The fault lies on previous guests who just toss things where ever and scratch the heck out of the pans. Cabinets and drawers need a major overhaul to get rid of damaged and old pans/utensils.We had a few things that didn't work such as the living room recliners, the master bed (one side) remote wouldn't work.Place is large and great for everyone to have their own space. Would stay here again.
This property was wonderful for us. It was spacious, clean, pet-friendly. The outside yard was perfect for mornings and evenings. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the turtle! In the morning we enjoyed all the birds. This place had comfortable, unique furniture with a lot of character. The stay was delightful and we'd love to come again.
Perfect place for our annual golf trip, conveniently located in north Tucson. We stayed in the main house but there are other rentals on the property so the common areas are shared.
