Shared outdoor amenities. Like a book, don’t let the cover fool you. This space was so uniquely beautiful. It is a year round retreat with a private garden, great for morning coffee and space for your dog, or two. Parking is secure right in front of your rental. There are restaurants, fast food, and supermarket nearby. The hosts are friendly, gracious and truly care about making your stay a great one.

Well-Equipped and Spacious Rooms
Horse Thief Ranch is a lovely guest house, with plenty of room to spread out, a king-sized comfortable bed, shower & tub with good water pressure and a kitchen with all the necessities. We had a small glitch with the Keurig coffee maker, and Kendra was immediately at the front door with a new one. Kendra is a thoughtful manager. The property has a number of guest spaces, but parking was never an issue. We loved all the metal art on the grounds, and the imaginative flair used to decorate the rooms. We’ll be back.

We stayed at this property for a week in late January 2024. The guest house is a great place for 2 people. It is well equipped and furnished. The outside fenced area is spacious and beautiful--many sitting areas and two hot tubs. Great hikes are located within 30 minute drives. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Tucson getaway
The Horse Thief ranch guest house was the perfect place for us! Close to Sabino Canyon and the Mt. Lemmon highway. And situated in a lovely neighborhood with access to the Tanque Verde wash trail. We had our own little yard with a fountain and wonderful Mountain View’s. Perfect for cocktails, dinner or coffee. Lovely property with mature trees and very well maintained. The guest house had a full kitchen, wonderful jet shower, and a king size sleep number bed. We loved it!

Great Dog Friendly Casita w/ Mountain View
Cute, cozy, pet friendly casita. Nicely appointed decor with custom rain shower & jacuzzi tub, two way fireplace, two smart tvs, private pup friendly fenced yard with fountain and niced shared space including jacuzzi as well. Nice mountain view from living room. Not far from Catalina State Park (pup friendly hiking) and the casita is right by a wash trail for using up excess energy running, biking or walking! Also close to Sabino Canyon (no pups) and not too far from Pima Air Museum (also pup friendly). Will stay again if we go to the Tucson area!

Horse Thief Ranch
This is a fantastic property, perfectly located in the Tucson area providing great access to both sections of Saguaro National Park. We received great communication during our reservation process, met or talked with both owners during our stay, and check out was very easy. Why 4 stars? My wife and I are national park hikers. We screen our lodging choices by a king size bed & a hot tub. This property has both, but we were unable to use the hot tub either evening. The owners made every effort to fix their hot tub, even taking on a priority fee on getting a technician there on short notice. But the unit had simply gotten too cold, to warm up in time for us to use it. So, we essentially booked a property with a listed feature that was not available. We rely on VRBO reviews to make our reservation choices, so felt obligated to be honest with ours. I would reserve with these owners again, or even book this property again.

Lovely location right on a walking trail. Beautiful common areas.
Kendra is wonderful and so welcoming. The property is right on a nice, flat, gravel, trail you can walk on. It's a short bike ride to the Loop where you can ride for miles. The common areas were lovely for relaxing with a nice glass of wine at the end of the day. Sadly we never saw Myrtle the Turtle, but we'll just have to come back. Plenty of towels and a comfy bed, but bring TP and tissues. The kitchen wasn't super well stocked, but for 2 we did ok. Mainly we should have brought some spoons! There are only 4. Just know you'll have to do dishes often even if you're just 2 people. The laundry was really convenient so it's no problem not having it in the unit. All in all we were really delighted and plan to return.

What a value!
This property had the trifecta of success for a vrbo: an amazing quiet, private, beautifully landscaped locale/ a super attentive, caring owner and on site staff/ and very well appointed rooms and amenities like a hot tub, grills and laundry. What a value, especially considering the price! It’s almost so good that I’m reluctant to write this in fear of letting the word out but here it is: this place is a gem!!! And while we were here what an amazing group of other guests (outdoorsy, traveling folks rather than awful tourists) to chat with and share info with. They made our stay even better :)
