They have everything you can think of from A/V Equipment is heavy, Hi-Speed Internet,, power point/hdmi connectors, TVs, projector screens, a PA system, furniture and more. There isn't a detail that gets missed. And most importantly, working with Erin (Marketing/Events Manager) is a true joy! She treats your event just as her own. She's incredibly knowledgeable, organized, enthusiastic and one thousand percent committed to making your event perfect! If you're searching for a venue for anything from a wedding reception to corporate event, workshop, etc. Railyard fits the bill! I worked with Erin on a special event and the entire process was fun and stress free. In addition to be a venue, Rail Yard also offers smaller meeting spaces that fit individual needs to small groups. You can rent for the day or lease a workspace from them. Everything is top quality and really beautiful. They also a have a kitchen with coffee and snacks! If I was going to rent an office space, I'd absolutely have one here! It's a beautiful setting with lovely people!

We loved every moment we got to spend at this beautiful property and are so thankful that Laurel and Stewart share this piece of heaven with everyone.

Despite the fact that the ranch is genuinely and wonderfully historic, it is very clean and well cared for and we lacked nothing. The guest rooms and common areas are comfortable and charming. Each room is unique and had all the creature comforts we could need. The grounds offer areas of individual respite or group gatherings. I spent quiet moments listening to the contented horses eating breakfast while watching the antics of a pair of cardinals (in addition to the many other beautiful birds all over the grounds). Did not use the pool or hammock but they looked inviting. The food! Sooo good! It's not easy to feed a large varied group such as ours but they did so with flying colors. Always delicious and plentiful and accommodating. We felt spoiled and loved it. The staff is down to earth and genuine and treated us all like royalty. The team of Ross and Lynee enhanced our experience at Kenyon even more. Ross matched each rider to the right horse and offered safe enjoyable riding through the beautiful desert and shared cowboy poetry in the evening. Lynee ensured every single guest had the most delightful experience. True professionals. The ranch is remote enough to feel and enjoy tranquility but very nearby there are opportunities to enjoy art, State and National parks/museums, dining and shopping. There is plenty to do if one chooses. The Kenyon Ranch is good for the soul and we will be back.

While pricey for what you get, the food (sandwiches, scones, pastries) was tasty and so was the tea.

Still, the service was good, the place was packed, and it was great getting caught up with an old friend. The fresh fruit was a nice touch! I hope to return to try the Filipino tea experience.

This one was disappointing, was a couple eggs, microwave bacon, and 2 tomato slices. There was coffee, a couple of juice choices and toast you had to make yourself. Also had instant oatmeal and a cereal out on table as a choice. Just seemed more like a chain hotel breakfast. Would definitely recommend for the stay though.

Steam pump ranch…read more While attending a farmer's market I took advantage of the opportunity to see a really wonderful piece of Old Tucson that actually had family members from the early settlers of the ranch present to give information about the area. (We are lucky enough to have Barbara McIntyre a descendant of the early l settlers George and Mathilda Pusch. Her grandmother was one of their children. It was just very interesting to have that living history part of the museum by having the actual descendants share their perspective of early Tucson. George Pusch built the pump house in about 1875, he was very much in astute businessman and he took advantage of the local surface water to put in a steam pump and a Holding area for watering livestock. During the time cattle drives would be coming down from Tucson to the desert to get in the rail lines and of course the cattle would be very lean because they've been in the desert for a long time. He charged about 15 cents ahead for cattle to be watered which would increase their weight before they got shipped and would increase the amount of money that the cattle drovers would get for their cattle at market. Eventually they bought more land surrounding this area and at one time actually had over 15,000 cattle in the range that they were working with. They're also encounters with indigenous Apaches and the area also was famous all the way back from when Spanish settled the area for the lure of gold and there is of course a legend of a secret gold mine. He had several other business ventures including a butcher shop of course which connected into the cattle in a ice storage facility in Tucson. Mr Pusch was also a member of the Arizona territorial legislature. When he died much of the cattle operations were shutting down. In 1933 a new era in the ranch was brought on by the second significant historical family that the steam pump ranch. The Proctor family. During the prohibition area the ranch hosted several copper Homebrew mescal and sold it to locals. When Mr Jack Proctor took over the ranch many things were abandoned. At the same time he was the manager owner operator of the luxury Pioneer hotel and the owner director of Valley national bank. His hobbies were raising prize bowls and at the ranch he created a bunch of chicken farms to provide chicken and eggs to the guests of the pioneer hotel. His family also supported the original Tucson rodeo or the festival de vaqueros This area also hosted the first guest ranch in Arizona. We're also lucky to have the granddaughter of one of the proctors who lived on the ranch and was a barrel racer being one of the docents at the museum. It's her saddle that's displayed at the museum. I hope that people are motivated to learn more and go out and listen to people especially since you have the Arizona statehood celebration coming up.
