Been here twice. Expect to return many more times. Horses, tennis, great food, attentive knowledgeable friendly staff. If you love horseback riding then come here. read more

What an incredible experience! Spectacular scenery, beautiful energy and great hospitality from both the humans and the horses. I can't wait to go back- especially to see the handful of extra special horses who captured my heart. read more

My grand daughter is 21 and an accomplished show rider. She came out for a visit and I took her to have a ride. She LOVED it! Matter of fact the leader and she bonded and they still e-mail and text each other. I highly recommend Bob and his horses. read more

Beautiful, well maintained and comfortable authentic ranch setting. Wranglers were excellent and horses well cared for and good natured. There are lots of activities for riding, from lessons, to beginners to fast rides and team penning. Very fun! Make sure you get a picture from the photographer if you go on a ride. She is top notch. We did not have time for other activities, but there is a lot to choose from. Food and dining are not gourmet, but that's not what you go to a ranch for. We were certainly well-fed with no complaints! We will be back. read more

Outstanding vacation. Friendly, clean and so fun. We love all the activities, food, rooms, and the horses of course. The wranglers are the best! read more

My boyfriend and I spent 5 nights at the White Stallion Ranch last week. The staff was pleasant and helpful (dining room, front desk, wranglers, gift shop staff, cleaning staff, etc)The grounds were well maintained and beautiful. The nightly activities were very enjoyable-Loop Rawlings, a magician, a critter show, and a country singer. The horses were great and well cared for. They offer many different rides each day- slow flat, fast flat, slow mountain, fast mountain, 1/2 day, full day. We had the same horses the entire time which was nice. You can ride 1-2 times per day or not at all. They also had other activities during the day that we weren't able to do because we were riding. The scenery was beautiful. We did the Movie tour with Marty which was really interesting and fun. He's a wealth of knowledge. The pool and hot tub were very relaxing- very few people there. Our room was clean and comfortable and was right next to one of the pastures, so we got to visit with the horses all day. There is no TV in rooms so it was peaceful. The gift shop had a lot of really nice things and not too expensive. There is a petting zoo on the property. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the food , although abundant, was mediocre. The breakfast is buffet plus you can also place order for eggs/pancakes. Breakfast wasn't bad. Lunch is also buffet with many options of hot and cold foods-tacos and brisket sandwich were the best lunch meals. There was always lunch meat, salad and fruit available at lunch. Dinner just wasn't very good, not much seasoning and the steak was tough, chicken had no meat on it, pork was ok. There were also options at dinner. The vegetables were usually cooked well. Desserts were not anything special. We really loved everything else about the ranch. Would definitely recommend it! read more

The White Stallion ranch has become a favorite destination for my son and I. We recently returned from our 2nd visit and loved every minute of it. The ranch itself is located on a few thousand acres of desert land and neighbors saguaro national park, which provides a vast amount of gorgeous, open space for riding. The ranch is home to around 130 horses, many cows, calves, peacocks and goats etc. that make for an interesting visit. My son gained a lot of confidence in his riding ability while taking lessons on a very patient and reliable old horse, named Cherokee. Horses to suit all different skill levels are available. The helpful, friendly wranglers take your safety seriously, which is much appreciated. I never felt stressed over my son's safety and always felt he was in good hands. The trails are fantastic with a lot of variety. Our 2 most favorite rides were the sunset ride and breakfast ride. For the breakfast ride, we headed out at 7 am and had eggs with sausage and blueberry pancakes out in the desert...awesome. :- ) Ranch accommodations are spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the fireplace in our southwestern style room in the evenings, and the ac kept us nice and cool during the day. There is plenty of tasty food which includes a dessert after dinner each night. The fare is basic American style with some Mexican flavors thrown in. Meals included grilled steak and potatoes, bbq ribs and baked salmon for dinner -- sandwiches, quesadillas, burgers and salads for lunch, and eggs (any way), pancakes, cereal or french toast for breakfast. There is a self serve full bar and great selection of wines available whenever you want. I indulged in quite a few yummy margaritas. :-) We also enjoyed great evening entertainment. One night we gathered around an outdoor fire and enjoyed listening to a local western guitarist/singer. Another evening we enjoyed a live "desert critter show" where we were introduced..very up close..to several indigenous snakes, scorpions, tarantulas, a horny toad, a gecko, some other eccentric lizards, and, my favorite, a sweet, silky soft chinchilla. We were allowed to touch and hold these 'critters' though I passed on most! There was also a fantastic magic show. The magician was quite a comedian as well and had the us all in stitches from laughter. Horseback riding is the highlight here though there other other activities offered such as tennis, swimming, billiards, ping pong, shuffle board and a small movie theater. We also made a trip to old town Tucson where we watched an enacted gun fight, panned for gold and enjoyed both 'can - can' and comedy shows. If you go, be sure and visit the Desert Museum too, which is fantastic. This is a great family destination though there were plenty of childless couples visiting too. We met other guests from England, Australia and Italy. My son and I had a wonderful time and look forward to another visit. I highly recommend White Stallion ranch. read more

The real cowboy experience! My wife and Ihad the best time. I am a better rider than when I arrived and my wife with lessons had a great experience. The guests that we talked with ( from 8th to 28th visits) are all great ambassadors for the ranch. A wide variety of rides and activities were available to all so each day was a new adventure. The wranglers are a great asset for the experience of riding and enjoying the whole experience. The food was always delicious and with great variety. read more

This is a wonderful ranch run by two brothers (the second of three generations) Russell and Michael True, who do their best to make you feel like a family guest. The horse riding is wonderful and the wranglers are experienced and friendly as they lead you on rides around this 3,000 acre ranch. All levels of riding are available and lessons are a very reasonable $20 per lesson fee. Almost everything else is included and the food is top notch. I wrote a longer review on TripAdvisor, but look at the other reviews for more details on the rooms (excellent) and the many other things to do: pool, wooden barrel spa tub, tennis court, petting zoo, pool table and game room, honor bar for the evening and the list goes on. In addition to the friendly staff, this resort attracts a very friendly group of international visitors. While there are many families we also ran into singles and met folks we now call friends from the UK, Ireland, Germany and New Zealand. There is a reason this ranch is full of return visitors. While this was our first visit I know it will not be our last. read more

My two teens and I just got back from a thoroughly delightful five day stay at The White Stallion Ranch in Tucson, AZ. We're already planning our next trip. I've never been so sad when a vacation came to an end. As many others have said, the customer service is A+! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and pampered. I just soaked it all in. The riding is great, but there is also so much more to do, all on-site and all included in the price - beautiful pool, jacuzzi, sauna, exercise room, petting zoo, billiards, huge game room with air hockey/ping pong/etc, tennis courts, basketball court, etc. My teens didn't watch TV or play video games the whole vacation. And they loved every minute. Amazing! Every evening, there was a special event - meeting critters (snakes, tarantulas, scorpions, etc.), cowboy poet and singer, magic show, rodeo...By the time my head hit the pillow, I was dreaming of the awesome day we had. And the food. Wow! Delish, and always served with a smile. The staff really goes out of their way to make sure your taste buds are treated very well. I'm going to miss the fabulous meals. The weather was very hot during the day, but the horseback rides were early and late, and somehow it wasn't a big deal. It's a very special place, and I don't know why, but the atmosphere breeds friendliness amonst the guests. Traveling as a single parent, I was a bit concerned, but the other guests were so friendly, I never felt alone. There is a mandatory slow ride everyone must go on. Not very exciting, but no big deal. Then comes a test to see if you're ready for fast rides. I failed initially, but JC (wrangler extraordinaire) gave me an informal lesson, and then I passed the test. Loping (cantering/galloping) is oodles of fun, and the wranglers make safety a top priority. I had a blast galavanting around the cacti. The mountain ride was breathtaking, and the fast rides were always a blast. I felt like a real cowboy. There was a riding lesson offered every day ($20), which I regret not taking. I heard it was very worthwhile. Next trip. The team penning event is a blast. Herding cattle is definitely a lot tougher than it looks. I haven't laughed that hard in ages. And the photographer gets some wonderful photos, which he sells to guests at reasonable prices. The petting zoo was a highlight for my boys and me. There is the cutest pig and a chow-hound goat who just loves to eat. There's a machine that sells food for 10 cents. We probably spent $5 on treats for the animals. I even fed the ostriches. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say...except the fact that I had to head back to reality. I guess the way White Stallion Ranch runs the bar kind of sums it up. They use the honor system. You drink whatever you want, and then write it down on chits. And the prices are very reasonable. As a New Yorker, I was shocked. But it makes perfect sense at White Stallion. You're like family. If you're looking for a welcoming place to vacation, where you'll have the time of your life, look no further. White Stallion is a winner! Room Tip: Our deluxe room was very nice, but honestly, I wouldn't spend more for a fancy room. You won't be spending much time there. read more

I'll save everyone that's looking for details, the details...If I were to sit here and write out all of the great things about White Stallion you'd need a full day to read it. I did some research 12 months ago and also had a conversation with a colleague who visited Russell's Ranch over a year ago and boy was i glad i followed through. To say that the time that me and my family spent there far exceeded expectations would be an understatement! If you're looking for an escape from reality, a great family experience AND memories to last a lifetime, figure out a way to go spend a week at the WHITE STALLION DUDE RANCH. The amenities and food rivaled that of any 5 Star Hotels, the help/staff went above and beyond the call of duty. Russel (the Owner) and host was most gracious and the Wranglers... the patience of the Wranglers (especially Steve, Joseph) made you feel like family. They made my kids think they were the only ones there and we were all on a first name basis as soon as we hopped on our beautiful horses. I could go on forever but i wouldn't come close to doing this well oiled operation justice. Feel free to call me if you need additional information. Thanks to ALL at the WS Dude Ranch!!

This was an amazing trip during the day after Christmas to January second. I loved my horse hombre, and it was amazing through all the errors it always got resolved. The food was amazing and it was a joy to be there. the night entertainment was fun and my favorite ride had to be the one in the rain with Josh . ( sorry other staff you are all amazing too ) The views are amazing. They offer a lot of hill and flat rides , even all day and half all day. I was sad I couldn't ride Sunday because I loved my horse so much. It showed me my new favorite skill shooting. We shot pistols and rivals which were a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun when you already know how to ride I came with a group of 10 and 8 of us including me where experienced and owned horses sometime in are lives. If you are on a diet don't plan on continuing it while you are there. Warning if you are allergic to dogs this is not the place for you. read more

An amazing place! The owners, wranglers, & staff are awesome; kind, helpful & very informative! The grounds are beautiful and the casitas are quaint, nicely decorated and rustic (no phones or tvs). The food is good and the honor bar is a refreshing change of pace. There are several different rides a day and a lesson time and they try to keep you with the same horse every day. They have nightly entertainment, from line dance lessons to a bonfire with a cowboy singer, to a critter show. There is a nice smaller pool (seasonal), hot tub, game/tv room, petting farm, fitness/massage area and gift shop. While they do have free internet, it never worked in the guest rooms. I spent quite a bit of my down time walking the grounds and feeding the horses. It is a great place to stay and I would definitely come back. My only suggestion is that they offer s'more fixings for the bonfire! read more

Horseback experience (1st time) not very good due to rancher not very helpful and nice. Rooms and food ok. Too pricy for 4 day stay...Not sure if come back again. read more

This is a Dude Ranch indeed. Said in other words this is a kind of resort in the desert of Tucson with the posibility of horseback riding, no matter if you are an experienced horseback rider or a beginner. The rooms, in bungalows or "modules" are really well planned,clean and comfortable. The staff in reception is correct and helpfull. Food is nothing remarkable, although correct and I must say that the lunch and dinner time is quite stressing since the restaurant is not friendly designed,perhaps trying to add some "Cowboy" atmosphere, and the waiters are running around not helping so much in creating a calm and vacational environement. What is clear is that, as oposed as what I thought when decided to visit the ranch, this is not a place for horseback riding under literal understanding but a resort in a wonderful desert with a nice swiming pool, a small gym and access to massages, nices premises and some relax time within the spa context. Additionaly, one has the oportinity to ride as per the schedule defined every day. The wranglers are absolutely proffesionals, responsables and skilled. Horses are alright and, clearly, the excellence and care is visible. The rides are interesting and well lead and the feeling is great and comfortable. Management of this area is just excellent in technical and human capabilities terms However, the horse activities schedule is made with no attention at all to the "possibility"that the guests could have gone to the ranch or would like or desire go riding more than having sun in the pool or having some spa time. Since internal policy avoids getting a wrangler, a horse and time besides what is scheduled, if you are at White Stallion the days that fits with your riding level and time expectations you are lucky. If not.....you are not. If you complain or state your dislike to the fact that you are not allowed to ride at your level more than 2 hours in a day, if that day the schedule does not "permit" so, you can be easily at your first word, somehow mistreated as I was. Having said that, I must say that the owners found a way to satisfy my expectation. However, the tension provoked on me was out of the question and absolutely unfair. And my five days ruined. Although I do understand that having close to 100 guest at the hotel to be managed is a challenge (and also a business), the owners must understand that it is quite reasonable think that people traveling hundreds or, as in my case, thousand of miles to ride,(and having paid a sum that makes one think in another scheme), should have the chance to ride at least half day any day although even at an extra charge. In other case I would suggest to define the ranch just as a resort with riding facilities. But not using a name that makes one think that words as riding,or cowboy or wrangler(any of the three is valid) are the axe of the place. This is a good place for three days in the desert and move around Tucson and, eventually, practice some horseback riding....some day.... read more

Expected to ride, but did not expect the incredible family feel with both the staff and the other guests! I had the same horse all week and loved him! They matched my friends and I perfectly based on our description of our experience and the food was AWESOME!! Had entertainment every night...did I mention how we were family?!!! Will be back in a heartbeat. Oh and the price was super reasonable! read more

Came here on a B&B package to check the place for a future family gathering. Our room was a deluxe double, very large, clean with a nice patio attached. Breakfast is cooked to order, dinner has large portions and all was very good. Great western surroundings and lots to do for horse riders and non-riders alike. We came away totally impressed. read more

My mom and I made a trip to White Stallion Ranch from Boston last Spring for 6 days, and what an amazing experience. The rooms are beautiful and decorated nicely. I loved being able to have our own own little house to come back to at the end of a long, tiring and exciting day. The front porch is great to sit on and watch the sunrise or sunset. They have a rec room with games and a movie theater that is definitely under utilized. There is a small, but clean, gym facility and outdoor pool to soak your sore muscles in. The gift shop has many trinkets, horsey and non, that are great souvenirs to bring home. The food is delicious, and served in a quaint dining room or beautiful porch! Lunch and Breakfast are buffet styles and dinner is more sit down. If you aren't a carnivore there is a more limited selection, since there is a lot of steak to be had on a working ranch. All of the staff are wonderful and do spectacular at making you feel comfortable and at home. The Wranglers are knowledgeable and very fun. The horses are so well trained and those of all riding abilities can have a great time. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking! White Stallion Ranch is a great time for a couple/family/girls weekend retreat! read more

I can't say enough good things about this Ranch. When my husband said lets go to a dude ranch for vacation I thought I should check on home care for him. He had never been on a horse in his life. So out of blue he wants to go horse back riding I was at a loss to say least. We checked in on Sunday with a check out on Thursday. For as hot as it was they did lots of rides. I am told during the cooler season there is more rides. Don't skimp just get the package deal it is well worth it. I got a massage by Mary omg she was worth every dollar!! Step out of your comfort level and do this adventure. Come here hungry!! They feed you and feed you more. Evening entertainment we had was Painting(A++) Critter show(A++ very funny guy who does this. He was great and my daughter learned to her hearts desire about Arizona critters) Roadrunner Family(A+ was a little long but was informative about roadrunners.) Line Dancing(A+ we could not leave our comfort levels behind that much lol. Fun to watch though) Things you must have Jeans boots a hat beach towels ( You can use your room towels but a big beach towel to lay on chairs I think is a must. There are no pool towels at the pool.) Sunscreen My one suggestion would be they could update the game room. read more

My wife and I just returned from the White Stallion Ranch (first timers) and we were absolutely blown away by the location, staff, amenities and food. We did not have much riding experience before coming here but after a quick lesson from Johnathan, we were approved for the fast rides and were loping like champs the rest of our visit. The staff, and particularly the wranglers, remembered our names throughout the stay and the kitchen staff were sensitive to my wife's dietary preferences. We have already booked our week for 2021. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, exciting adventure with all the bells and whistles, the White Stallion Ranch should be your first choice! read more

My family and I almost had the time of our life at The White Stallion Ranch. The scenery was gorgeous with unimaginable sunsets and sunrises. Breakfast was cooked to order or made fresh out on the trail. The ambiance during dinner was similar to what I have experienced at our country club with beautiful surroundings, fresh creative meals and a very courteous and professional wait staff. There was even live entertainment and very comfortable rooms with jacuzzi tubs. The staff and family running it give the impression they would do anything to make your stay the best possible. The reason I am not rating the Ranch with a perfect score is because I overheard talk by staff members amongst themselves about how they were treated unfairly and at first I considered this might have been said in jest or perhaps that I had only heard part of the conversation. I shrugged it off however later I saw and heard leadership berating an employee with such negative and hostile mannerisms I could only assume what I had heard earlier to be true. No one deserves to be called names, berated or abused. I started noticing an overall attitude that management seemed to have and it was clear to me that these people are totally full of themselves. They are the Leona Helmsleys of the Dude Ranch industry and I will not patronize them or recommend them to anyone. They have no idea how lucky they are to be in the position they are to have such amazing people spending their lives to make them successful. Arrogance is not an attractive trait in business anymore than it is in a relationship. You need to hire a consultant if you can't find better managers and establish better business practices on your own. read more

I just returned from a four day stay at the White Stallion Ranch. Everything was perfect! Accommodations, Food, Entertainment and of course the Riding were superior. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home. Came home feeling relaxed and happy. read more

What an amazing hidden gem in Tucson! Everytime I visit, there's a new adventure to find. This is a family owned dude ranch, offering a real ranch experience with rustic shiek aminities. I loved feeding and horses, exploring the grounds, socializing during their happy hour and relaxing at the pool. Visited twice and looking forward to returning! read more

This ranch and the land that it's on is beautiful. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and well maintained. The staff is genuinely warm and welcoming. The food is delicious! It's also very kid-friendly, with lots of things to keep them busy and happy. I highly recommend! read more

World Class. Understated elegance from top to bottom. I'm more than impressed. (which is hard to do!) I went with my wife and 2 children and this FAR exceeded our expectations. The horses, trails and over all ranch were an A plus experience. But, there is soooooo much more to this place than horses. It's as much a high caliber "resort" as it is a ranch. A time to absorb the old west in complete style, comfort and fun. We certainly were not "roughing it" as we played tennis with the back drop of horses, mountains, and God's beauty all around us. There are "extra" frills all over this place; there is a huge game room with pool tables, ping pong, music, board games, arcade games and more were fabulous for the family to experience. Nightly entertainment. Did I mention a state of the art movie theater? How about the fact that every room was impeccable. Never have I stayed somewhere cleaner and that includes 5 star hotels. Yup. But, it gets BETTER. The staff is over the top kind and serving. Get this, they provide you with 3 gourmet healthy meals daily. Plus fresh fruit and drinks available 24 -7. Do not underestimate the importance of the food amenity. This saves precious time spent shopping, cooking and cleaning. The amazing food provision is a huge part of their successful formula. This was the first trip I went on that I came home feeling healthy and well rested, largely in part because I ate well. There is salad at every meal with veggies and fruit. Not to mention the main course meals were like our home cooking. (which is above average to say the least). Always plenty of food with great desserts. It was the real deal. What a great place to meet with family!! It's 10 times better than hunting for a restaurant 3 times a day. Wow was I impressed. And I haven't even mentioned the art, decoration or history!! Everything these people do - they do with quality and elegance. Every inch is clean. Smart. Well done. There is beautiful art peppered throughout the entire place. The quality is second to none. I'm 47 years of age and I don't get impressed easily. They sprinkle in history whenever possible. From the stories told at the camp fire, to the rodeo, to the wall in the kitchen explaining where and how it all began. This meant a lot. The shuttle van driver picks you up and is as hospitable. He starts with telling you the wonderful history of the area and ranch. Friends, that's intentional and it didn't stop there. I was immersed in this culture and can't wait to go back and have people come with us. I normally come home from a trip and say, "it was a good trip - but, I'm glad to be home." This time, I didn't say that. I felt like I would rather be in Arizona at the White Stallion Ranch. That was a first. I don't think their web site does this place service - because it focuses too much about the horse part. That is 1 key component of this place - I agree. But, there are 9 other components that the web site does not express adequately enough. I believe you can truly get a feel for a place by the reviews. Read them and look no further. It's worth every single penny!! Do not let the price get in the way of making the right choice. I promise you - you won't regret paying the extra few bucks. If there was ever a time to use the cliche' you get what you pay for - this would be that time. Sincerely, Rocky Ruggiero Lisle, IL. read more

Was in town from Illinois visiting relatives and took their sunset tour . It was AWESOME!! From our guide, to the trails, and history of the region and scenery. The sunset view was amazing . Our horses were well taken care of and very user friendly. I got to ride a famous horse "Dollar". If you are in the area I highly recommend The white Stallion ranch for a Desert tour. read more

Unforgettable~ I couldn't stop smiling; at the end of each ride, my face hurt. There is little that can make me feel freedom like loping on a good horse. Weightless and flying. Skiing does, except horseback riding adds the connection with another being: the horse who carries me, responding to my request to turn, pick up the pace, or back off the speed to match the horse in front of us. The sunshine washes the desert, illuminating the needles on the saguaro and dances with the shadows against the paddles of the prickly pear as we pass. This trip was my daughter's idea. Each year, I take one of my two girls on a trip alone to build memories together, just the two of us. No competing sibling or agenda, just a mother-daughter trip, alone, to a destination chosen by the latter. My 13-year-old chose a dude ranch. We own horses which we keep at a stable just twenty minutes from our home, but her passion for all things equine and her knowledge that a dude ranch is also about much more than riding made it her first choice. We'd stayed at White Stallion Ranch as a family when she was a baby. Although neither girl remembers the trip, her older sister fell in love with Russell True, the ranch owner, and would toddle to him in giggles every time she saw him. When she asked to go to a dude ranch this year, it seemed like the perfect fit. Accommodations: And, it was. The room was nicely decorated and very comfortable. The good beds kept the sore muscles the trail from compounding into real aches and pains. I enjoyed the living room space and the great little patio in the shade of the trees outside our front door. Meals: The atmosphere at meals brings people together, creating a place where guests meet and swap stories. Many of the people we met had stayed at the ranch before, some for many years. Not surprising, as it is an experience I think most anyone would want to repeat. We ate on the patio of the lodge, under the giant olive tree, but our favorite meal was the breakfast ride where we took to the trails early and ate pancakes and eggs in the shade of awnings built of saguaro ribs, under the backdrop of the Tucson Mountains. For Kids: Soon after we arrived, my daughter met a handful of other young guests; people whose energy level matched their own. This allowed me to watch her over the top of my book from my shaded, poolside lounge chair while she laughed and swam. They shared each other's company not only in the pool, but feeding treats to the horses as well as the goats, donkeys, emu, and other animals in the petting zoo, and hanging out in the recreation center. As we shared stories at the end of the day, all of the other parents I talked with would sigh and tell me how much their children loved the freedom they can experience at a place like this. Few other vacation choices would provide it; they'd never let their children run off with other kids they just met at an amusement park or beach. Activities: There are a lot of activities, other than horseback riding. Although I didn't use the spa myself, other guest told me the massages were fabulous. We watched the staff demonstrate rodeo events and other guest try their hand chasing calves, team penning. I sat in on a horsemanship talk, and learned a few new things. They offered nature hikes, creating art, and western dancing, although we did not participate in all of them. Riding: The horseback riding was quite enjoyable. My horse was very responsive and willing, a good match for me. The wranglers were happy to change out my daughter's mount when she decided she wanted to try another horse. She likes to go fast, and loved that their solid-but-sandy trails offer some great terrain loping rides, as some dude ranches are limited by the steep mountains or rocky trails. Staff: We ended up staying during a week when the ranch was full, yet the staff were all helpful and welcoming, nonetheless. I might have preferred to stay during a week when they had more leisure time and could stop to chat, but the service certainly did not suffer because of the large number of guests. We were consistently greeted with a smile, and every request was treated as important. We had a wonderful stay at White Stallion Ranch, and certainly hope to join the ranks of the repeat guests. Even if we don't return any time soon, my daughter and I created an experience together that brings us closer together, one we will not ever forget. read more

I'm 50 years old, and the White Stallion Ranch made my lifetime dream come true. Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a cowgirl, but it wasn't in the cards for this Maine girl. Until my visit to the White Stallion Ranch. For a brief period of time, nothing else mattered...I was a real cowgirl! The horses, the location, the lodging, the staff...everything here is incredible. Escape reality and experience REAL ranch life. This family-owned ranch is magical. Do I recommend it?? Hell, yesssss!! read more

Awesome experience! Loved that it was inclusive, the horses, the staff. Will definitely be back.

Just had an incredible two day stay at White Stallion Ranch. It surpassed all of my hopes and dreams! The owners and their staff were professional and the most caring people one could ever hope to encounter. The friend who accompanied me, had special needs. Everyone at White Stallion went to great effort to insure her stay was memorable. The room was wonderful, the food was incredible, and the grounds gorgeous. It does not disappoint! We met several European families who were repeat guests. They were all delightful! I want to go back! Ina read more

Stayed here for 2 nights. Amazing all around. Did the morning breakfast slow ride and afternoon fast ride followed by dinner on site. Loved my room with the outdoor fireplace on the patio. Everything was run so well and the staff was top notch. Like someone else reviewed: The rooms, the facilities, the food, the trails, the staff, the activities, and the horses were all amazing. Will definitely come back and stay longer next time. The fast ride was exhilarating and changed my perspective on horseback riding even though my butt and back were sore the next day. Rawhide was my horse and my wife's was moonshine. Only thing I would like to see in the future is the hot breakfast ending at 10, even though they had a cold breakfast spread until 10 for late wakers like me. read more

My family and I have just returned from a 6 day trip at WSR. It was amazing! When we arrived we were given a short tour of the ranch and it's amenities and shown to our rooms. We are a family of four, so we got two connecting rooms. The rooms were very clean and well decorated, no detail missed, very comfortable. The grounds of the ranch were also very well maintained. The food was wonderful, as well as the dinning staff. You have the option of eating inside the beautiful dining room or outside on the spacious patio area. The activities were great we were never bored, very well organized. I must also mention that we had a gentleman named Trevor who was our guide for shooting, archery and a UTV ride and he was wonderful. From his knowledge of the ranch, fun stories, and great sense of humor to his overall patience and willingness to make sure we were having a great time, he made our experience even more enjoyable. This was truly an amazing experience, we hated to leave but can't wait to go back. read more

I spent two nights at the White Stallion Ranch. I wouldn't have known about it, but the Ranch donated a two night stay to the Ronald McDonald House and I won the stay at their recent silent auction in Tucson. I have to say that I had no idea what to expect, and I also have to say that it was one of the most fun getaway weekends I've ever had! I travel a lot, and I tend to be picky and annoying about things. But at White Stallion Ranch, everything exceeded my expectations. The staff are wonderful, the food is fantastic, the scheduling of things to do is well coordinated in every respect. I was assigned my own horse at the beginning (Jaeger), and so whenever I went to ride he was saddled up and ready to go (they schedule rides, so one need only sign up to be assured that the assigned horse is ready). I did a breakfast ride (a sublime early morning slow ride out to the foothill of the mountains, whereupon breakfast was cooked up and served); a slow ride (just relaxing as we rode for a few hours); a lesson (after I failed the test to do a "fast" ride). It's an unbelievably well run place--places like the Ritz Carlton could learn from the management of White Stallion! They just do everything right! I loved my stay, my friend loved our weekend there, and I can't wait to go back. If you have ever thought about going to a dude ranch, please consider White Stallion Ranch. It's unbelievable and so worthy of your business. read more

I just returned from a girls weekend at White Stallion Ranch. I could not be more pleased. The accommodations were perfect, the surroundings were beautiful. There were so many photo opportunities with the beautifully landscaped desert surround the property, with amazing views of mountains in the distance you could spend all day just taking pictures. You really feel like you are in another world. We met people from all over the world visiting a real western ranch and everyone is smiling. The staff was attentive, polite, and very helpful. The food was wonderful. It was like staying with family. There are trail rides for all levels of skill. And you'll see the staff rounding up your horses, working at the reception desk, and helping to serve food. They even took pictures of our group - from the owner to the ranch hands - they do it all - and some know your name just by the horse they handpicked for you. It was just amazing, and everyone should go at least once. read more

We did a lot of research before deciding to try White Stallion and what a great decision it was. We just finished our third trip and continue to enjoy every minute at the ranch. It is a short drive from Tucson airport but you feel like you're 1,000 miles away from anything. Beautiful rides through stunning desert landscapes followed by delicious food, every modern luxury, immaculate rooms, and a staff that just never quits trying to make your experience extraordinary. Team penning was a particular highlight for us. White Stallion is the perfect balance of old west horse riding and modern hospitality. read more

We just returned from a 4 day stay. The food was great and the wranglers were awesome. We just booked a week for December 2015. Look no farther if you are looking for a nice get away. When in the area make sure to visit the Biosphere 2. read more

Best trip of my life. Everyone was so friendly, the food was amazing, and my horse Ranger was incredible. I cannot wait to come back!

We stayed here as B&B guest. We have a horse farm so the riding was not important to us. We were so busy during our stay that we didn't even get to eat dinner at the ranch. But we did get to eat breakfast and it was excellent every time. The casita we stayed in was very nice, clean and well decorated. It was also nice and quiet. We had a double queen room for this stay and will be staying in a family suite in October because we liked this place so much. The grounds are awesome and I'm sure the ranch operations are up to par and well run. This ranch has a long interesting history and is worth the money to stay at. read more

I have been dreaming of a dude ranch vacation for years and the White Stallion Ranch surpassed my every expectation. The culture of kindness and accommodation is so rich that it makes even the most demanding guests turn into sweet cream-puffs. The management, staff, wranglers, servers, housekeeping, even the massage therapist made me feel welcome and cared for in an effortless, unpretentious way. I enjoyed every part of my experience there: read more
