RANCHO DE LOS CABALLEROS

Who says a cowgirl can’t have it all? If you’re longing to experience the rugged authenticity of a working dude ranch while enjoying the beauty and wide open spaces of the Old West amidst the amenities of a luxury resort, look no further than historic Rancho de los Caballeros, a sumptuous oasis for the senses just sixty minutes north of Phoenix.  A well-renowned guest ranch since 1948, Rancho de los Caballeros boasts 20,000 acres of rolling hills, Saguaro cactus and the breathtaking vistas of the flowering Sonoran desert that extend as far as the eye can see.

This pristine hideaway and ultra–comfortable haven evokes the feeling of a welcoming hacienda, but with the multiple personalities of a country club and destination resort ready to charm and match all sensibilities.  The variety of rooms, suites and casitas, many with their own private patio overlooking the stunning desert or mountain views, offer something to suit everyone’s taste, and all reflect the unique southwestern style. 

The Great Room of the Rancho, with its rustically luxuriant furnishings and massive copper fireplace hood will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, to an unrushed era of unstudied elegance and ease. The culinary team delights in preparing an impressive array of epicurean feasts designed to satisfy every palette. Part of the great charm of Rancho de los Caballeros is the diversity of experiences and activities it is able to offer its guests while retaining the untarnished authenticity and flavor of its dude ranch origins and historic standing.  What has not changed in the fifty-plus years of the Rancho’s heritage is the profound peace and quiet to be had in this desert enclave.
