My husband and I loved our stay at the ranch! The employees were wonderful! The scenery was sublime, and the ranch offered all the help and activity you could want. The kayak guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. 100% reccommend a trip down the Salt River! Wild horses and plentiful fish were just some of the beautiful wildlife we got to see on our trip. Its was so nice to be close to so many excellent hiking trails and awesome Saguaro Lake. Breakfast was great everyday, the pancakes were a favorite. All in all, definitely recommend for a couples getaway, family vacation or weeked staycation! We will definitely be back!

The views are spectacular. I wish I could’ve enjoyed the activities. The only downside is the drive back into the city, about a 20-40 minute drive depending on where you’re going. Staff was wonderful, and breakfast was great!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch, nestled in a beautifully quiet area that offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The serene surroundings of the ranch, set along the Salt River, were a perfect backdrop for a truly relaxing vacation. The ranch itself was wonderful, with comfortable accommodations and excellent service. The variety of activities available was impressive and made our stay even more enjoyable. We spent our days kayaking on the pristine river, horse riding through scenic trails, and paddle boarding in the calm waters. For those who enjoy hiking, the nearby trails offered breathtaking views and a chance to immerse in nature. One of the highlights was simply swimming in the river or taking a dip in the ranch’s well-maintained pool. Both provided a refreshing way to cool off and unwind. Overall, Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch exceeded our expectations. It's a perfect destination for anyone looking to enjoy a mix of adventure and relaxation in a beautiful, tranquil setting. We can't wait to return!

This is a really special place, primarily due to the staff (who likely include the owners). They were very welcoming and accommodating. The cabins are quaint and get the job done, in a somewhat rustic way. We enjoyed their communal dinner twice and it was fantastic, and breakfast was great, too. I would definitely stay there again!

There are no words to describe the beauty of this resort or the kindness of the staff. By far the best experience I have ever had traveling…the scenery was breathtaking, SO many activities to keep us all occupied, VERY peaceful, food was 5 star and the staff went above and beyond on everything. Loved our accommodations - clean and spacious. We cannot wait to go back and will recommend it to everyone we know! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

We loved the charm, comfort, and beauty of this property. The pool was heated, which we appreciated. The walking trails were poorly marked so we didn't get where we thought we would, though it was very scenic. Some minor improvements I would have liked include more hooks on the walls, particularly in the bathroom. A grab bar in the shower would also have been nice. A big plus would be in the food area. We didn't expect this and had to drive 15 miles to get something to eat for dinner. Even a cup-o-noodles would have been sufficient. Also, I think it's great that they offer vegan breakfasts, but not all of us are that stringent: I had to ask for butter and cream. The only negative thing we experienced was when they pumped the septic tank. It was near our cabin and it smelled quite nasty. Going outside was unpleasant, as was opening the door! Since it was fairly brief, it won't keep us from returning. Perhaps we'll be in Arizona next year! Thanks to the ladies at the front desk - you were all very friendly.

Restful, Relaxing, Peaceful

On a whim, we booked a cabin at this "ranch". We loved it so much, we never left the property our entire 3-night booking. The food was the best you can find, the staff were the most friendly and helpful we have ever had, and we were able to relax and truly enjoy our time here. We hated to leave! If you want a getaway that's relaxing yet fun, we highly recommend!

We can’t wait to visit again! The property is AMAZING, horses were on sight super convenient. They had a number of options for rafting, kayaking, hiking, the kids swam in the pool and there were a bunch of pool toys there. Beautiful view, staff was incredible, we are planning to go back and do the guided hike. The cabins are small and the beds were not great but that is always a risk when traveling.

Best Kept Secret!!

Love this place! Location is supreme and the scenery is gorgeous! It sits on the salt river where you can begin your kayaking or tubing without the crowds. The personnel that work there are fantastic and so friendly! I really can’t say enough about this place! 5th time there and will go back again. The BBQ with live music was a lot of fun and the food was so good!

My family had a great time on the river! The staff at Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch were amazing! They were very friendly, helpful and kind. My 12 year old son even commented on how nice they were! The grounds were nicely kept and our cabin was perfectly rustic. We will definitely be back!
