We stayed in the "Safe House", which had safe doors on the Master Bedroom. The cabin was spotless and had enough air conditioners to keep every room cool. The grounds were unique and beautiful. We hope to return.

Peaceful Getaway
This ranch is a wonderful place to go for a getaway. The property is so beautiful and is very peaceful. There are no TV's in the rooms which is fine. It was nice to just relax, go for a walk and enjoy conversing with one another. We also had a nice dinner at an Italian restaurant close by.

An oasis of an interesting and expansive restored historic property. While our original room choice was unavailable at check-in due to unfortunate hail damage the previous night, the manager was so friendly and accommodating in letting us move to a unit more to our liking on night 2. A wonderful stay and I wish I had realized I had a friend that lives directly adjacent to the property.

Our stay was amazing ! What a hidden gem ! Very peaceful and serene for my husband and I and we would definitely be back when visiting Oracle. It would also be a great place for a family reunion, wedding or party as the grounds were beautiful . We had a family group in town for an event and it was so nice to be able to hang out in between our family gatherings .

Room was very clean. The heating in our room was poor- a small space heater with very little control over the temperature. Friends in other rooms had better heating, may have just been our room stable 12. Excellent taco food truck on Friday night.

CLEAN COZY RANCH
The keypad on the door to stable #9 is sensitive. We were pressing too hard and had difficulty getting in as a result. The staff rescued us, nice people. Other than a bad switch on a small table lamp in small bedroom it was perfect. Very charming and quiet! Love the decor, great towels, comfy beds a nite light in bathroom, thank you! VERY CLEAN!!!! I believe the new owner in process of a major renovation. I would suggest mini split AC’s or just fresh air if temp allows. Oracle in middle of nowhere but after a day of driving up to Mt Lemmon it was a nice landing spot. Not a lot of dining options but we found the Ore House Tavern a few minutes down the road and listened to a great band, great food and awesome people watching. We sat out and watched the meteor showers. Great little weekend getaway ranch!
