Perfect for our Family

The house, the casitas and the grounds worked super well for my family group of 16. We loved Tucson and we loved the hosts. We had so much space, and the bonfire on our last night was amazing. Our host bought us smore ingredients, which made our last night even more special.

Great Property

This was our 2nd year staying here and it was as excellent as we expected. Kristen, the host, was great and made sure we had everything we needed. Several of us used the gym every morning and all of us enjoyed the firepit at the house at night. Beds were very comfortable as well. If you are going to Tucson, you need to book this property

Perfect place for our CEO retreat

I traveled to this beautiful property with several colleagues as part of a CEO mastermind group. It was the perfect spot for our time away from the day-to-day hustle of our businesses. Around every corner there seemed to be another pleasant surprise - a perfect meeting spot around a campfire, a stable full of friendly animals, even a nearby walking path that led to a beautiful lake. There was plenty of space for us to come together to learn and share, as well as ample space to spread out when we needed quieter time for reflection and planning. The hosts were easy to communicate with from the time we booked until we all checked out and they made us feel truly welcomed. If you’re traveling with a group, especially one that enjoys spending time outdoors, I can’t recommend this property highly enough.

Return visit

After our visit in September 2024, we knew this was the perfect place to return to celebrate the life of Boompa (grandpa.) Since our last visit 2 casitas and a game room (big hit with grandchildren) were added. Owners went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Having the whole property for our group made it so relaxing. The attention to detail and responsiveness of the owners was amazing. We enjoyed walking around the property, petting the mules and cows, working out in the gym, having comfortable casitas for everybody and there was a bonfire pit! We look forward to returning again.

Perfect for family reunion

We had the privilege of staying at Woodland Ranch over Labor Day weekend. Everything about our stay was perfection. The property itself is a magnificent oasis in the desert. Lush grounds, resort-like swimming and entertaining area, individual Casitas with beautiful decor, a workout room, and the most attentive and engaging hosts we have ever met.

Great Stay in Tucson

Our group of 14 friends and work associates really enjoyed our stay. It was nice having private rooms for everyone, the pool area was a fantastic gathering place with ample room for everyone. The owner was very responsive from time of booking through to the end of our stay, and while on site they checked in from time to time to see if we needed anything. Everything about our stay was very enjoyable.

Best property on VRBO

Everything about our stay was wonderful, the property is absolutely beautiful! Our large family stayed for my dad’s 70th birthday and the accommodations were great. Everyone had their own rooms and then we gathered each day at the main house or pool. The pool area is soo beautiful, we spent most of our time there. Kristan and her husband were great hosts, they went above and beyond! We hope to be back next year for my mom’s 70th birthday!

Golfing Tucson

A group of friends and I recently stayed at the Woodland Road 1882 Historic Ranch for an annual golf trip. It was absolutely perfect for our needs. All eight of us had our own private room with all the amenities as well as a number of common areas to meet in the morning and after our rounds in the evening. Each night Kristen had a bon fire prepared for us to light along with additional wood to keep the fun and banter going into the evening. I highly recommend this location for golfing around the Tucson area. It was comfortable, private, and nicely appointed. It was still a little cold in March to take full advantage of an awesome pool area. However, there is a gym and game room that kept everyone as busy as they wanted. Everyone agreed that this set a new bar for our group in terms of lodging for our golf trips. We are all looking forward to coming back next year and playing a few different courses. Kristen is a fantastic host. She is very responsive and any request or question we had was accommodated or answered quickly. Thank you!

this is a great property! the owner/hostess was onsite and she was incredibly responsive. The pool area is fantastic, the big house is very nice and the casitas, while rustic, afford privacy and the basics needed, e.g. towels, coffee maker, mini fridge, etc. This is an ideal spot for a family reunion, small corporate retreats and similar events. Highly recommended! The neighborhood is also good for walks, lots of small ranches nearby.

Amazing property and hosts

The ranch is beautiful and perfect for large or small groups. Kristen accomodated our work team retreat and went above and beyond, including receiving deliveries before we arrived, early check-ins, even s'more sticks and firewood! All the rooms are clean, comfortable, have fridges with drinks, and the bunk room is perfect for kids. The house is beautiful and roomy with so many places to conduct separate meetings or have space to just retreat to by yourself. The horses and other wildlife are the icing on the cake. The location is also very near a grocery store and restaurants. Overall a 5-star stay! Thank you, Kristen and family!
