We spent one night at Ranch de la Osa, but will go back soon for a longer stay. We are lucky to be within driving distance of this historical treasure! The furnishing and textiles are fabulous, Chef Raymond and Veronica cook up some wonderful food (definitely not ranch style grub!), Richard was our wonderful tour guide for a hike (we... More

We come for the uniqueness of place and the chance to... More

I, too, would like to sing the praises of Rancho de la Osa, especially for Dallas. We (my wife and two girls, ages 9 and 20/21) visited right after the rush of the holidays and had the place all to ourselves. As noted in the other reviews, the "ranch hands" were extremely amenable. Dallas, the wrangler, deserves to be singled... More

The staff was so friendly. "Dallas", one of our wranglers, was so good with the kids they just loved him. He worked them in the arena helping them improve their skills while making it fun by adding adventures like riding out to find the camp of 'hostiles' ;-). And Colette [sic?] was so patient and helpful to the new riders... More

Rancho de la Osa was a perfect place to rest after some hard days of cycling through the desert. It is visually stunning. The buildings are low slung with exterior colours that evoke the sunset. The guest bedrooms are pleasing in their faux-aged patinas and pops of colourful southwest design on bedding/upholstery and art. Each guest bedroom is unique. Ours,... More

My wife and I had a chance to have a break from the kids last spring while mom and dad were out visiting us in Scottsdale. We had a fantastic time. I am not a rider (my wife is), but the wranglers were wonderful and I really enjoyed riding. The meals are "foodie" heaven. I wish I could eat more.... More

My sisters and I just had the best long weekend at the ranch. Everything was included: three meals per day, horse back riding, a great pool, a wonderful service. The owners, Richard and Veronica, were great to talk with and when time permitted came and visited with us. They have created an place where people of all nationalities gather and... More

Rancho de la Osa has been a guest ranch since 1920. It is, very simply, a treasure which you should not miss if you love the west and want to experience an unspoiled area of the high Sonoran desert at an authentic hacienda rich with centuries of Mexican and American history. We spent five days there in early March and... More
