We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Horse Thief Ranch guest house. Keith was very responsive to all our requests, and he saved the day with his recommendation for a shop to fix the a/c in our car. We especially enjoyed all the outdoor space. We cooked dinner every night on the big grill in the courtyard and ate outside, either in the big courtyard or our small private courtyard. Will definitely return!

The location was fabulous, so close to Sabino Canyon. It was quiet and the surroundings were lovely. The kitchen could be stocked better, more than four plates four cups, four Forks. There were two of us staying for 5 days, the supplies that were there to start with were limited. There were two coffee K-Cups for two people staying 5 days. Overall, it was lovely and I would stay there again.

The guest house was very well maintained and appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The furniture and bed were comfy. Communication with the owner and manager was excellent. We loved having our “own” little garden to sit in and take in the beautiful view of the mountains. This casita was just minutes (by car) from Sabino Canyon Recreation Area which was stunning. We also were able to easily drive to many authentic Sonoran restaurants.

Property management team was incredibly accommodating - we let them know we’d be checking in pretty late into the night, and they made sure the A/C was running, lights were on, and that we knew exactly where to go. The rental was very clean and had everything we needed - super comfortable and had a great aesthetic. The walking trail right next to the rental was great, too.100% recommend this rental and this management team.
