WELCOME
With more than 320 days of sunshine a year and night-time stars that shine with unmatched clarity within a coal black sky, Rancho De La Osa is a special place that rejuvenates the spirit and invigorates the soul.
Location
Situated just 65 miles from Tucson, our 300 year old intimate property is one of the last great haciendas in America. Established as a guest ranch in 1923, Rancho De La Osa’s history has been lovingly preserved in the beautiful buildings that rest comfortably in the rolling grasslands of the high Sonoran Desert.
Activities
At Rancho De La Osa daytime activities include horseback trail rides, guided hikes, nature walks, mountain biking and bird watching. And, after spending time in the saddle and exploring on foot, you can relax in the hot tub, cool down in the pool or have a massage before enjoying a pre dinner drink in the cantina.
Meal times are focused around quality food and wine. Southwestern cuisine, encompassing a blend of Spanish, Mexican, Native American and Southwestern United States ingredients, is served either in our romantic and historic hacienda dining room, secluded outdoor courtyard or under the stars at a cookout.
Special Programs and Events
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced rider we have a variety of programs to suit your ability including horse clinics on demand, private riding lessons, “wrangler’s assistant” and “more time in the saddle” getaways. In addition, our themed weekends include cowboy cookouts, half and full day hikes, wine tasting dinners, cooking lessons, cattle round ups, dudeos and informal western dance instruction.
Accommodation
Our 21 adobe guest rooms are uniquely and vibrantly furnished with Mexican antiques. All rooms are ground level with separate entrances and private bathrooms. Each has a porch that opens to mountain views and most rooms have a wood burning fireplace.
Testimonials
"I celebrated my birthday at the ranch and it was phenomenal - from the food to the service to the horseback riding - everything exceeded my expectations. I was with six friends and family members, and we all felt that it was a wonderfully unique place with an extremely friendly and competent staff. The horses are great (well trained, but with spirit) and I would recommend it for any level of rider." Lisa Frankel, Miami
“When reaching the gate we realized we had found an oasis in the desert. Our stay has been spectacular ever since. The privacy and special treatment we’ve had has only made our stay more perfect. Your ranch is so beautiful … Now the staff, how lucky you are to have such pleasant and loyal people working for you … Again, I would like to convey just how wonderful you all are and we will not forget a minute of it. What a great second honeymoon adventure.” Alice and Jim McCluskey, Ohio
“I have come to Rancho De La Osa during three different seasons and whether traveling alone, with friends, or with my children I have found each experience to be incredibly unique and worthwhile … The historic hacienda and guest rooms have been artfully refurbished to create an atmosphere of striking beauty and warmth; the meals are top-notch and the overall hospitality always leaves me feeling as if I have been among old friends.” Jennifer Burke, California |
