About the host

I have been coming to Tanque Verde Ranch for years and fell in love with the Sonoran Desert and the unique landscape and amazing views of the east side of Tucson. I guess a bit of a wild hair got me to looking for our own ranch property and I was lucky to find this one in just the location I wanted. We feel very fortunate and pleased to be able to share this special space with our guests. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
