Beautiful Home in Tucson
A beautiful main house in nice Tucson location. Well maintained property and kitchen fully stocked. Some confusion on in person meeting to check in, but manager assisted us. Didn't realize it was a shared compound with other rentals, but we had plenty of privacy. Would rent this gorgeous home again.

Amazing rental home
My family really enjoyed staying in this large and amazing home. The kitchen was well stocked with every cooking tool you could need, spices etc. The hot tub and massage chair were popular amenities. The master bed was adjustable (one side worked) which was great for me. Overall it was a great place for an indulgent get away.

I love Tucson
Great location, near sabino canyon, Safeway, restaurants. Fun outside spaces with hot tubs and onsite tortoise. Lots of inside seating with big couches. The property manager was super responsive about a rescheduled arrival date and extra supplies. The shared common space outside was unusual but worked out fine. It turned out to be a non issue, but I wish we had understood that two of the four bathrooms were in the master suite. It worked because we were all family, but it would have better to understand the arrangement ahead of time.

Large home with great outdoor space
Nine adults stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed mornings on the patio and an evening dip in the large spa. Large dining area was useful as we tend to cook and eat at home more than dine out. Unfortunately, unseasonably hot weather prevented us from doing even more outdoors. Perfect set up for outdoor gatherings

Shared property
Overall, this is a very nice house in a good location and has some neat outdoor areas. It is clean, comfortable and well maintained. The communication and check in process was excellent. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that it was not very clear in the description that there are additional casitas on the property that will share the yard, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, etc. We got home from a long bike ride and intended on using the hot tub only to find another couple in it where they remained for well over 2 hours. It needs to be clearer that this is a shared property. Part of what I look for is privacy, which is mentioned multiple times.

Great Time Once Again
We’re a group of eight men ranging in age from 72 to 90 and this is our fourth time staying here. Like in the past, this was the perfect setting for our homebase as we enjoyed nearby, restaurants and sites in Tucson. We also love the indoor and outdoor generous meeting spaces as well as using the hot tub. We definitely recommend it and will be soon booking for our next year‘s visit.

Amazing
Our family stayed at Horse Thief Ranch when we had a wedding in Tucson. The home was pristine and was the perfect landing spot for all of our weekend activities! The location is fabulous… nestled in the Catalina foothills. We visited Sabino Canyon and enjoyed hanging by the pool and Jacuzzi. The house itself is beautifully appointed and the beds were very comfortable! Will definitely visit again!

A great weekend
This is our third visit to horse thief and we enjoyed it as much as the last two times. It’s the perfect place for seven guys to relax visit and enjoy beautiful Tucson in April. The house had everything we need and all in excellent, working order. Lots of indoor and outdoor spaces to use and a very convenient location. Close to natural resources and restaurants. Will book our stay shortly for next year.

Absolutely perfect
Host was extremely helpful and responsive. House was perfect for a small family reunion. All beds were comfortable, kitchen was wonderful to work in with plenty of space to cook and keep food in large refrigerator. Table seating was ample of the 12 of us and there was a very large, comfortable sofa in front of the large screen TV. The grounds were well maintained and a gardener was on the property. We didn't use the two hot tubs or the outdoor kitchen, but both looked wonderful. I would highly recommend this property. It was a joy to be there.

Pleasant stay at Horse Thief Ranch
We had a pleasant weeklong stay at the ranch main house. The check in process was simple and the place was set up to be quite user friendly. The house does have a couple of quirks, like one of the guest bathrooms being inside the master suite (which has a different master bathroom), and the only access to that guest bathroom being through the master suite door. The guest bathrooms are dated in general. But overall the place has a good amount of room, the expected rustic ambience, and our group had an enjoyable stay.
