Reviews of Rancho de la Osa
"I went for a girls' weekend with a friend and we had a really fantastic and unforgettable experience. I live in southern Arizona and have visited a lot of attractions and hotels, but this was hands-down the most special and unique place I've stayed in the area. The building and grounds are beautiful and full of history about which staff are very knowledgeable. Food was delicious. My friend and I did archery with staff member (cowboy) Adam who was a wonderful teacher; all management and staff were very generous and helpful. Would strongly recommend any time of year, for any length of time." - JRP


“Absolutely incredible! Bob was like a character out of a book. He was SOOOO accommodating!!!! The crew were outta sight great! The food was to DIE for.Sooooo much to do! Horses were great and well trained. Incredible must do in a lifetime! Rustic ambiance.” - Gigi P.


“We had stayed at another True Ranch Collection ranch before and loved it so much that we wanted to check out Rancho de la Osa as well. We weren't disappointed! Rancho de la Osa transports you to another time and place. The remote location is beautiful and peaceful, and the service from the ranch staff is welcoming and attentive. While our stay was short, we loved going for desert rides, hanging out with the other guests in the dining room and the cantina, and visiting Debbie's Hilltop Bar in Sasabe with the wranglers and locals. As long as you're down for rustic adventure, you will have a blast.” - Doris H.


“Wow, this place is the real deal. We loved our four day stay, with a lovely King bed in Room #11. The riding here is top notch, and they will improve - your technique if you ask. Or you can just amble along in a trail ride - there were many levels of riders here, including complete newbies. We also rode fat tire E-bikes, and took a ride in the UTV to see "the wall". Food is family style, and very well done. They did accommodate a vegan among us, she was very happy with her meals. The cantina is a blast - there were games and cards and even a night of Cowboy Poetry. We've been to many ranches, but this one makes you feel like family. We will definitely be back!” - Sue R.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES:
Horseback Riding Program – If you’re an experienced rider or never been on a horse, we’ve got the ride for you. Our wranglers will match you with a horse appropriate to your experience level and lead you on scenic rides through sandy washes, over rocky terrain, past incredible rock formations and across lush desert grasslands. For more experienced riders, loping and trotting can be incorporated into rides where the terrain allows. Lessons are also available. Horseback riding is available to children 5 years and older.

Guided Off-Road Tours – Go on an off-road adventure in one of our UTVs (Utility Task Vehicle). Our guide will take you and up to four other guests on an adventure to the United States-Mexico border or take you on a trip to explore the nearby ghost town ruins.

Guided Fat Tire Electric Bike Tours – Trade one saddle for another and experience the southwest on a fat tire electric mountain bike. You can peddle on your own or get assistance on those tough hills from a high powered motor capable of 20 mph speeds. Guided Fat Tire Electric Bike Tours are available to children 12 years and older.

Sport Shooting and 22 Range – As long as you’re visiting our “wild west” ranch, you might as well participate in our safe and fun shooting program. We don’t just have your typical shooting range experience, you can expect targets at different angles, heights and speed variations. Channel your inner Wild Bill Hickok and attempt to hit various objects set against a southern desert backdrop. Sport Shooting is available to children 12 years and older. Some firearms are restricted to children 16 years and older.

3D Archery Range – Newly built archery range right on the ranch featuring 3D targets and the latest equipment.

Hiking – Walk a few yards from your room and you’ll likely run across the same trails forged by legendary figures like Pancho Villa. Walk on red clay trails towards the famous Baboquivari Mountain. Tour Buenos Aires wildlife refuge and run into giant jackrabbits, roadrunners and deer. Hike along old western ghost towns that still feature intact buildings.

Bird Watching – Rancho de la Osa borders the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge and is a birdwatching paradise. Our ranch and surrounding areas are home to the endangered Masked Bobwhite Quail and 300 other species including Herons, Gray Hawks, Vermillion Fly Catchers, Loggerhead Shrikes and Golden Eagles,

Swimming – After a long day on the road or trails, nothing feels better than a relaxing dip in our heated pool. Great way to meet friends, soak up some sun or catch up on your reading.
