Awesome place

We really enjoyed our stay at the ranch. We loved feeding the donkeys carrots each day. The owners were so accommodating and helpful. Great location and privacy. I would love to stay again when it’s a little cooler outside. Very unique find on VRBO. Beautiful pool. Comfortable beds. Loved being there.

Enchanted hideaway.

Rancho Privado is the perfect place to relax, enjoy Tucson outskirts, and life with nature and the donkeys. Our granddaughters spent most of the stay with the donkeys and in the hot tub. Lisa and Ray are delightful host/owners...always available...never invasive. We now consider them friends. When we need a place to stay in Tucson again, you will find us at Rancho Privado!

Family Annual Gathering

We had 6 adults and 2 grandsons (4&6) for 1 week. Exceeded our needs and expectations. The boys learned to swim for the first time. Property felt large and very private. The owners very welcoming & accommodating on our time schedule. We highly recommend for family gatherings.

Rancho Privado was perfect for our family group of 10 (plus my 11mo old grandchild). Lots of space for everyone. The large kitchen / living area was the perfect area for us all to gather, for meals and family fun. The pool was another favorite hang out, and my granddaughter had a great time walking around in her float in the shallow end. The casita was the perfect area for the younger crew to retire to and the main casa was spacious and perfect for the older crew. There was so much room for everyone. The front porch was also another perfect gathering place. Both areas were fully stocked with everything you needed from cookware to plates, glasses, utensils, towels, beach towels... you name it, it was there! When we weren't out exploring all the beauty of Tucson and the mountains, we were walking around the huge property, admiring the gardens, decore and all the work Lisa and Ray put into such a fabulous place. It was an absolutely perfect place to be.

Wonderful Christmas Holiday with our Family

The hosts, Lisa and Ray, were very accomodating and helpful. The home was very nice, beautifully decorated and well equipped with pots and pans, cooking utensils and other necessities. We were allowed to park a motorhome on the property where a couple of our guests chose to sleep. We were pleasantly surprised to find Christmas decorations, a decorated Christmas tree, and festive tableware for all of us. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel at home. Our grandchildren loved feeding carrots to the burros and they especially enjoyed the spa as did the adults.

Really a Magical Desert Oasis

All 5 stars! House is spacious and has everything you need and an authentic southwest vibe and very private. The property is itself large with plenty of area to explore and enjoy the desert. We were greeted with a fresh bag of great coffee for our use! The beach entrance pool and hot tub worked perfectly and loved using them every day. The house is well decorated with plenty of intriguing southwest art pieces. Very tranquil property for relaxing. Wifi and cable worked perfectly! The hosts, Ray and Lisa, are fantastic people and are hands on with the property. Ray stopped by each morning to check on the pool and skimmed for us each morning as well. You will most likely meet them more than once during your stay and they are very accessible and responsive by phone. I will definitely be looking to stay here again. My whole family loved it and let's not forget the miniature donkeys! One of the highlights of the trip. Mr. Tee, Sundance and Bucky are super friendly and we let them out each day to hang out and feed them carrots. We were there several days and were sad to leave!

My entire family enjoyed this beautiful house and outdoor scenery with the cutest donkeys ever! Great walks with tons of different animals to enjoy seeing. Plenty of room for everyone. Had a fun time drinking hot chocolate by outdoor fireplace! Lisa and Ray are absolutely amazing and so easy to talk to. We hope to visit again in the future. Thank you Kudzia Family

Family getaway

I have a big family mostly based in Arizona. When we decided to get together with some of the out of state folks this property was a perfect option. The pool and hot tub kept the kids entertained all day. The space was sufficient for 10 people with some creative sleeping arrangements (closet bunk beds). The owners were easy to communicate with and very helpful when we arrived. Would recommend and stay again.

Family Gathering

Such a beautiful well kept property. Ray the owner was fantastic. Any and all requests we had were handled by Ray. He was there daily and was a cornucopia of knowledge. We reserved for 11 adults and 4 were unable to attend which worked out while. The Hacienda will sleep 8 adults comfortably. The great room and kitchen was the main meeting place. We were able to meet Lisa the evening before check out and she cordial. Mr T was a real hit.

Peaceful Oasis

This property surpassed all of our expectations for a long weekend with friends. The grounds had so much to explore. We spent many hours on the patio, watching birds, listening to the frogs in the koi pond. The interior was filled with original art and treasures. The kitchen was large and well stocked with everything we needed to cook several meals. The house had.a great mix of quiet corners and comfortable gathering spaces. There was plenty of room for our party of 7. We’re already planning our next trip back and talking about staying longer next time. Lisa and Ray were great hosts!

Wonderful

We had such a great time staying here. The place is so interesting with all the cool and unique art and unusual furniture and there’s so much of it we discovered new pieces every day. The house is very large and comfortable with a great pool that is set up like a swimming hole but with a large hot tub.. The owners are kind, caring and engaging. We cancelled Mother’s Day reservations at Mira Val when we realized that we preferred hanging out at Rancho Privado. My wife really enjoyed all the bird life, the donkeys, frogs,,,I could just keep going on. Needless to say but we can’t wait to return.
