Annual golf trip
My friends and I do an annual golf trip. This property was a perfect place to hold this year's event. Large house with plenty of space to gather as a group, but enough beds in order to not have to share. The house is beautiful and clean. Jacuzzi, pool and yard are perfect to enjoy the weather and views. Recommend this for any size gathering; from family reunions or friends coming together. Check in process was super easy, friendly owners, just a perfect property. Booking this again for a family holiday weekend for sure.

Tubac Treehouse

Fantasy Come True
We booked for our anniversary. New VBRO listing and we were beyond excited to have an opportunity to stay in one of the Treehouse Guys built amazing treehouses. The treehouse was plenty spacious, and the views were absolutely amazing. For being in the desert everything was so green, and the mountain views were fantastic. This is on a working cattle ranch so there were cattle also grazing in the green pastures. Everything was perfect from the wind blowing into the treehouse's porch, to the porch swing and the local milled mesquite side, to the recycled wood beams brought in from Canada from an old air hanger. There is even a running river (stream) and a pond. Tubac is a quaint artistic town that has great restaurants and shops. There is so much history in this region of Arizona due to the migration of people on the Anza Trail from Mexico. Lots of Spanish Catholic missions along the trail. I was more than happy to recommend this property to local Sahuarita residents with a post to our neighborhood community. We had our 14 yr. old one of the nights and she said it was so “aesthetically pleasing”. We enjoyed the pool, diving board and spa. We even enjoyed “Chewy” the automatic, super quiet and hard working lawnmower. Thank you for sharing your property with us!!!

Amazing Unique Opportunity
My wife and I attended a wedding nearby. We saw the treehouse online and thought it would be an adventure. This property is spectacular. All the comforts of home with the views and charm you can only get from a treehouse! Don’t miss this opportunity if you get the chance to book it!

Perfect 1-Yr Anniversary In a TreeHouse!
5-Star treehouse on a beautiful and secluded property. Incredible views from the porch and extremely cozy inside with everything you need. Fantastic place to stay if you are visiting Tubac or looking to get away!

Wonderful stay!
Our little prayer group has been getting together for over 40 years. This is a beautiful, peaceful property and we loved our stay. It was perfect for our group of older women having a special reunion. The owners were so kind, helpful and attentive with all of our questions and needs. They really went out of their way to help us. They are our new dear friends! We highly recommend the ranch. We will return!

Thanksgiving Holiday at the Ranch
This ranch home was amazing. We had family and friends join us for Thanksgiving, and everyone was in awe of how spacious and beautiful the ranch was. We look forward to a return visit.

Amazing property
Beautiful property with lots of room inside and out. Loved using the wood fireplace, jacuzzi and playing games in the huge backyard. Also enjoyed the wildlife, the spectacular views and sitting by the pool. Would definitely come again.

Awesome Home for Large Group
This home is amazing. The furniture alone is an experience worth exploring every day. Sherry was great about addressing any questions or needs we had. The house was very clean. The location is great for exploring the area. We were close to golf courses and had a wonderful time with friends and would definitely stay again.

Amazing!
This property is beautiful! We had our family stay here and were blown away by the beautiful house, the abundant space, and the hospitality of the hosts. This is literally the perfect place to get family together. We rented the treehouse too and it was so cool! The hosts were so accommodating and flexible with us and were super friendly! The pool, hot tub, beautiful views, and luxurious home just made our weekend perfect. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Unforgettable Experience!
We hosted my mom and her twin's 80th birthday get together, and the ranch made it absolutely unforgettable! We used the main house, treehouse and bunk house, and it was so perfect for our family, with some others staying at the resort, which by the way is just a short mile walk or bike away. From the moment I booked it through our stay, the hosts were so hospitable and a joy to work with, answering my many questions coming from family quickly, they even had suggestions as to area chefs, party rental places, etc. And the ranch...oh my gosh, so beautiful and in such an incredible setting with great views, cozy wood fireplaces that we used each night, a great pool deck (too cold to get in the pool but the hot tub got use) and the treehouse is a must-rent-so unique and so much fun. This is a place we will return to - our family is still thanking us for finding it, so thank you for making this absolute gem available for the rest of us to enjoy. As if you can't tell, we loved it!

Fabulous House
Did a girls’ weekend in Tubac with 10 girls and this was the perfect house! The host was extremely helpful and communicative prior to our arrival. The host showed is all around this lovely, absolutely charming house, full of beautiful antiques and lots of great spaces to enjoy our weekend. We are now planning a couples trip to the house, as it would also be perfect for couples.

Ranch house get-a-way
Beautiful Spanish ranch house wonderfully renovated. Very well outfitted for a small to medium sized group. Furnishings are unique, antique and eclectic. Property managers were communicative, helpful and proud of the property. We intend to visit again.

Can't wait to go back someday!
WOW. A beautiful and welcoming property perfect for a family gathering or reunion. We had a small wedding ceremony at the ranch with our family all staying in the ranch. It was a dream come true! Can't wait to go back for our anniversary in the future!

Our stay at the Shankle Ranch
Great property! It was everything we could have imagined and more. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and had 20 of our guests stay at the Shankle, 2 more at the Treehouse. In addition, we had an addition 26 guests come to the Shankle for the day for a "Field Day" competition. The lawn in the backyard was perfect for this, it was wonderful! Beautiful views, spacious, and yet very private. The antiques lovingly collected by the owners and all of the historical touches were amazing. This home is a must-see-stay. Thank you to the hosts for making this wonderful place available for all to enjoy.

Ultimate Peaceful Venue
We are a group of friends who have been meeting to meditate together for decades. This was clearly a favorite venue as it was remote and pastoral. The owner was incredibly responsive to any concerns or needs we had like additional kitchen items. We definitely plan to make this venue an annual gathering.
