Travellers describe El Rancho Robles as a peaceful, historic ranch property with beautiful, expansive grounds, friendly and accommodating staff, and generally clean, cozy lodgings, inviting guests to unplug rather than rely on in-room entertainment like TVs.
Rooms are rustic and comfortable, often without televisions, and a few guests noted heat or air conditioning quirks in certain units. The property hosts weddings and has a pool, with stargazing a common highlight. It’s somewhat remote, convenient for Biosphere 2 and Oracle State Park, though dining nearby can be limited. Best suited to travelers who value character and a relaxed, low-key stay.

Our stay was amazing ! What a hidden gem ! Very peaceful and serene for my husband and I and we would definitely be back when visiting Oracle. It would also be a great place for a family reunion, wedding or party as the grounds were beautiful . We had a family group in town for an event and it was so nice to be able to hang out in between our family gatherings .

An absolutely wonderful stay at El Rancho Robles! A beautiful property with so many charming little areas to explore. We loved the casita was perfect and I only wish our travel plans allowed us to stay longer! Every single staff member we ran into was so friendly and welcoming and I love how dog friendly they are. During the day, we enjoyed a wonderful hike in the Oracle State Park which was just a short 5-10 minute drive away.

Room was rustic but nice, clean. The grounds are beautiful and well maintaned. The pool looked new. It's a big property, take a stroll around and enjoy. Would be a good venue for wedding or large party. The rooms are all re-purposed from the olden days of being a dude ranch. Our room was in the old stables! Note: no TV, but has wifi. Doesn't matter, leave it all off, this is where you come to unplug.

The keypad on the door to stable #9 is sensitive. We were pressing too hard and had difficulty getting in as a result. The staff rescued us, nice people. Other than a bad switch on a small table lamp in small bedroom it was perfect. Very charming and quiet! Love the decor, great towels, comfy beds a nite light in bathroom, thank you! VERY CLEAN!!!! I believe the new owner in process of a major renovation. I would suggest mini split AC’s or just fresh air if temp allows. Oracle in middle of nowhere but after a day of driving up to Mt Lemmon it was a nice landing spot. Not a lot of dining options but we found the Ore House Tavern a few minutes down the road and listened to a great band, great food and awesome people watching. We sat out and watched the meteor showers. Great little weekend getaway ranch!

Room was very clean. The heating in our room was poor- a small space heater with very little control over the temperature. Friends in other rooms had better heating, may have just been our room stable 12. Excellent taco food truck on Friday night.

The room cooling unit became disconnected from the units exhaust system which was loosely connected to a wall. I woke up to machine disconnected to exhaust system and was over heating. It was very scary because the unit had been blowing hot exhaust air into the main bedroom. Really, no tv in room.

An oasis of an interesting and expansive restored historic property. While our original room choice was unavailable at check-in due to unfortunate hail damage the previous night, the manager was so friendly and accommodating in letting us move to a unit more to our liking on night 2. A wonderful stay and I wish I had realized I had a friend that lives directly adjacent to the property.

Oracle in middle of nowhere but after a day of driving up to Mt Lemmon it was a nice landing spot. Not a lot of dining options but we found the Ore House Tavern a few minutes down the road and listened to a great band, great food and awesome people watching. We sat out and watched the meteor showers. Great little weekend getaway ranch!
The keypad on the door to stable #9 is sensitive. We were pressing too hard and had difficulty getting in as a result. The staff rescued us, nice people. Other than a bad switch on a small table lamp in small bedroom it was perfect. Very charming and quiet! Love the decor, great towels, comfy beds a nite light in bathroom, thank you! VERY CLEAN!!!! I believe the new owner in process of a major renovation. I would suggest mini split AC’s or just fresh air if temp allows.

This ranch is a wonderful place to go for a getaway. The property is so beautiful and is very peaceful. There are no TV's in the rooms which is fine. It was nice to just relax, go for a walk and enjoy conversing with one another. We also had a nice dinner at an Italian restaurant close by.

My mother and I stayed here for 2 days and we enjoyed the quiet grounds and ranch/desert atmosphere. The room was clean and cozy and the parking was easy and there were some good breakfast options nearby. We would stay here again.

We came apon El Rancho Robles by mistake but it was an amazing adventure. It is a beautiful geam in Oracle AZ. Drew is the best adventure tour guide in the southwest. Carol's hospitality is unmatched. Check out advenure AZ. Rice Peak, Oracle State Park, Ore House for lunch and weekend live music, The Way of Bean for coffee and breakfast. If you want to just get away, this is the place

Room was very clean. The heating in our room was poor- a small space heater with very little control over the temperature. Friends in other rooms had better heating, may have just been our room stable 12. Excellent taco food truck on Friday night.

The property is lovely. We stayed in the Chief House and it was comfortable. We also brought our old dog and he loved it.
