Bertha left a sweet birthday card on our bed, and Sherry in the gift shop was so much fun to talk to! 2- We had only visited the bottom of the lodge 4-5 times. This was our first overnight stay. The suite on the 3rd floor was so beautiful with lots of touches to make it feel like home. Kudos to the owner, Diane Osborne, for her talent as an architect and designer. The details show her labor of love. This is not a "chain" hotel. 3- We had a few items in our room that were not cleaned, hair in the shower drain and false eyelashes left stuck on a bedside lamp. Kind of gross. However, Diane came up to our room quickly and first offered to switch us to an upscale suite. We had settled in and did not want to move our bags and food, etc to another room. Then she graciously offered to comp the room. 4-There were numerous apologies from Ken at the front desk, Diane and her husband John. We had the pleasure of talking to both of the owners and learn about their connection to the mountain going back 3 generations! Ask them about their history! 5-I highly recommend booking a stay here. Bring some of your own food or enjoy Beyond Bread, The Cookie Cabin (pizza), The Sawmill restaurant or the Iron Door restaurant on certain days. We will be back! Thank you John and Diane! Eric and Connie Nelson PS- take the stairs at least 1 time to see the beautiful photos throughout the stairwell. Such a nice surprise!

First Impressions:…read more Very clean, fun, and just vibrant. Interactions: The interactions were good, I think we spoke to the owner, and nice elder lady who was very welcoming and nice. Service: The service was good, they were very welcoming and accommodating as best as possible. Stay: The entire hotel feels so homey (if that's even a word LOL). Our hotel felt so luxurious but also felt like a piece of home. Very clean, and the views were AMAZING! We spent a good time on the patio area out front of the hotel on the deck and even on the side of the hotel. The hotel is lodged at Mt. Lemmon at 8,000+. Sitting in a small little town if you call it. Food: We didn't have food from the hotel outside of beyond bread which is just the restaurant inside the hotel. Happened to be my first time to beyond bread and what a good way to start! Value: This trip was booked for us from my significant other's parents as a fun get-away. Based on my research, the prices for staying here are very fair considering where you are. Recommendation: If you love being in the mountains and want a getaway, this is the place to be. There are a numerous amount of things to do in terms of outdoors, or even walking around to the limited amount of stores that are available. The only issue (which really isn't), is a lot of stores close by 4:30/6pm or sooner.

I just stayed at Cherry Valley for a few days for the Tucson Marathon, and I can't recommend it…read morehighly enough. The desert hills in the area are incredibly beautiful, and since the ranch is 100 acres, it feels almost completely undeveloped while you're staying there. The house also has gorgeous views of the surrounding hills. The rooms are well-decorated, very clean, and have a personal feeling and charm that you can't get in a hotel or motel. I stayed in the Manzanita room and found everything very comfortable and spacious. Finally, the owner is very warm and friendly. She made me breakfast just how I wanted it, gave me aloe for my race-induced blisters, and was generally wonderful company for the relatively little time I spent out in the living room. She was also very welcoming when I arrived despite it being 1:45 in the morning due to a delayed flight and getting a little lost on the way. Note: The front gate has a pretty small sign that can be easy to miss at night, but it's right across from a prominent sign at the entrance to Oracle State Park.

Finally my wife and I had a chance to be guests of the Cherry Valley Ranch. The day was perfect as one of the frequent monsoons had passed by and left the temperature of the Ranch in the low daytime 80s and quite a bit cooler at night. We stayed in one of the Casitas' for a night and enjoyed the peaceful valley and cool night temperatures. The breakfast was a very delightful mix of Mexican dishes and fruit prepaired by a local chef. As for the accommodations I suggest that there are times when not having TV, WIFI and other amenities are just what a stress releasing weekend is all about. Loved the place

They offer pretty good breakfast options, including a made-to-order omelette station. I wish their breakfast ended at 10:00 a.m. like other Embassy Suites... must be a regional thing. The room was clean, modern, and very well decorated. The AC was super cold, which was perfect for the Arizona heat. The room also has ceiling fans for extra cooling. The evening reception is a big plus. You get two free drinks, some snacks, and can watch sports at the bar. Great atmosphere and good drinks. I will probably book this hotel again for my next business trip--I had a good experience and the location is perfect.

What a find! Historic cabins on an art ranch - so different from the usual sterile hotel…read moreenvironment, but with artistic and modern comfort! It's a unique way to fill your soul with the beauty of the high desert and uplifting art. It combines stand-alone cabins from another era with an adjacent outdoor sculpture park and art gallery - one of a kind accommodations with a one of a kind experience. We stayed in the bunkhouse and the cabin on our recent girls' trip. You might wonder if you made the right choice when you turn onto the dirt road to the ranch, but this is the true old west without paved roads. Funny how much your heart responds to leaving asphalt behind! I stayed in the original ranch bunkhouse built of adobe mud in the 1880's, restored now with modern comforts. The Old West vibe is still there but so is air conditioning, a comfy king-sized bed, small kitchen, and, of course, plumbing. Also present is the all-important WIFI. The bedside lamps even have USB ports to charge your phones while you sleep. It hits just the right balance of old, quaint, artistic and unobtrusively modern. There's a small couch, rocking chair, and large screened-in porch and more. I don't know how the original occupants kept it, but it was immaculate (this aspect earned high marks by us all). We were busy on this trip supporting our runner in an ultramarathon up nearby Mount Lemmon so we didn't get to enjoy all the many special touches as much as we wanted to such as the many outdoor cozy seating spots under trees. We also wish we'd had time to get to know my neighbors behind the bunkhouse - a couple of quiet but curious goats. Throughout our stay, we didn't hear them nor anyone else staying there. It was like having our own little getaway in the high desert. The Triangle L is also an Art Ranch. The Sculpture Park alone is not to be missed! It would be worth the trip in itself and made a big impression on us even though we did not have time to explore it all. Some sculptures even have special night lighting. You could spend hours here appreciating it as you walk along its path, which lends its own sculptures of uniquely-shaped, high desert cacti. If interested , we recommend checking out the web site for a preview and look for the many special events. They just opened up a "Metal" exhibit in the old adobe barn converted into an Art Gallery and Gift Shop. The Triangle L is located in Oracle - a small town that we found to be full of traditional small town friendliness from its unique restaurants to its shops selling their own art and jewelry pieces. We learned why the new looking Nonna Maria's has been in business for 25+ years - their marinara and pizza are outstanding. I had a great turkey and avocado croissant sandwich at the Patio Cafe and their adjacent Market sells all kinds of baked goods, including more types of pies than I've ever seen before. We enjoyed breakfast at Casa Rivera's but we ran out of time before we got to try the Riot Grill, which we'd also heard good things about. Most restaurants here are owner-operated so be sure to check their hours before going. Oracle is about 2 hours from Phoenix and only 1 hour from Tucson. It sits in the high desert so offers somewhat cooler weather than both of them. There are many nearby trails for hiking besides those our runner was doing in the Desert Peak Ultramarathon event, including those in Oracle State Park. There is also access to the Arizona National Scenic Trail (AZT). We met lots of cyclists as well. In between supporting our runner at the aid stations, I also made a trip to the nearby Biosphere 2. It is also worth a trip. It was created as a completely sealed off ecological system to test out what would be needed to build independent self-contained stations capable of life for future space colonization. In the 90's, 8 scientists were sealed in it along with various plants and animals for 2 years. Now, it functions as an ecological research station. The scope is amazing. For instance, I walked through its rainforest, complete with waterfall and tall tree canopy and even saw its small ocean. So much technology is needed to support it - we have much to learn before space life is possible. The tour is self-guided by well-done videos through an app but there are three additional guided tours. Note: there are some parts that can only be accessed by stairs. OK, I got a little carried away with this review of the Triangle L Ranch. The Triangle L Ranch and Art Ranch seems to be a well-kept secret that I just didn't want people to miss. It and the surrounding area really struck a chord with us. Also, our hostess (and resident artist) went above and beyond for us, accommodating our changing reservations and our late arrival with an inventive sign to help point us to our cabins. We certainly hope we get to meet her sometime as we definitely hope to come back - if it isn't booked for years in advance once the word gets out.

However, I was disappointed to find there was a $23 parking fee - especially since the lot was very tight and also being used for two nearby events. That made parking a bit frustrating. We had dinner at the hotel lounge before the show. My friend and I split the fajitas (ordered steak but received chicken). For $30, they were just okay and definitely overpriced. On the bright side, the service was great, and the prickly pear margaritas were strong and delicious! Our room was very comfortable - plenty of pillows and blankets, convenient plug-ins, and even a night-light in the bathroom. A few small issues: the vanity mirror lights didn't work, and the body wash dispenser in the shower was empty. Otherwise, it was a very nice, clean, and cozy room. Breakfast the next morning at the hotel restaurant was excellent! Kim was a fantastic server, and the traditional breakfast for $17 (2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast, so many crispy fried potatoes, and 3 strips of bacon) was high quality and served as a generous portion - I couldn't even finish half! Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.

I've been taking some time to decide if this hotel was more of a two-star or three. I've decided to…read morego with two. Let me make my case. A first glance this hotel looks so modern and new that I would be giving it five stars. Plus, the employees I interacted were so nice and helpful. I get into my room, everything looks fine. Then I get ready to take a shower and I notice a soaking wet wash rag (pictured with my review) sitting on the shower nob. That definitely made me question if the shower was cleaned. Then I saw long strands of black hair and I was pretty sure it wasn't. I probably should have asked to switch rooms but I was exhausted and feeling under the weather and didn't feel like dealing with it. Something else I noticed was that this hotel uses specialized sensors to detect vaping in rooms. I think this is great and shows care for their staff. However, I read a review where a woman claimed that blowdrying her hair led to a false positive result for vaping and she was charged $500. This made me paranoid because since I was sick, I decided it was best to not fall asleep With damp hair, so I hesitantly used the hotel provided dryer. Lastly, having something this high tech would lead me to believe that they are tech forward but they are not. There was no available outlet by my beds. The charging ports were all antiquated USB-A, which I haven't used in years. You can at least provide a normal outlet if you're not going to provide USB-C ports.
