We had an incredible experience! Kendace was an amazing guide and instructor. She was friendly,…read moreprofessional, incredibly knowledgeable, and communicated everything clearly, making us feel comfortable from start to finish. The ranch is absolutely beautiful, and the horses are well cared for and wonderful to ride. One of our favorite parts was the tour through the little Western town--it was such a unique experience and really brought the area's history to life. You can tell this land is full of rich history and has been cared for with pride. This experience exceeded our expectations, and we absolutely got our money's worth. If you're looking for an authentic Arizona adventure with great people, beautiful horses, and fascinating history, I highly recommend visiting. We can't wait to come back!

Great experience! Our guide Bob was so informative and fun…read more You can't ask for better scenery!

I've stayed at the Sonoran Desert Inn several times for retreats and each stay has been a treat…read more I won't lie, I was a little traumatized when I noticed there were no TVs in the rooms the first time I stayed there lol but being forced to unplug was actually wonderful. The setting itself is really lovely; an old school with an interior courtyard, turned into simple but warm rooms to stay at. Every time the rooms have been impeccably clean and I love that you just use a code to get in and out. The javelina pillow on the bed is also so comforting and cute! The gift shop is fantastic if you want to support local makers and get some unique gifts for yourself or others, many with a strong emphasis on the Sonoran Desert. Every gift I've purchased here has been a huge hit with the recipients. And the staff? Lovely. All of them are friendly and attentive, even the 4-legged one! These folks genuinely seem to enjoy where they work and get along with their coworkers. The one hit or miss with this place is the food. I've had some great meals and I've had some lackluster ones. But I appreciate the complimentary daily brewed coffee from Curley's from 7-11am (I think those are the hours!). And if you prefer something a little fancier, then visit Curley's, a 2 minute walk around the corner, and while you're there, treat yourself to one of their delicious pastries.

This is such a unique place to stay. A converted elementary school, I'm sure it's not for everyone…read more I love the courtyard and the pop-up meals in the cafeteria. Curley's coffee is phenomenal! Ajo is such an interesting town and this place is perfect.
