Looking for an opportunity to unwind and escape into paradise? You don’t need to plan a trip to an exotic locale! Arizona is home to some lovely bed and breakfast inns, glampgrounds, and resorts, and some pretty amazing guest ranches, also known as dude ranches. Today, we’re going to take a look at one guest ranch that is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway.

This is El Rancho Robles Guest Ranch, a historic ranch in Oracle that sits near the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains.

The guest ranch first opened in 1930, during a time when Westerns were gaining popularity and showing off the beauty of the West.

While many other ranches showed off a romanticized vision of a working ranch, El Rancho Robles focused on relaxation and being able to fully embrace the natural surroundings.
