Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch

On the banks of Saguaro Lake in the Tonto National Forest, just outside Gold Canyon and within easy reach of Mesa. You’re a stone’s throw from Saguaro Lake and a short drive to Usery Mountain Regional Park and Lost Dutchman State Park.

A historic ranch property with a mix of rustic cabins and lodge rooms dressed in traditional Western décor — think wagon‑wheel lights and a stone fireplace in the main lodge. Cabins have private bathrooms and an unplugged, back-to-nature vibe, while some lodge rooms offer air conditioning and private balconies or patios.

Outdoor pool with views of the Goldfield Mountains, terrace and garden, library, ping‑pong and an arcade/game room, plus a kids’ playroom and gift shop. Free parking and guest transfers make arrival easy. Seasonal outdoor activities include guided horseback riding (mid‑Oct to early May), kayaking and river tubing (May to Oct), and year‑round hiking and bird watching — wake up to river-breeze mornings and desert light.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property — convenient for light work, planning outdoor excursions, or checking in.

A complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM in the dining room (decor features a real Saguaro skeleton), with coffee and tea available in the common area to kickstart your day.
