The Birth of Solana Guest Ranch

We have received a lot of positive feedback from our guests. Because of this, we decided to expand. We bought the nearby historic farrier school and calf-roping ranch. This newly unified property—now over 11 acres of desert beauty—will be home to our Solana Guest Ranch expansion, opening in 2026.

The additional land allows us to offer even more unique lodging options and amenities for larger Tucson wellness retreats, corporate offsites, family reunions, and group events. We’re excited to welcome guests looking for a Tucson private estate rental that blends wide-open space, rustic elegance, and true hospitality.

What’s Coming to Solana Ranch?

Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect as Solana Guest Ranch comes to life:

  • Luxury Conestoga Wagons with full bathrooms, king bed + bunks, A/C, heating, and power
  • A restored Hacienda Clubhouse with indoor gathering spaces, chef kitchen, and shaded patios
  • A restored Cowboy Bunkhouse Villa and large Hawk’s Nest Courtyard for outdoor gathering
  • Additional villa-style and wagon lodging to support over 100+ overnight guests at Solana

Designed for Connection, Relaxation, and Impact

What makes Solana different from other Tucson guest ranches or Tanque Verde vacation rentals is our personalized approach. We’re not a mega-resort. We’re not a hotel. We’re a curated, privately managed estate that treats every guest like family.

With our wellness and corporate retreat options, we provide organizers with tools to create amazing experiences. – You can choose your own lodging configuration.

  • Catered and prepared food and drink packages for retreats.
  • Transportation services to and from the Tucson International Airport
  • The setting is peaceful and away from the chaos of the world.

From Tour de Tucson lodging for endurance athletes to private desert escapes near La Mariposa and Tanque Verde Ranch, Solana is rapidly becoming the go-to venue for those who want authenticity, style, and space—all at a great value.

We’ve already opened 2026 pre-bookings for group stays, yoga instructors, retreat hosts, and corporate teams. Villas are booking over a year in advance. With the expansion, interest is growing fast. We invite you to ask early to reserve your space.
