Summary: Our group has gathered at Shankle Ranch a number of times now, because it is amazing. It's difficult to put the gracious, gentle, relaxed beauty of the place into words. The hosts, Sherry and Sarah, are the epitome of genuine kindness and hospitality, and the land, sky, and guest ranch itself are absolutely gorgeous. It is a healing place to be.

Summary: We were looking for a place to bring in family for our mom's 80th birthday. We wanted something with character and more than just a house. This ranch has history and charm and is the perfect place to get away, relax and explore. Sherry and Sarah are great hosts and they take great pride in their property. This isn't just a rental to them, it is a place they love and want to share the history and experience with everyone that stays there.

Summary: The Historic Shankle Ranch house is awesome. It has great character and worked very well for our family group (12 persons total) in celebrating multiple birthdays. We enjoyed the country-type setting, the spacious living room, very nice areas outside, and the fireplaces (with firewood included). The host was very easy to work with. We enjoyed our stay immensely and highly recommend this property.

Summary: Host met us at the property and gave us a full tour. Property lacks nothing. Great retreat for the family while attending a wedding celebration in Tubac. Views are stunning. We saw deer and a bobcat! My favorite memory will be early morning sitting in the great room with the fireplace roaring, a good book and a hot cup of coffee.

Summary: We rented the Shankle Ranch property for our wedding weekend, hosting only close family and friends. The property was a perfect home base, close to the venue Agua Linda Farm and Tubac shops & restaurants. Everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway was included and the hosts were friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Summary: This property is SO special! We loved every minute of our time there. The owner was wonderful and took time to tell us about the property. We walked around the large ranch with a pond and enjoyed the pool and hot tub, watched the sunrise over the mountains. There was a deer and her 2 fawns that would visit each day.
