The Inn at Rancho Sonora

My work pace is such that get-away time is a precious commodity. The Juanita cassita at The Inn at Rancho Sonora proved to be the ideal place for my bride of 36 years and I to pause, to savor the southwest beauty with open space, slowed cadence, and abundant wildlife. The grounds are spectacular in both natural beauty typical of the Sonoran cacti (largest saguaro cacti we've ever seen) as well as the owner-deployed (Linda) accents of Southwest art. It's clear that 20 years' of attention by Linda has enhanced this setting where the inspiring Superstition Mountains to the north are positioned to draw one's imagination of long-ago rugged ""holy places"" to the native peoples. Tranquility drapes the property; the mourning of the doves, the cries of the quail, the soaring hawks, all provide drama to the fragrant creosote and palo verde landscape. more

My husband and I have been searching for a SW Paradise for several years and we finally found it!! The beauty, nature, and peacefulness we discovered at the Rancho Sonora compares only to that of a beach house on the north shore of Oahu, HI. We stayed in the Ilsa Casita. The furnishings were beautiful & comfortable, and the setting was next to perfect. Hummingbirds regularly visited the orange blossoms outside our bedroom along with many other beautiful birds. The grounds are landscaped in true SW form, full of a large spectrum of cacti, along with palm trees scattered around the pool area. There are so many things to see nearby as well as nature activities and an assortment of restaurants. Next year we plan to stay for 2 weeks! Thank you Linda for offering so much at your Inn! more

My husband and I were looking for a place to stay near Florence because we were invited to a wedding at the Windmill Winery. I found the Inn at RS on-line. We had an awesome stay! The Inn was very clean and quiet. The desert landscape and wildlife were awesome! Along with Emma, Tilly and Little Cat, the Inn's two dogs and cat. Linda was very nice and helpful. We would definitely recommend the Inn and will stay there again for a relaxing desert getaway! more

Room are very clean, everything you need is here! We stayed in one of the rooms on the end and it is beautiful. Breakfast was simple yet filling, coffee had to be brewed by Linda again though. She does shut down breakfast before 10 and locks the door if she thinks you are Done having coffee which I did not like. Linda could have been more available to us a couple times but I guess we figured things out on our own. Pool is nice and we had it to ourselves two days in a row! Like our own private villa! We will definitely stay here again!! more

I drove by this place for years and never realized it was here. What a charming, quite and quaint place, so glad I finally found it! It's set back a little off the road which makes a great place for rendezvous :) Wonderful and very accommodating staff. more

This is peace! This is quiet! This is letting go of your hectic reality and just relaxing (remember that wonderful feeling). An alternative to staying in a chain and getting away from airport/city/work-work-work. Phoenix is less than 45 min away and Tuscon just an hour. So get the work done, finish those meetings and put your feet up....wi-fi if you must!\r Six rooms around a courtyard or one and two bedroom casitas with full kitchens and living areas. Yes, there's a pool, yes, there's a jacuzzi, yes, you can BBQ. more

An adorable surprise of an Inn in the middle of absolutely nowhere. I was doing a long-distance bike ride through AZ and booked a room here only b/c Florence seemed like a good stopping point before a full-day ride to Tucson. From the moment I rode up to the entrance of the courtyard, I was astounded. The courtyard has a tranquil appeal, complete with a water fountain to soothe what ails you. The room I was in (Dolores) was delightfully decorated and outfitted w/ the comfiest queen sized bed, TV, fridge, hairdryer, French soaps and shampoo, and vintage bedside reads. And in the morning, there was breakfast, during which Linda, the owner, offered me extra food to pack for my ride to Tucson. What a treat to have found this place. This would be the perfect place to take a quiet long weekend escape from the hustle of life and read, write, breathe and just be still. I intend to come back soon. more

Beautiful & friendly! Feels like you are in an oasis.\r more

This is our home away from home!\r If you ever come near this area, you will not regret staying at the Rancho Sonora.\r \r It is a nice place to get together with a family and can accommodate a large group of people.\r \r We love staying at their casita, a self standing house. Everything is super clean and tastefully decorated. We stayed twice at Casita-Ilsa. The Ilsa has a full kitchen with a eat-inn counter, TV room, a comfortable bed and large bath tub.\r \r There are also affordable motel rooms which are very charming.\r They also have jacuzzi and pool.\r \r My father in-law stays at RV park for winter. He loves the community.\r I love going there to see him, thanks to the comfortable and welcoming environment they provide there. more

If you want to get off the grid and really relax what a cool place. It offers options from nice rooms to casitas with multiple bedrooms/bathrooms and a full kitchen. There is no restaurant on the property, but a nice pool, wifi, etc. more

The most relaxing bed and breakfast in Southern Arizona. Linda, the owner, is wonderful. She really goes out of her way to make sure you have a comfortable stay. And her dogs are charming too. You get so much more than what you pay for. The breakfast is technically a continental breakfast, but it really leaves you satisfied - yogurt, toast, fruit, juice, coffee, cereal, oatmeal, all kinds of good stuff. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spotless. My favorite feature is the pool area - a two person hammock, spa with a little waterfall, and a grill that guests can use for BBQs. Lovely place to get away for a night or two...and really feel like you took a vacation. more

This is a fantastic B&B; the rooms are clean and beautiful, the breakfast is great and the beds are SO comfortable. We found this place on the internet, and I'm so glad we did. We don't often go to this part of AZ, but when we do, we will definitely stay here again. We were there for 4 nights while at a family reunion. more
