The Rex Ranch, the premier Arizona resort vacation getaway. Our ranch is a four generation labor of love and passion for setting our own course and creating a community business focused on health and education, inclusivity and commitment. It is also the romantic and practical vision of the family which now shares The Rex Ranch with its history. All who have felt the beauty of this place have a perception of this history and the legacy which is now blossoming as The Rex Ranch. Metates and pot shards tell us that Hohokam, ancient people inhabited, farmed and herded here.
Mexican history records the exploration and settlement of Spanish colonists and ranchers.
In this Santa Cruz Valley which proclaims itself a geographic outpost of the tropical south and a trade route for centuries. The wealth of this past continues to bring to those who visit today a sense of sanctuary. A place where visitors breathe deeply as they look at the sunsets, the stars or the approaching tropical rain storms from horseback, from the stone viewing benches or the porches and patios protecting each room. It is with this breath that The Rex Ranch offers the gift of time and community for each person who ventures across the Santa Cruz to sleep in the adobe lodgings, eat in the Cantina Romantica or rejuvenate in Cielo Health Spa. The Rex Ranch is owned and staffed by family members who live and work together, and have learned to handle stress creatively in their daily living.
