Property HSD5109, Holiday Bed and Breakfast for rental in Pearce, Arizona, USA

At an elevation of 5,000 ft. (1,500m), the ranch buildings, nestled among plentiful groves of Arizona oak, manzanita, and mesquite, are almost invisible in the wooded canyon where wild grapevines growing at the back give the ranch its name.

Grapevine is famous for its riding program. Guests have several options for riding, with a varied seven-day-a-week program and rotating destinations. Monday through Saturday, the schedule offers four rides: a morning trail ride, an advanced ride, an all-day ride, and an afternoon trail ride. On Sunday, the trail and the advanced ride converge at the cattle ranch headquarters for a cookout under the trees before heading "home." Group lessons are available Tuesday through Saturday mornings before the regular rides, as part of the overall riding program. This allows guests new to the saddle or those having been away from horses for years an opportunity to get some tips and hints before setting off for the morning. Private lessons are scheduled on an as-requested basis (additional cost involved). For people wanting to learn more about horsemanship and horse ownership, Grapevine Canyon Ranch offers a week long Horse Camp.

Grapevine has been welcoming guests, year-round, for nearly twenty years - and has developed a philosophy of providing personal attention to each guest. Guests are welcomed as part of the ranch family, and feelings of safety, comfort, and timelessness are nurtured. The valley, canyons, and mountains surrounding Grapevine are rich in history - Cochise, Geronimo, outlaws, the cavalry, early settlers - and the staff is well versed in local culture and color. The kitchen staff is excellent, with years of experience and a culinary degree among them to their credit. Breakfast is cooked to order, while lunch and dinner are served buffet-style. The menu rotates over six weeks, and all meals are mouthwateringly delicious. Helpings are generous and seconds and thirds encouraged. Desserts are homemade - including uniquely-flavored ice creams. Guests and staff dine together, furthering the Grapevine philosophy of personal attention guests come back for time and again. There is a pool and a hot tub, but no lifeguard is on duty. Ping-pong and pool tables are available, as are card games and an extensive video library.

The guest accommodations are cozily-appointed and fresh, virtually sparkling in appearance. Grapevines housekeeping staff prides itself on cleanliness, winning the daily battle to keep the desert sand outside the cabins and casitas. The wranglers are all knowledgeable horse people from a variety of disciplines, and the majority of the entire staff does ride. Grapevines riding instructor has both public and private teaching experience with riders of all levels. Lucky to have a singing cowboy, the ranch invites guests to enjoy live country music and dancing each week.
