Location: at the far end of a road in the Sonoran Desert. Residential area, near a local park. Saguaro cactus everywhere. Can’t beat the location if you love the desert environment. B&B: First glance, stunning… but room was a little ‘rough’…shower looks like it needs to be re-tiled and they are a bit stingy with towels, though they do provide ‘pool’ towels. The bed was so tall you needed a step stool to get into it(and I’m not short). Sheets were SUPERAMAZINGLY soft… best part of the room. Our room was directly off the pool patio and the air conditioning compressors were under the windows… all three or four of them. I was actually hoping there would be no AC(not needed in April) so we could just hear the quiet of the desert. Pool: The pool was cold, but hot tub was warm… though in the daylight(after we too a hot tub) the water looked very cloudy and off-color with a fair amount of sediments in the bottom… eeeww. I must add that the pool patio/deck was very spacious and there were several seating options around the property. Breakfast: We forgot to notify the Debby that we did not eat meat, but unlike other places, we were not asked. I also wasn’t too thrilled with the Pillsbury cinnamon roll… and wished I had eaten more yogurt and granola(had I known). The owners are new and maybe they are just getting their feet under them and learning the tricks of the trade. Sounded like the place was a bit of a disaster when they purchased it last fall. If you are looking for a quiet place to lounge by a pool without a million kids or other people in the desert, this might be the place for you.

The Full Circle Ranch is situated in a lovely area. The rooms are kept meticulously clean. The breakfasts are good though on the sweet side. I found them adequate but for those with a heartier appetite, they may not be enough. The Ranch’s setting is in a beautiful, quiet area which makes it perfect for a relaxing stay. The B& B owners are not on sight and have hired Sherri S. to run it. If you are expecting a true B & B experience, this is not what you will get. Congeniality is found among the guests who are staying at the Ranch but don’t expect much effort from the Inn Keeper. The website for the Full Circle Ranch was not correct in that there was not concierge service, special dietary requests were met with«don’t eat it». To use the hot tub, you must provide 2 hours of lead time or you will not be able to use it. There are many rules to follow as Sherri runs a «tight ship.» We are low maintenance guests and found that even the smallest requests were met with resistance and were clearly an inconvenience. This place has the potential to be a real gem with a lot of improvement in the hospitality area.

Everything about this place was great! The innkeeper Sherry was awesome, the breakfast was terrific, and the scenery was stunning! I highly recommend this B&B!
