My mother and I stayed here for 2 days and we enjoyed the quiet grounds and ranch/desert atmosphere. The room was clean and cozy and the parking was easy and there were some good breakfast options nearby. We would stay here again.

An oasis of an interesting and expansive restored historic property. While our original room choice was unavailable at check-in due to unfortunate hail damage the previous night, the manager was so friendly and accommodating in letting us move to a unit more to our liking on night 2. A wonderful stay and I wish I had realized I had a friend that lives directly adjacent to the property.

Very cool place. The compound is large and nice to walk around and hang out. Unfortunately it was very cold during our stay, so we couldn't enjoy the outside as much. The room was cozy and kept us warm.

An absolutely wonderful stay at El Rancho Robles! A beautiful property with so many charming little areas to explore. We loved the casita was perfect and I only wish our travel plans allowed us to stay longer! Every single staff member we ran into was so friendly and welcoming and I love how dog friendly they are. During the day, we enjoyed a wonderful hike in the Oracle State Park which was just a short 5-10 minute drive away.

The air conditioning in the room could be improved on. Love the historic aspects and walks around the property of the former early to mid-1900s dude ranch.

Our stay was amazing ! What a hidden gem ! Very peaceful and serene for my husband and I and we would definitely be back when visiting Oracle. It would also be a great place for a family reunion, wedding or party as the grounds were beautiful . We had a family group in town for an event and it was so nice to be able to hang out in between our family gatherings .

Nice property and very scenic grounds. The town itself was very small and not really much to do. Biosphere 2 is just a few miles down the road. Nice and quiet. No TV but who cares?
