Where families come together
Sprucedale Guest Ranch is a glimpse of heaven on earth. This family-owned, working ranch provides all the ingredients for good old-fashioned family time. Pull-on your boots and mount a horse for a thrilling ride through pine-covered mountains flowing with trout-filled streams. Gather your children and friends to play games, learn a new western dance, and sing around the bonfire as you roast marshmallows and swap stories. When the dinner bell rings, come sit together to home-cooked, country-style meals that make you smile inside and out. And when you’re finally worn out from having fun, and your belly is full, circle the chairs on your cabin porch, stretch out your legs, and watch a million stars flicker their approval on the day you spent reconnecting with those you love. Welcome to Sprucedale!

History
Sprucedale is the oldest continually run ranch in Arizona! The Ranch was homestead around 1906 and the first guests were a couple of fishermen looking to get out of the rain and that is how Sprucedale began. The Wiltbank family bought the Ranch in 1941 and it has been in the family ever since. It is now a fourth generation ranch.
