About this house rental

The Historic Shankle Ranch, including an airstrip and hanger for their Stearman J-5 and Lockheed Sirus, was built in 1930 by Dutch & Joan Shankle, both prominent national aviators and in the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame. While the airstrip, hanger, and planes are gone, what remains is a serene, beautiful, gated historic ranch home with gorgeous views of Mt. Wrightston, hiking and birding along the Santa Cruz River, minutes from spas, golf, tennis, and the Historic Village of Tubac, AZ “Where Art & History Meet", and 2021 and 2022 winner of USA Today 10Best "Best Small Town Arts Scene". Tubac offers numerous art galleries, quaint shops, fantastic restaurants, live music, and an opportunity to explore the history of Southern Arizona at the Tubac Presidio State Historic Park and the Tumacacori National Historic Park.

One of the loveliest places I've ever stayed (and I've traveled worldwide). This was for a girls' getaway birthday party and there was so much room for eight of us to spread out. The views were magical, cleanliness impeccable, beds comfortable, kitchen fully equipped, hosts accommodating...what more can I say other than I wish we'd stayed longer.

We stayed at Shankle with all the extended family in tow, and ended up with all three properties on site for a nearby wedding. It was perfect! Enough room to prepare food, socialize, relax, enjoy, and the view was amazing! We fell in love with the property and would recommend it highly.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2023
The house was very nice and beautiful. The furnishings were beautiful. Some of the appliances are not good quality like coffee maker or it could also be the filters were too small and you got grounds in your coffee. The toaster did not work. No TV service for news or local channels. With what they are charging they could have TV service. Flies were horrible just be aware. You pretty much can not sit outside with a glass of anything or eat outside.
