Small Non-Commercial Facility Operated by Pam and Louis Mindes Since 1995

Located approximately 10 acres to the west unit of Saguaro National Park, Rocking M Ranch is a perfect site for nature lovers, hikers, and horseback riders. When you stay with us, you can trail into the park accesses right from the property. Our lodging is only a short distance from the freeway, so you can easily access the city of Tucson, Town of Marana, and Oro Valley. We are also close to shopping, golf, and other visitor attractions.


Your hosts are full service real estate agents with over 30 years experience.
