Scrumptious Meals with a Desert View
All meals will be served in the C.O.D. Main Lodge Dining Room. Vegetarian options will be available at every meal. The ranch was awarded the highest rating available (“Excellent”) by Pinal County’s Environmental and Public Health Services Specialists. Based on our past experience at C.O.D. Ranch, we guarantee you’ll love this chef’s delicious cooking. All meals are served buffet style in the dining room in front of windows that look out on a gorgeous desert view.
Note: If you have special dietary needs, please let us know. There are no stores to purchase food or snacks within walking distance of the ranch. If necessary, you should buy any special food you need or would like to have on hand before arriving. You will have access to refrigerate special food, if needed. You can also drive to a grocery store in Oracle, Arizona, if necessary.
