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.
One-of-a-Kind Lodging at the Historic COD Ranch
COD Ranch’s main lodge has a sitting room with fireplace, piano, a landline phone, commercial kitchen, dining hall, and wi-fi access. This refurbished hacienda consists of 20 comfy casitas that reflect the old west and colonial Mexico. You’ll eat finger-lickin’-good meals prepared by a talented chef. We’ll do most of our writing in the historic, beautifully remodeled “Wilma’s Barn,” where you’ll also have wif-fi access.
The ranch itself is located 40 miles northeast of Tucson, Arizona between the 36,000 acre Coronado National Forest and a 6,000-acre state park and wildlife preserve.
Wi-Fi access is available in group areas. Cell phone service is mostly good for the four major carriers (Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T). If you need to stay reliably in touch by cell phone, please check with your carrier about coverage near Oracle, AZ 85623.
