Located on five tranquil acres within the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, this Sierra Vista hotel combines natural immersion with comfortable amenities. The Lazy Dog Ranch features a guest house called 'Casita' near the pool, offering 500 square feet of living space with a private bath and oversized shower. A poolside breakfast room serves continental breakfast with fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, home-baked treats, muffins, and freshly-squeezed orange juice.
