And the thing about Stables is that it's not just one thing. It's the combination of elements that come together: the fine spirits, the incredible view of the Santa Rita mountains over the cottonwoods on the Santa Cruz River, the excellent, the fire on crisp nights, the nesting owls, the golfers trying their best to hit that little ball over the pond, the moon, the stars, just EVERYTHING! We are so grateful to be at Stables.
