The announcement marks the latest phase in the Stewarts’ management of Wrangler’s Roost, which has welcomed visitors and guests for nearly two decades. The owners are continuing to evaluate the property’s facilities and guest areas while maintaining structures and features associated with its history.
Wrangler’s Roost is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural and historical significance. The property traces its origins to the late 1800s, when it operated as a stagecoach stop for travelers passing through New River, Arizona. A natural spring on the property provided a water source for travelers and members of the surrounding community.
During the 1930s, Carl Jesse Myers, known as “Chief Myers,” developed the property into a dude ranch. The original rock structure was expanded, and the property later operated as a resort with guest accommodations, a restaurant, a swimming pool, and other facilities.
Historic features remaining on the property include the original entrance, stone pathways, a river rock water canal, and a historic jailhouse. These elements continue to be maintained as the property accommodates scheduled gatherings and visitors.
The current development efforts include improvements to guest areas and facilities used for gatherings. The work is being carried out without removing the historic structures and physical features that reflect the property’s development from a stagecoach stop to a dude ranch and resort.
Reid and Heidi Stewart plan to continue expanding the use of Wrangler’s Roost while maintaining the property’s historic structures and evaluating future improvements to its guest facilities.
