Peaceful and Beautiful Tucson

Fantastic location in the Tanque Verde area. Close to Saguaro NP East, Sabino Canyon and the Catalina Highway drive to Mt. Lemmon. Still less than an hour to Saguaro NP West. Easy to get around. Great for our hiking adventures. Quiet neighborhood. Perfect backyard with stunning Mountain Views. Super clean house with everything you need. Comfortable beds. Great hot showers. Super large and comfy sectional to relax on in the living room. Awesome outdoor space, including fire pit and grill with large outdoor table. Huge kitchen with pretty much anything you need readily available. Would be fantastic for a family or group of friends. Great communication with friendly hosts. I would definitely stay here again if coming to Tucson.

This place checked all our boxes.

First, we needed space for our little pups to play and they had a blast in the expansive back yard. Next was a comfy living area, complete kitchen and super beds/bedrooms with tvs in two. The master was sublime complete with a bidet toilet seat and outside patio area. We ate on every available space (3) and took advantage of the fire pit which was a real treat.

Beautiful, spacious, clean property with incredible view. We want to go back.

This must be one of the best properties in Tucson. Our family of 4 was very comfortable here for 5 nights for spring break. The entire house was spotless. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well furnished, including a nice assortment of spices and everything you need to cook meals. The appliances were all modern, high-quality and functioned great. Our favorite part of the house was the large living area where we could sit and enjoy the unobstructed view of the mountains through the huge back windows. Communication with the owner was superb before and during our stay. We had no issues and no complaints about any aspect of our reservation and stay. We used this house as our base for exploring the area. Just minutes from the house is some really fantastic hiking. We enjoyed the hike up to Saddleback (our favorite of the trip) as well as Bear Canyon to Seven Falls. We also found good hiking nearby in the eastern section of Saguaro National Park. We made two trips to the western section of Saguaro National Park. This takes 45-55 minutes depending on traffic. On that side, we toured the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and also hiked to Wasson Peak, which offered amazing scenery.I’ve stayed in dozens of VRBO’s, and this is one of the best. I highly recommend it. I would love to return.

The Desert Oasis

Este lugar es un hogar. It feels like home. In fact, my husband and I would purchase the property if we could. The view is better than in the photos. And the backyard is curated in such a way as to combine all of the colors and textures of the environment. Every morning we watched the sun kiss the forehead of the santa catalina mountain. We watched the gila woodpeckers fly in and out of the saguaro cactus. We heard the coyotes giggling at night. The neighborhood is beautiful and walkable and the neighbors are friendly. We enjoyed walking in the wash area where we saw quail and road runners. The house is tastefully decorated and the furniture is comfortable. As i said we wanted to move into the place "as is". The kitchen has spices and oils and condiments, all types of storage things (plastic containers foile ziplock). There is tea and coffee and everything you could need to cook and eat meals at the house. There are theow bla kes in the licing room and kleenex boxes in every room. If you forgot something, the host probably has it in the house. The laundry room is huge and they have every kind of product you could beed from stain removers (with instructions for sifferent kinds of stains) to fabric softner. We lacked for nothing. We rented a motorcyle for the duration of the trip and there were so many beautiful roads to ride, especially the road up mount lemmon. After every adventure we were glad to retuen "home" for a good nights rest. We will return.

Top Notch!

This place exceeded our expectations. The backyard view was stunning, the neighborhood lovely and quiet (great for walks), the house spacious and spotless. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need or want, the beds were comfortable, there was even firewood for the backyard fire pit. We were just two senior couples but there was plenty of room for kids. And there were so many little welcoming touches - big bath towels, a stool in the second bath so kids could reach the sink, extra throws in the living if the weather gets chilly - lots of thoughtful little gestures. Honestly, this place is why you rent from VRBO.

A perfect stay

We LOVED our stay. The house was perfect in every way. Spectacular views of sunrise and sunset. Loved sitting outside having coffee looking at the mountains while my sons with hiked or ran. , and they both loved the location for cycling and running. Highly recommend this home as a base camp for cycling, especially for Mt Lemmon and Le Buzz cafe. The home was immaculate, and had everything you could think of. We felt at home and comfortable from the moment we walked in. We were sad to leave and plan to come back

The property is in our top 5 rental stays. The house was clean, comfortable and modern. We can't say enough good things about the back yard! It was so peaceful to sit and listen to nature in the morning and the watch the stars at night. The location was ideal for what we wanted to do (Saguaro NP East, Sabino Canyon, and sunrise in Mt. Lemmon)during our short stay. We would definitely stay again if in the area. Thank you Marissa and Albert for proving this great property!
