We prefer to stay in out of the way, quiet, more remote areas. This property was perfect! The location was very close to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and all the hiking trails in the west section of the Saguaro Natl Park. Easy enough access to Tucson.

Exquisite Desert Setting
We loved sitting in the patio, front and back, and listening to the birds and looking at the clouds. The saguaro happened to be blooming and the Common Blackhawk returned for spring activities. Hiking trails are close by and beautiful. A wonderful time.
If you want a remote location with easy access to the park, this is a great choice. Owner was responsive and helpful, offering recommendations. Super quiet and peaceful. Would stay again!
My wife and I have been coming to Tucson in the spring for many years, and we always look for secluded homes in the desert. This one was the best in that regard. The desert around it is outstanding. On the inside, furnishings are basic but clean - more than suitable for our needs. We were extremely impressed with how well the house was provisioned, right down to hand cream and toothpaste. And finally, Kristine was an excellent host and very responsive - we had a bad windstorm one day that blew a panel on the front awning loose, and when I messaged her about it, she was there in five minutes to fix it. We are definitely planning on a return visit next spring.
With a comfortable living room and front and back patios there was plenty of space to relax and enjoy the warm sunshine, amazing sunsets, and twinkling stars. The host was easily accessible and the property was well cared for. The property was close to several attractions (Saguaro Nat. Park, Desert Museum, Old Tucson and lots of hiking trails). Tucson and city activities were a bit of a drive but the scenery was always beautiful!
It was my first time ever using VRBO. This property was in great condition and had everything we needed for our stay. Fairly remote location but that's what we were looking for. Very very close to lots of amazing trails and hiking
Property was exactly as shown , well equipped,kitchen ,bathroom . Comfortable beds and couch and chair, Would gladly rent again !
Owner was great to deal with and suggested several things to do , location was terrific, nice sunsets , wonderful mornings sitting outside drinking coffee and looking at the mountains !
Beautiful place in the desert away from the crowds, quite, beautiful sunsets, super close top Saguaro National Park, the desert Museum and cute bunnies to watch in the morning. Definitely would stay there again.
My family and I greatly enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and had plenty of linens and amenities. The AC worked great thankfully. The view outside was awesome. Great place to star gaze.
Great owner commutation. All amenities worked great with everything we needed to make meals. It was quiet and had lovely sun rise and sunset photo opportunities. It is a pet friendly house with some pet hair around but overall very clean.
The property is beautiful! We enjoyed all of the wildlife. Loved having a kitchen and grill. The beds were so comfortable it was easy to sleep. Internet was awesome. Thank you so much!
Stars, wildlife, and sajuaroJust Wildlife, sajuaro, and stars. Just what we hoped for!
Home is well situated for two couples. Be prepared for a drive because it's a way out, which we expected. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets comfy beds, great hot water and water pressure .We ate in a lot and the kitchen and dining room are fine. Don't expect fancy. This is a basic, comfy place for a quiet stay in the desert.
The property is tucked away in the perfect little desert oasis. In the morning, you will be able to enjoy watching the wildlife - little rabbits, lizards, quails, tons of birds scurrying about. It is quiet, secluded, and if you take the drive alongside the national park to get there - you get the bonus of enjoying the majestic site seeing. The host is very responsive, pleasant, informative.
The place was very clean. Two bedroom was perfect for myself and my mom who went on a little girls trip. We each had our own space. Fans are in each room, comfortable beds.
I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a little getaway.
