About this property

Comfy, Like Grandma's House -you can almost smell the cookies

This home is not advertised on Craig's List. Beware of scams!

A soothing and familiar abode like “Grandma’s house” awaits you at this bright and restful 2-bedroom, 2-bath Tucson vacation rental home. Tucked in an intimate subdivision with mountain views and near notable area attractions, this home is a place where you can truly relax!

Offering a pet friendly environment and sleeping arrangements for 4 guests, this comfy Tucson residence is an ideal size and layout for a small family or two couples traveling together. Inside, the home comes with all the amenities needed to feel like home (or Grandma’s home) and more; including air conditioning, complimentary wireless internet access, washer and dryer, fresh linens and a fully equipped kitchen stocked with all the essential cooking appliances. Should you need to get a little work done while you’re away, feel free to use the antique desk in the master bedroom suite with queen bed or the antique mahogany stand-up desk in the other bedroom with full bed. The community pool and Jacuzzi are steps away from your front door (pool NOT heated.)

After an exciting day of Arizona excursions, look forward to unwinding in the welcoming family room, where you can curl up next to the wood log fireplace and watch your programming of choice on the flat screen TV. Better yet, take your glass of wine out on the patio and kick back while watching the mountains glow as the sun sets. If you are lucky enough to stay during the brilliant luminosity of an Arizona full moon, stroll in the indescribably meditative calm of nature.

All floors are ceramic tile. Double garage plus more parking available in marked neighborhood spaces. Location - close to restaurants, bars, Starbucks, yoga, farmer’s markets and more. 5 min drive to Tucson Mall. 15-20 mins to downtown or university.

Pets welcome with deposit per pet.
Minimum stay 30 nights from November 15 to April 15

No smoking inside home.
Summer Discount - Stay any time from June through September and your cleaning fee will be refunded.

Relaxing place during a high stress period

This home was very comfortable and extremely clean. All the appliances were top of the line and everything worked as advertised. The neighborhood was quiet and gave us the ability to unwind while we were finishing the purchase of a new home and moving stuff in and out for over 2 months. Thanks Grandma!!

Awesome home, host, & location! I couldn’t have designed a better experience for my 3 month stay.

Everything about my 3 month stay at Holly’s home was outstanding! From booking my stay through my recent departure Holly was great to work with—pleasant, responsive, available and sincerely helpful. Her home is a delight—clean, bright, and cheerful and it has every item you could possibly need while making her home yours! The Pima Hollow location is awesome—close to everything Tucson has to offer in the arts and outdoors, shopping and dining and yet the quiet neighborhood makes one think you’re miles away from the city. Thank you, Holly, for making me feel so at home in your home and for creating such a special tranquil home for visitors!

The Cleanest Rental

We were moving back to Tucson and needed a place to stay while we were house hunting. This house was so clean. It has everything you would need to live and relax. Hidden in a very convenient location. The yard isn't big but it was nice that the Kids(dogs) could have their own space. Beautiful views! I loved sitting out on the swing in the mornings and evenings. Holly was an amazing Hostess! She was quick to respond if there were any questions or issues. So pleasant to talk with. Thank you Holly for sharing your home with us!!

Beyond Expectations.

We have stayed in many VRBO accommodations but never one that was up to the standard of this unit in the Oro valley. The owner provided us with a detailed guide as to access and all worked as described. The home was clean with large bed rooms, well appointed bath rooms and more kitchen utensils than we have at home. The area is quiet and it is easy to access any compass point your Tucson travels may take you. There was an easy to follow guide to the TV operation so I did not have to phone my grandson to explain things We hope to return soon as we are now trapped in a Canadian winter.

This home is perfect in every way!

This home was absolutely perfect for us...my husband & me, our 23 year old son and 2 dogs. We stayed here from Sept. 30 - Oct. 20 while waiting to get into a new home. Holly has everything you need - cozy sheets, comfortable beds, thick towels and things around the house meticulously labeled. The location provides very easy access to main roads, shopping, restaurants, mountains, etc. The community is very private and quiet, dog friendly and the house has a 2 car garage. You can walk out the front door and take as long a walk as you would like with a great mountain view. Holly responds right away if you need to contact her. She was very gracious about letting us extend our stay when we could not get into our house as planned. I am so happy that we found this house! You will not go wrong with this rental!

Grandma's recipe for successful renting

Comfortable beds, nice shower, well-equipped kitchen in a quiet but convenient location. Add in a responsive owner and a garage to get out of the sun. We hope to be back.

Perfect Vacation House

This little gem is located very near all kinds of restaurants, grocery stores, shops and even a Dairy Queen, but the feel of the house is isolated from the busy roads. I breakfasted every morning with a pair of doves. The house itself is very well stocked. Good internet. A cozy feel loaded with antiques. The house is older and needs just a little work, but nothing that would interfere with a lovely stay. Holly was prompt about replacing the garage door remote. I would recommend this place and Holly to friends and family

About the host

Hosted by Holly Berryhill

Host profile image
Holly grew up in Iowa but moved to Arizona with her family where she attended high school. After earning her bachelor's degree, Holly worked with the Foreign Service in embassies overseas. She lost her sanity working for the federal government and was drawn back the mountains and wide open spaces of Arizona. Recently Holly moved to Tucson and began exploring all the options, possibilities and events in the Old Pueblo.

Why they chose this property

I am content with a humble home and enjoy this quiet little neighborhood with it's mountain view and feel of privacy. The HOA takes care of the pool and jacuzzi while I get to use them. However, the complete solar power system clinched the deal because I am a passive environmentalist at heart.

What makes this property unique

It is wonderful to feel quiet, cozy and secure in a home while being located so close to the action and everything that I like or need. I feel protected by the surrounding trees and vegetation and distanced from the daily rat race while the mountains provide peace in my heart. This house is my cocoon - my home.
