Vacation with family
It was the perfect home in a very nice neighborhood. I was visiting family in Tucson and I had been looking for a place to stay where my cousin and her son could stay with me in the city and it couldn't have worked out better.

Excellent cottage in Sam Hughs.
This is our 2nd time staying here. Came to visit our daughters. Stayed here with my husband and mom. Lovely place. Super clean. Beds are comfy. Plenty of towels. Himmel Park is a short walk down the street. Plenty of places to eat near by. Check in was a breeze. Plenty of kitchenware to cook a meal. Having a pool in the summer months is a must. Plenty of room to park. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you.

Comfortable home
We spent five nights at this lovely home which is a good blend of historic features and updates. Great small lap pool in the back yard, good ac (essential in the summer), small but ok kitchen, nice outdoor patio, and great front porch to watch the monsoon weather. Would recommend this home.

Lovely !!!
Finding the property is easy and the house has so much unexpected charm . We loved the pool and other sitting areas outside - coming from Seattle this was a main selling point . We felt safe in this neighborhood and would describe it has quiet and close to everything we came to Tucson to do. We definitely would rent this darling place again .
