quiet desert

Amazingly cool house, too much character to describe. The desert around the house was alive with critters but the location was quiet and secluded. Nice place to relax and yet be close to the Tucson attractions. True desert house.

A nature lover’s dream

We stayed for nearly two weeks at this wonderful property. It was an oasis of desert beauty just brimming with plants and wildlife. Birds, bobcats, javelina, and coyotes oh my! This historic home’s whimsical, relaxed atmosphere just made us want to stay longer. Outdoor seating galore, we spent so much time just sitting on the front porch watching the feeders. We loved this house and know you will too. Barbara and Jose are perfect hosts. We plan to come again! -Lori and Ray from Oregon

Best vacation rental ever

We loved this place, and the hosts, so much we hope to return next year. It's close to town yet you get to experience the absolute magic of the desert. We loved sitting out on the porch watching the wildlife. The stars are so clear. It's genuinely magical. Cecil, the pet tortoise, was a wonderful part of the stay. The hosts thought of everything to make it the perfect, comfortable stay and we look forward to returning next year!

Great Property, Great Location

The house and property was everything we could ask for. A unique old house with plenty of room, fun amenities like a piano, record player, and hot tub, a great yard for dogs, and lots of outdoor living space. It’s the best of both worlds being 15min from town, but surrounded by open space, howling coyotes, owls, and all kinds of song birds. All the logistics were easy, Barbara and Jose were easy enough to get a hold of, and worked through the couple minor issues we had. Would definitely stay again.
