About this property

Damselfly Studio. Contemporary, comfortable retreat with gorgeous views near SNP

With this studio I love to create a home away from home for my guests. It's like a luxurious hotelroom with privacy. 2 min from Saguaro Natl. Park - East. Ideal for hiking, biking and birding. Just outside city limits, overlooking the city with desert and mountain views. Dark night skies, howling coyotes, hooting owls and occasional javelinas. For your info; the studio is next to our casita. See more on this Dragonfly casita on vrbo.com/2504493
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

I stayed at this enchanting casita in the Tucson area while in town to photograph a wedding at Tanque Verde Ranch, and it was the perfect little retreat. Tucked away in a peaceful spot surrounded by desert beauty, it felt like my own private oasis, quiet, cozy, and full of warmth and character.From the moment I arrived, I could tell how much care had been put into every detail. The space was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Mornings were my favorite, waking up to the soft desert light and the stillness of the surroundings before heading off to shoot. In the evenings, I’d unwind on the patio, watching the sky fade into those breathtaking Tucson sunsets.The host was wonderful, welcoming, responsive, and made the entire experience effortless. This casita truly felt like a home away from home and gave me the perfect balance of rest and inspiration during a busy work weekend. If you’re looking for a peaceful, restorative place to stay near Tucson, I couldn’t recommend this hidden gem enough. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

The host Fredericka deserves more than 5 stars! She was so friendly and knowledgeable. Offered lots of great suggestions for the area. The rental was absolutely fabulous. It was clean, had snacks and drinks provided, the decorations were fun, the property was just perfect. It was right in the center of all the activities we wanted to do. Fredericka made us feel like friends instead of just travelers passing by. We will definitely stay here again and strongly encourage anyone else to stay here too. You won’t regret it.

Saguaro National Park stay

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The Damselfly studio was roomy, comfortably furnished and very pleasant. We were very close to the Park for hiking and within easy driving distance to restaurants. Fredericka was a very accommodating and friendly host. You will not be disappointed if you stay there!

Beauty, tranquility, and comfort

Damselfly was exactly as pictured on Vrbo. The room was decorated with lovely touches. The bed was very comfortable. The water pressure was great. The grounds are stunning and I wish we'd had more time to take advantage of the space and beauty of the property. We had lovely sunrises from our deck and if we sat quietly, the hummingbirds came and went to the feeder next to the deck. Our host Fredericka was great with communication at time of booking, before arrival, and on property. She showed us around the place and the grounds and was very welcoming. We appreciated the bottles of water and snacks that she left for us. Access to lots of nice sundries too. Property is on the east side and a good 20-30 minute drive from the more active parts of Tucson but we were there for the nature. It was dark and good for star-gazing. Close to the East Saguarago Nat'l Park and Sabino Canyons. We were also very close to the Pima Air and Space Museum, which was very cool. About a 40 minute drive to the West National Park. All parks and hiking were stunning. Damselfy was a wonderful place to call home and rest up in before the next day's adventure.So lucky we found this place and HIGHLY recommend.

Excellent Experience

Comfortable, clean, nice deck and located within a very short drive to the Saguaro National Park entrance. The hostess was terrific. She met my car as I pulled in, and she was responsive whenever I needed to contact her. If you intend to cook, be aware that there is a fridge and microwave in the "kitchen" area, but no sink or stove. This was not a problem for me, as I mostly at out or had cold food that I brought in (sandwiches, cereal, etc.). I would stay here again without hesitation!
