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.

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!

Wonderful! This was our third visit!

We enjoyed our previous visits so much that we booked a third stay! The property is so clean, calm and peaceful. Birds and other wildlife are just out the door. Frederika is an amazing host! We enjoyed chatting with her and she provided great recommendations on things to do and see in the area. The studio was perfectly appointed with little amenities to make our stay more comfortable. We plan to return next year!

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.

Quiet spot near Tucson

We stayed 3 nights and found it to be very relaxing. Host was very pleasant and loaned me her new coffee press since I don't care for the Keurig. Wish the bed was larger. A queen would be have been perfect.

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!

A perfect stay!

We enjoyed a wonderful 3-night stay in this quiet desert retreat. The place was spotless, and we found every amenity we might need for a studio stay. We loved the many seating areas, shared courtyard, and enjoyed watching the birds from the back deck. Frederika is a thoughtful host, and it’s obvious she has made the extra effort to make the studio a comfortable getaway. We loved it so much we ended up booking 2 more stays during our time in Tucson!
