Desert Bungalow – First-Floor of The Sonora House
The Sonora House is a restored 1910 bungalow in the historic Armory Park neighborhood, featuring high ceilings and minimal, stylish décor for a calm, inviting retreat. Tucked on a quiet street, it’s a short drive to scenic parks and trails, and walkable to downtown Tucson, making it the perfect place to unwind, enjoy morning hikes, and explore the nightlife.
The Desert Bungalow is the first-floor portion of the home, offering full access to the private backyard.
The Western Nook blends cowboy charm with modern comfort, offering the perfect base to unwind, explore the city, or take a short drive to nearby national parks and scenic hiking trails.
Welcome to your stylish desert escape in downtown Tucson!
This Desert Bungalow features a beautiful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom main house. Perfect for families, friends, or groups, the home comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests.

- 2 cozy bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms
- Spacious living room with a L couch or air mattress to sleep 2 additional guests
- Private laundry room
- Fully equipped kitchen and dining area perfect for cooking and gathering
- Private backyard with a fire pit, water fountain, grill, and *new* cowboy pool

**THERE IS A SEPARATE SMALL UNIT UPSTAIRS. GUESTS WILL SHARE THE FRONT GATE, FRONT YARD, AND SIDE YARD LEADING TO THE UPSTAIRS UNIT. We kindly ask that you be respectful of this shared area and keep noise to a minimum, as there may be guests staying in the upstairs unit during your visit.*

Loved the space, from the decor to the location it was all amazing. I’m not sure if it was just Tucson in general, but the service with my provider ATT was very spotty in the area. I have to emphasize that it’s best practice anywhere to have a way to access check in instructions offline.
