I gave cleanliness 4 stars only because the area around the grill had cobwebs and such. The inside was fantastic. When we arrived there was a windstorm that made a mess of the pool. I contacted the host and their pool service was there the next morning at 7:00.

Beautiful Mountain View. Very spacious and clean and well manicured courtyard. The pool was wonderful, but the pool cover was a bit challenging because it was torn. It was nice to have a fire pit area where we could enjoy the nice cool evenings. The home was very well equipped with kitchen utensils & small appliances. Plenty of pillows and blankets. Excellent location, only 30 minutes from the airport and wonderful privacy with light traffic. Safe country atmosphere. Witnessed wildlife out through our bedroom windows. We definitely would recommend this five star home!

Host was great and answered all my questions… clear instructions and communications. The pool was lovely and hot tub too. Fantastic kitchen and so well appointed. It was a dream for my son and his wife who are chefs/ foodies. All basics… spices, sugar, flour, cooking oil, and more. Also every kitchen gadget imaginable. Blenders, coffee grinder, ice cream maker, coffee maker, Kitchen Aid mixer, high end oven, microwave, stove top with heat lamps and all the pots and pans you would ever need! Nice beds and of course beautiful views from every room. We took advantage of all the good restaurants as well. Many within a few miles. Good location. Walking distance to Saguaro National Park with endless hiking trails. My favorite place of all, Tanque Verde Ranch is just a few minutes away and is a very special special treat for horse lovers like me…. (Also a great place to eat!). All in all “Saguaro Retreat” is a great and memorable home away from home. A beautiful place to play, relax, and re-energize. We will definitely return. PS… oh I almost forgot, LOVED the fancy toilets

Amazing views!!
We had an amazing stay at this home! The view out the back of the house was incredible, and the walled-in front/pool area gave us a wonderful place to relax and recharge. It was such a peaceful week for us, and we are grateful to have spent time at this home. The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable, plenty of towels were provided, and not having to buy toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, hand soap, etc was very appreciated! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Quiet Desert Retreat
Our multigenerational family loved the calming comfort of the nature sounds surrounding this desert property. It feels isolated but, in fact, is only minutes from shopping and services.The home is comfortably equipped, furnished, and decorated, making it easy to move right in and feel at home.Everyone loved the pool throughout the day and the sunrises and sunsets from the courtyard were incredible.We all hope to return to this gem in the desert.

Great vacation house!
We stayed for a week during my daughters college graduation. This house is perfect for relaxing with family. There’s a lot more room than we expected, two office areas that we used almost daily and the pool area is set up great for entertaining. You feel very secluded and it has a very comfortable resort vibe. I would definitely stay here again!

Exceptional Private Retreat
The property and location are exceptional. We spent our annual Spring Break trip with our 8 year old granddaughter. We swam every day in the saline pool and enjoyed S’mores at the fire pit. The walled yard was safe for our dogs, even when the coyotes and javelinas roamed just outside. The views from bedrooms and living room are spectacular. It’s a short walk to Sajuaro National Park (with immediate access to a dog- friendly trail. Jonas made check in and our stay a breeze. He readily answered questions so we could enjoy our stay.

What a glorious spot!
The view out each window was like a postcard photo. All was well maintained and functional. Kitchen was fabulous. Furniture and beds very comfortable. The fireplace was nice in the cool evenings. The site is rather remote which is precisely what we wanted. No noise or backyard view of neighbors. Pool and hot tub were great and heated just right. To top things off, Jono was easy to contact I needed. Very, very relaxing for all.
