This home was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and perfectly set up for a relaxing desert retreat. The mountain views were stunning, and we loved spending time outdoors by the fire pits and hammock. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, and the modern décor made the whole space feel luxurious. We would definitely stay here again — highly recommend!
This is our favorite vacation rental we’ve stayed in, and we’ve stayed in many! The house is beautiful, modern and spacious. Our family of 8 stayed here for Christmas and there was plenty of room. Comfortable beds, tons of amenities and a fully stocked kitchen that had everything we needed for cooking. Perfect location, private and peaceful, but close to shopping. Yard is amazing with pool, spa, and fire pit. Plenty of areas for relaxing. The sunset and views were outstanding! I also want to mention that the hosts were amazing!! They went out of their way to ensure our family had the perfect stay. They even put up a beautiful Christmas tree fully decorated for us to enjoy. I highly recommend this place!!
My family had an incredible week at this house. The location was perfect. Right at the foothills in a quiet neighborhood, with a grocery store and restaurants just a few minutes away. Floating in the pool at night watching the stars was awesome.The house was stocked with everything you could think of and a lot of towels and pool towels. There was even extra propane tanks if you used the grill a lot. They thought of it all!I will definitely look for available dates next trip to Tucson! The owner was super nice and quick to respond (no issues, I just had a question about checkout).
