Absolutely lovely home in a great area of Tucson. The views are jaw dropping. The house looks just like the photos. Property manager was easy to contact and super responsive. Backyard is completely fenced in, for those with dogs. Basically, it was an ideal rental house. We had a wonderful time here and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

It was wonderful to be back at the house again. This was our second stay and we loved it just as much as the first. This house is just so lovely - all of it. The grounds show what a beautiful desert landscape can look like. You have fabulous views of the mountains from the pool and from the front of the house you see spectacular sunsets every evening. The owner has put so much love into this house that you can feel it. The location is so peaceful. We highly recommend staying here any chance you get!

I have stayed at a lot of rentals and VRBOs, but this was one of the best ever. Not only was the host great with communication; the property itself was very clean, well appointed, and overall super welcoming to our stay. To make it even better, the view was just amazing. Definitely recommend for your stay in Tucson!

Beautiful and well stocked home with incredible views! We enjoyed lots of outside pool time and amazing sunsets every evening. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the host was very quick to respond to questions. The neighborhood feels secluded and is very quiet but still close to all the amenities. Would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Luxurious Foothills paradise

This home is everything it was described to be and more, starting with the spectacular view walking up to the front door. The home has a beautiful flow with lots of inviting common spaces, and the decor was so creative and stylish. The overall impression: luxurious and pristine. I want to especially mention the kitchen, which was without a doubt the best equipped VRBO I’ve ever rented, and the owner has thoughtfully provided spices, oils, vinegar, etc. The pool also was a welcome amenity with its warm water, even in November. (And, yes, we remembered to cover it after our swim -- not a difficult task.) We needed to communicate with the owner on a couple of matters, and she replied promptly and resolved our issues to our complete satisfaction. Highly recommend!

What a fabulous home! It was beautifully decorated, lots of space and a gorgeous pool in the back. With five of us on the trip, we had plenty of rooms and beds for everyone.

Perfect place

Home owner was so communicative and helpful. The house ( while big for just 2 people) was comfortable and felt like home by day 2. We were in town visiting sick family and this home was our oasis . We were there during heat wave ( 110 every day) so we used pool early in the morning and then in the house for cool AC. The location was perfect . Will rent again if we need a place in Tucson.

Gorgeous home, gracious host, perfect stay.

The pictures do not do justice to the beauty of the location, the views, the incredible art from around the world, or to how well-appointed the home is. The layout and size of the rooms allows everyone to spread out. The outside of the property and the pool were well-maintained and very clean. The hosts communicated check-in notes and property notes clearly and were available to answer questions. If we return to Tucson, this will be our first choice!
