Amazing stay with everything you need!

Helen was an excellent host. I needed to ask her a question or two during our stay and she responded very quickly. When the listing says they have everything...they do! All the laundry needs, the s'more must-haves, definitely has the coffee covered, kitchen gadgets are all there and the aesthetic is gorgeous! I will admit to taking pictures so I can buy some of the decor :) The pool was a life saver as it was unseasonable warm this mid-Oct. We will be staying again when the family comes back to town. Thanks again!

Lovely stay

We had a great time staying at Helen's property. Helen is an impeccable host. Super responsive and helpful and the house is thoughtfully equipped. We are a family who likes to cook a lot and it is nice to have everything available. Especially some good knives! The house is located about 30 min from downtown Tucson, but very close to great hiking spots and grocery stores. This might be something to consider depending on what your priorities are.

Luxe Experience

Not only is the home beautifully decorated, you walk in and are greeted by an adorable welcome of a s’mores kit for some time by the smokeless fire. The fridge has a few complimentary beverages and snack bars are out. The hardest part about vacation homes is not having what you need and knowing where to put things away…neither are a problem at this home. Not only is the home fully stocked with an array of appliances, everything is labeled and easy to find/put away. No detail was overlooked and it made the stay so much easier! We brought our four boys with us 10, 6, 3, & 1 fo visit nearby family. They did a complimentary puzzle found on site and loved their time playing cornhole. Had it been summer, the pool would’ve been a fan favorite! The beds are so comfortable, towels incredibly soft, and showers have all your basic soap needs at your finger tips. There’s helpful signage on the walls for wifi and more. The host Helen was so sweet and responsive; after a week of staying at various spots for our multi destination Thanksgiving holiday this was the families fan favorite! I even got some work done at the standing desk. 5 star experience. We’ll be back!!!
