Architectural digest in the Sonoran desert

As described with equal sunrise to sunset vistas and the desert glow throughout. Felt like we slept better unhindered by curtains or blinds. Best equipped VRBO kitchen with a first, really sharp knives and sharpeners for back-up. Didn't use the outdoor grill. Location is spot on for the west park and Tucson. Owner's recommendation for El Antojo Poblano was on point for lunch.

We had an exceptional stay at the glass cottage in the desert. The space was immaculate, thoughtfully designed, and very peaceful. The host communicated clearly and made everything seamless.We valued the privacy and quiet setting, which made it perfect for rest and reconnecting with nature. The kitchen was clean and functional, and the sunrise and sunset views were truly remarkable.Outstanding value overall, and we look forward to returning!

Once again, we really enjoyed our stay at the Glass House! This was our 3rd time staying and we are greatly looking forward to visiting again!!

We had a wonderful stay, a perfect getaway! The sunrises were beautiful!

The house is very impressive. The kitchen is well equipped and everything worked well. Great bed. Very nice to wake to an expansive view of the rising sun.

We stay in several VRBO's a year and this architectural gem is now one of our favorites. It is a delightful blend of glass, rusted steel, and cast concrete, which sounds cold, but which perfectly contrasts with the lush desert plants that closely surround it. It allows you to be at one with the beautiful Sonoran Desert while experiencing all the comforts of a very modern and convenient house. It is likely not for everyone--no blinds or curtains over the walls of floor to ceiling windows, but the house is situated to allow for all the privacy we needed. For us, having desert plants and birds all around made this perfect. The location is great. One can hear traffic on Ina Road and I-10, but it is hardly intrusive. The house is comfortably furnished (great bed with an awesome view of desert plants) and very clean. The property manager lives nearby and was very helpful. We plan to come back next year.

Fabulous architectural jewel box in a private desert setting with distant views of the mountains in two directions with spectacular sunrise and sunset vistas. The set up is a little quirky but remarkably comfortable and well equipped. The hosts’ notes on restaurants and venues were unusually helpful.

Beautiful, well kept apartment with great finishes

Absolutely fabulous! This was our third stay here and we truly love it! I’d highly recommend it. Under 1/2 hour to downtown and friends in Dove Mountain, so we easily took in a play, a festival, many great restaurants. It feels so isolated, remote, and very private, and yet so well situated. We love the clean, modern vibe.

My wife and I stayed 5 nights, we very much enjoyed the Glass Cottage and the area. Everything is exactly per the listing!

Beautiful property with amazing views… we loved it !

The property manager met me at the Glass House—literally riding a bike, which I loved—and provided very useful information. The house itself is a unique and special experience that has everything you need, including a great kitchen, a comfortable bed, and very fast internet. I loved using the sunrise as my alarm clock; it was spectacular. While the location feels remote and peaceful, it is conveniently close to modern attractions like the Desert Museum and Saguaro National Park (West). The neighborhood donkeys were a delight, and the host was friendly and incredibly communicative. All in all very satisfied. Thanks.

Owner and house manager were very accommodating and instructive. The house is architecturally unique, quiet and equipped with all needed amenities.

Everything was as promised. It is a spectacular “cottage” in a spectacular setting. Everything was clean and tidy and comfortable. The location was convenient to exploring the Tucson area.

The Glass House Cottage is wonderful. The views are amazing. The property is beautiful. For an immersive experience in the desert there is no better place to stay.

Everything was perfect. This is an exceptional place to stay. The views are spectacular. The reality is better than the pictures. Everything we needed was there.

This place was wonderful. We were greeted by the host who showed us everything, including how to turn on the security system when we were gone. Everything was deluxe!! Well supplied. Very comfortable bed. Beautiful views of sun rises and sunsets. Close to Suguaro National Park and the desert museum. Plenty of brochures were available on what to do in Tucson area. Bird brochures and books. Loved all the artwork and minimalism. Can't wait to return!!

We loved everything about the Glass House! Very quiet and secluded, but only 10 mins from local restaurants. The host and property manager were great to deal with from the start until the end. We will stay again on our next trip to Tucson.

This is our second visit at the Glass Cottage. I love being in the desert and seeing the sights from this gorgeous place.

The location is very pretty. It was just a great stay. Excellent property excellent management.

My husband and I stayed 3 nights and wished we could stay longer. Everything was spotless, as pictured and the property manager met us on arrival to quickly share very useful information about the house, and even adjusting the meet up time when our flight times changed.This is a very special property in a an amazingly private, gorgeous desert setting. It's about 5 minutes to Saguaro National Park East, but also less than 5 minutes to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. The thoughtful and purposeful design of the house that incorporate formm, function, choice of building materials, lighting, placement of the home on the lot extended down to details such as the placement of items like towels, books, outdoor furniture and more, all compounded the experience of staying on this property. We felt very fortunate to have the opportunity to stay in this home.

A very nice and unusual escape. We enjoyed the uniqueness of the home.

Enjoyed staying in this home in Saguaro. Within minutes of numerous hiking trails and also downtown Tucson.

A large part of our return vacations to Tucson are because we stay here. It’s a fabulous experience by itself. Very private, very modern chic, very spotless, and yet we were only 15-20 min from so much to do. We loved occasionally seeing desert wildlife, from javelinas coming by house early in morning to a pack of coyotes crossing gravel road (and often heard howling at night.) Simply a perfect quiet retreat.

Lovely spot close to great desert scenery and hiking. Feels very much like you are on the edge of a national park (and you actually are!). Enjoyed it very much.

The Glass Cottage itself is a work of art and is situated in a beautiful area with wonderful sunrises and sunsets. Right near Saguaro national park. All the best of Tucson.

The Views were amazing. Really cool place.

Great modern house immersed in the desert with distant views of Tucson and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. Fantastic quiet place to relax and unwind! Highly recommend!

Phenomenal property with incredible desert views. Very well appointment with the exception of the Wi-Fi and TV. The TV is small and unable to get Netflix. This cottage would be incredibly enhanced with full-on internet service for stays of multiple days.

We stayed here to visit Tucson. This house is far to the west of Tucson which is not a difficult city to navigate but a city with lots of long roads with lots of lights. I 10 was under construction the entire time making travel more tough. BEAUTIFUL house and grounds!

Property was exactly as described and met all expectations. Glad to have had the opportunity to stay here.
