Stayed Nov 10, 2025This 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!!

Stayed Oct 14, 2025We 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.

Stayed Apr 25, 2025My 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.

Stayed Mar 21, 2025A 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.

Stayed Feb 4, 2025Lovely 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.

Stayed Nov 25, 2024Phenomenal 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.

Stayed Nov 19, 2024We 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!
