Looking for a getaway BEAUTIFUL & PRIVATE Guest House! Hiking - Biking - Relax

This place was perfect for an adventure based impromptu girls trip.The grounds are beautifully maintained and felt private. We enjoyed having coffee on the back patio while watching the birds and listening to wildlife. The kitchen was well appointed with good quality cookware. There is plenty of space for meals on the granite bar area or for laying out hors d’oeuvres. We found the house nicely situated for exploring nature and going on hikes as well as convenient to town. Monica, the host, was helpful with information and recommendations. LOVED our stay and would definitely rent this house again!

This place was perfect for our short stay in Tucson. Feels like you're worlds away yet you are only a short drive to civilization. I love the wildlife so seeing the coyotes, quail, cardinals, cottontails, and jack rabbits was such a joy. It’s like national geographic right outside your window! I can’t wait to have an excuse to go back. There was still some wildlife I didn’t get to see. Monica was super attentive and very sweet. Loved the history of the property and the love that went in to bring it back to life. If this is how you roll, don’t give it a second thought to stay here.

We enjoyed our three weeks at this very unique guest house. It is extremely well kept and furnished with everything needed. The property is a nature lovers dream. You can walk its gardens or hike in the nearby preserve. We watched birds and wildlife esque view of the Tucson Mountains. from inside and had a picture

We absolutely love this home and keep returning every year. Monica is a wonderful host and house is very clean and comfortable. Our favorite thing is the large picture windows where we can look out on to the beautiful desert scenery - lots of cactus and wildlife. Totally safe and peaceful yet enough close to the main parts of the city to be convenient for gem show visits. We will return again next year!

We enjoyed our 3 night stay here. Everything was clean and in top shape, the beds were super comfortable and the views and wildlife were awesome. We particularly enjoyed the close access to the Sweetwater preserve hiking and biking trails that can be accessed nearby. We would definitely highly recommend.

Beautiful relaxing time surrounded by Cactus, birds and other wildlife! Close to hiking in the Sweetwater Preserve! Looking forward to visiting again!

Great house, setting, birds, hospitality. House - very nice detail/finishes, bed Setting - really nice grounds, paths Birds - feeders with a good collection of regulars; and a good walk to the Sweetwater Preserve Hospitality - couldn't be more friendly/accomodating

This was our 3rd stay at Monica's guest home. It is so amazing to wake up to the beautiful views of the desert; the house has large picture windows in the front. There is so much wildlife that passes through the property and it was fun to try to spot coyotes, javelina, hares and birds every morning and evening. Despite the natural beauty and wildlife, this home is very convenient to the city of Tucson. I highly recommend this home, it is beautiful inside and out.

My wife and I selected this property so we would be in close proximity to the Marana TIMPA airstrip to see our son compete with his DBF team that had traveled down from Colorado for the weekend. The home was about 30 minutes from the TIMPA facility. We drove through the Saguaro National Park to get there; which turned out to be some of the most picturesque desert southwest scenery in Arizona. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The vacation home and the surrounding property were absolutely stunning. Extremely relaxing in and around the updated guest home. Very quiet neighborhood well off main roads. Huge panoramic picture windows on every wall of the house looking out over beautiful desert surroundings. Saw far more sonoran wildlife out the windows of the home than we did while we were out hiking. Best advice I can give is to alot plenty of time to relax at the house and let the birds and animals come to you. Amazing sunsets behind western Tucson mountain peaks off the back patio. Host was very friendly, accessible, and communicative before, during and after the stay. Don't miss out on this experience. Highly recommended. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Thank you again!
