The large studio is located on Santa Gertrudis Lane in Tumacacori. The location is absolutely perfect for those who enjoy nature, hiking, birdwatching, gallery hopping, horseback riding and experiencing the historic West.

Tubac also has a state park and museum where you can explore more of the history of our area.

Full of history in a relaxed environment
Hidden gem !!! Very relaxing and peaceful !! Beautiful location !!!!
My first online complaint ever: I was traveling with my dog, and upon arrival, 3 large dogs came charging at us barking, maybe a greeting, but unnerving when you’ve not been told to expect it. My dog is anxious about other dogs, even “friendly” dogs intimate him. Had I been told about 3 loose dogs roaming the property I would have looked elsewhere. Each time we tried to come and go I had to deal with this. Two workers on property witnessed my struggle, but did nothing to remedy the situation. I figured that word of the incidents would’ve made it to the owners and I wouldn’t see the dogs again. Wrong. Worse still, when I finally notified the owners they told me no one else ever complained. They put the dogs in at that point, but the correspondence felt unwelcoming. In addition, there was no hot water. When I notified the host I was told that the last guest didn’t complain and that it was set to 120 degrees. And I will assume nothing was done as they were absent and the next day still no hot water. The Wi-Fi is unreliable, which wouldn’t have been anything I complained about if it weren’t for the unpleasant experience.
Was well looked after as advertised! Thank you so much
We spent two wonderful in one of the casitas. We hiked local trails, ate at great restaurants, and thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the rocking chairs on the front porch. Christine’s three dogs were well behaved and a joy to have around. The fresh eggs Christine provided were amazing too! We will definitely return.
Quiet, relaxing, great paths to stroll that have deep history. Short walk to a ma n pop bar, that’s not so close to hear any noise. Will return!
This is a unique, rural compound. The Juan Batista de Anza trail just adjacent to it which runs along the Santa Cruz River is a major asset. The trail is flat, beautiful, and there are many birds. The rooms are clean and tastefully decorated. The staff is friendly and helpful. Our only complaint is that the shower was lukewarm.
As others have said, this is a working family farm/ranch, and the units are converted out-buildings. Our casita was clean, sufficiently outfitted, and proximity to historic locations and hiking trails was wonderful. We enjoyed our two days, though we were disappointed not to have been awakened by one of the roosters.
Location is around three miles or so south of Tubac. It’s right next to the Anza trail and the flowing Santa Cruz river as well as the Tumacacori Mission. Our room was pleasant and the bed quite comfortable. Would recommend as a decent place to stay.
The property is very nicely maintained. The casitas are decorated with Christine’s (the owner) stunning woodwork, and are very comfortable. It was so relaxing & a truly invigorating experience staying here. Will definitely be returning!
We came down here to escape our heat in the Phoenix area. We were SO lucky to get thunder/lightning/rain storms every afternoon--a welcomed break! The casita is comfy and furnished with some fine tables and lamps we believe are made here on site. I forgot to ask. Ad then there was the welcoming fresh eggs, butter, cream in the fridge. So thoughtful. The chickens, geese, goats, pig, mule, pony--all fun to visit daily. Everyone was so nice, the pool was amazing, and the close proximity to the Anza Trail and the Santa Cruz River wash made it perfect. Not to mention Wisdom's Cafe one mile down the road, which was delicious with great service, covered patio with yummy rain sound effects, Elvis-friendly, and live music Friday and Saturday. Great location, quick drive to Tubac and the mission. We will be back!
We stayed here for 10 days, waiting to move into our new home. It was quiet, peaceful, even with the animals. The location was great and the bed was very comfortable. We didn’t take advantage of the trails close by - trying to recover from moving. The fresh eggs, fruit, cream and coffee was much appreciated. We did enjoy sitting on the front porch enjoying the day.
