Bohemian desert sanctuary with stunning sauna/cold plunge retreat!

Beautiful house and property, my dad and i really enjoyed staying here. The kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed making dinner and sitting on the back patio each evening around sunset. Host was communicative, house was very clean. Great place overall!

It was awesome to be out in the desert on the edge of town, right at the edge of the park. There are lots of fun things to look at in the house. The neighborhood was very friendly

This home and property, and host, is a 10 star! The kind host, was so easy to work with, and provided more amenities than any property we have ever rented. The property is filled with healing, quiet, spaces inside and out. We identified 16 varieties of birds, more than we found at the proclaimed world-class birding destination of Madera Canyon. The beauty and quietude was just what we needed. We were thrilled to be so close to the National park, yet not too far from the city. It is definitely a sanctuary. I left there better than I arrived. I carried the peace, that this home and property exudes. We cannot wait to find a time to return again and again. I'm forever grateful for this experience. You won't be disappointed.

Very peaceful setting. Loved the views and outside areas. Very comfortable for a friend group of 5. Soaps and haircare products especially nice! Owner very responsive to questions. Home nicely decorated. Loved the chimes!

Bohemian paradise is absolutely right! We loved our stay at Shelly's place. It's not only full of character, but it's incredibly comfortable too - the beds, the shower head/pressure, the sofas, the outdoor seating, the kitchen. If I were to have a funky, desert escape I hope it would be as charming!

A true Sonoran Desert experience, private, quiet, and very well appointed! The views from the backyard are incredible, and the house is very comfortable! We had everything we could possibly need. Our family loved staying here! Thank you.

beautiful, surrounding area very beautiful!! The Picture Rock Rd fun to drive and beautiful!!the Saguaro's are everywhere!!!

This home is full of love and positivity. Beautifully decorated; more than adequately furnished. Peaceful retreat for reflection. We would stay here again!

This Boho place is well equipped and did not disappoint! Comfy both in/out, super cute furnishings. Shelly was a great communicator both on the house notes and emails. We will come back for sure!

We selected this property based on the location in the area of the Saguaro National Park. The listing was accurate, and we were happy with our choice. Our trip was in early October 2020. We took several hikes in the area as recommended by the owner. One of our favorite hikes was the Hugh Norris trail which takes you along a ridge line inside the National Park. The hike is best experienced starting in the morning so you have an abundance of shade during the ascent.
