Elegant magical rustic round house by Saguaro National Park

Very charming and relaxing! We loved it!

I can't say enough about this wonderful, eclectic, and comfortable house. It is a distance (about 30 minutes) from the traffic and craziness of Tucson, which we appreciated. It is right on the edge of the Saguaro National Park (west), so we had a front row seat to hiking and watching the sunsets. Diane (out host) was welcoming and went out of her way to make certain we had everything we needed. When we did have a question/need she took care of it immediately. We had 2 dogs with us, and she even had coverlets and bowls for them. The fenced in back yard is nice to have for dogs also.This is the most well equipped Vrbo I have ever stayed in. The pans, coffee machines, washer and dryer, etc was very nice sturdy equipment (as opposed to mixers that won't ever chop one ice cube). It was much appreciated.

So happy with our stay at the round house near the end of January. The house is as described and charming. King sized bed was wonderful after a full day hiking & exploring in the nearby national park and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking a meal. We enjoyed the outside fenced patio and yard with our little dog too. Communication with Diane was quick and easy and she was a wonderful host. Thank you for hosting us!

Easy check in early!

fantastic get away .. out in desert.. will visit again:)

The Round House is enchanting and Diane was a simply lovely host. Every detail was attended to. Freshly baked bread from a neighbor, the fire was set and everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and easy.

This home is far more beautiful than the pictures can show; it's earthy and artistic, and not in the cliche desert way. The color scheme echoes the desert sunsets, and the furnishings and decor are fascinating as well as functional. The hosts were incredibly responsive, with suggestions about places to eat and things to see, while not being at all intrusive. We came to Tucson to experience the wildlife, and it could not have been better situated for visits to Kitt Peak, Mount Lemmon, and Madera Canyon. Best of all, the Saguaro National Park and Ironwood National Monument were both minutes away, and the surrounding area has areas with water and agriculture, which led to a parade of toads following the first rains of the season. On a related note, the AC is an evaporative cooler; it works differently from a freon AC and requires very dry air to work efficiently, so don't expect it to get as cold inside during monsoon season.

Diane is an excellent host. House has many amenities

Our family stayed here for one week on a hiking trip in Saguaro Park. There are many trails close by, and the best is, that house is surrounded by the same scenery like inside of the park with saguaro a few feet from the back porch dining table. Weather was warmer than usual, but the concrete floor, brick walls and silver roof kept the house cool. We did not need to run A/C at all. Very authentic and beautiful place. I did enjoy the espresso machine, because coffee is important. We also toured Kitt Peak observatory and Titan 2 intercontinental ballistic missile site museum.I would also recommend driving for sunsets to The Red Hills Visitor Center or Dessert Discovery Trail. After sunset, the sky at the house is so dark, with many stars and there is almost always some satellite visible by plain eye.Host is very friendly and knowledgeable of the surrounding area.

Perfect place for headquartering a Sonoran Desert experience---so many beautiful trails and places that are very close. A real classic Arizonan desert environment, with a great host.

We loved our stay! It was perfect for my husband and I - we loved the unique, rustic aspects with all the necessary comforts. It was so close to the scenic Saguaro National Park, and a short drive into Tucson. We enjoyed sunsets next to an outdoor fire, and wandering through the desert landscapes on property. Diane was a great and helpful host!

Very beautiful, peaceful home. The thoughtful layout of the home and fenced back yard was perfect for us and our dogs. Excellent comunication from the host. We had everything we needed.

My husband and I booked this home for a little get-a-way. The sunsets are beautiful and enjoyed our evening walks. The home was beautiful,spacious, and clean. I loved how everything in the round house was round too! Instructions were easy. Everything we needed to cook with was in the kitchen. We will definitely be back.
