Experience some Tucson history by staying in one of the original homesteads in the Tucson Mountains. Homesteaded in 1929 by the Canfields when their deed signed by President Herbert Hoover was received. The home is owned by family members who have kept their love of the desert region alive. Nestled in the Tucson Mountains, this ranch style, 2 bedroom - 2 bath, 1900 square foot house maintains it’s seclusion and privacy by being located on 3.3 acres of prime desert habitat where you won’t be surprised to see javalina, coyote, bobcat and deer. The owners are recreational birders and keep feeders full to attract many species of hummingbirds, quail, finches, sparrows, woodpeckers, thrashers and many other birds native to the area and passers through.
Just 15 minutes from downtown Tucson, U of A, and Tucson Community Center and 5 minutes from I-10 you can use this home for a base to most attractions around Tucson and surrounding areas including the world famous Desert Museum.
This is an ideal home for quiet private time, relaxed reading and writing, and as a base for some of the country’s most important Birding locations including Madera Canyon, Ramsey Canyon, Chiricahua Mtn range and Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, as well as incredible hikes through the Saguaro National Parks, Sabino Canyon, Ventana Canyon, Pima Canyon, Catalina State Park, and other enticing locations.

    Spent a pleasant month at the Lazy C Homestead. Well equipped & comfortable historical home set in acreage with abundant wildlife. The location has a nice balance of 'secluded hideaway' & 'easy access to Tucson'. The owners live nearby & are friendly, efficient hosts. Recommended. Keith & Maralyn G. Suffolk, England.

    I found this beautiful Homestead on VRBO while looking for a place to stay outside of downtown Tucson, but convenient to the campus and restaurants. This place was perfect. It was charming, impeccably clean, comfortable, convenient, and quiet! My wife and I had coffee on the porch outside and we saw all kinds of birds, humming birds, rabbits, deer, lizards, etc. it was calm and peaceful. Becky had everything we needed ready and provided a welcome folder with everything you need to know about the home, restaurants, TV operations, wifi, and the history of the homestead. The pool is awesome. I would highly recommend this home and will stay there on my next extended stay in Tucson! Thanks for the hospitality Becky!

    We loved the property. We awoke to a gorgeous sunrise every morning and saw coyotes, javalina family, rabbits, deer, and so many species of birds attracted by the bird feeders on the property. The house was very clean and comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked. The home had a written history with it and pictures, which was such a special touch. We'd highly recommend this place to others.

    We just finished up a wonderful week at the lazy C ranch. It was such an amazing find and we all felt lucky to be there. The home is a historic homestead so if you are looking for modern, this isn’t your house. But if you want to be in a private space with an abundance of land and wildlife, both sunrise and sunset views and a well stocked and loved home, this is your place. It’s really special.

    It's a beautiful location surrounded by nature. They do a good job of attracting a variety of birds and wildlife with easy viewing from a lovely patio. It was a good place to relax and we enjoyed it.

    Neither pictures nor words can adequately describe this place. My wife and I were there on November 2 and 3 and enjoyed sitting on the stone patio under a blue sky in a gentle breeze (temp in the high 70s) while enjoying a glass (or two) of wine. The house and surroundings are beautiful. Birds, bees and butterflies were everywhere (really, I'm not exaggerating!). We grilled steaks on the nice, clean gas grill (and had another glass of wine to go with). The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well - didn't really want to get up in the morning but we did and took a trip to the Desert Museum, about 25 minutes away. That's a great place to visit - we recommend it highly. It feels like you are 100 miles away from anywhere but, in reality, there is a Safeway and the like within 10 minutes by car. I could go on but suffice it to say - we will be back!
