Tucson, Arizona
If your quest is to find the finest mountain view laid-back Ambience Arizona has to offer then you've come to the right place (so our guests tell us.)
MiraMontes guests frequently comment how well they sleep - better than they can ever remember. Must be the peace and quiet, fresh mountain air and comfortable beds.
MiraMontes itself has approx. 2250 sq ft indoor space with at least that much again in verandas and decks, set on 12 acres with Catalina State Park and mountains as a backdrop.
MiraMontes views include 20,000 acres of mountain without a neighbor in sight. Yet MiraMontes is just 5-10 minutes from a gas station, grocery store, golf, and restaurants.
Each bedroom has its own private bathroom...the Master bedroom opens to the pool enclosure. The master bedroom bathroom with its enormous shower tiled with travertine has a mountain view.
A third bedroom with private bathroom is available upon request. Please contact the owner for details
Between the bedroom suites is an adequate well-stocked linen cupboard..
. The dining table with black leather high-backed chairs seats 8-10 comfortably.
Patio furniture can easily be configured to seat 4, 6 or 10 guests for dinner..an ambience you and your guests will never forget. All kitchen appliances are electric. A gas-burning grill is on the Patio for those who enjoy barbecues.
From Miramontes one can hike in any direction. Up the mountain, along the wash, down the hill - it is all lovely.
MiraMontes offers exceptional bird watching. Quail, falcons, hawks, owls, vultures, the occasional eagle. Cactus wrens abound. Even year-round hummingbirds. Roadrunners are frequent visitors.
MiraMontes' easterly orientation catches the warm morning sun. The verandas provide shade during the midday and afternoon glare.
Great for entertaining especially as the sun goes down - Sundowner time is always special at MiraMontes.
Sunsets transform the mountain to a pink glow. the moon rises and the stars come out...
Imagine the resident pair of great-horned owls calling gently to each other; the musical sound of a distant coyote yelping party.
An occasional nocturnal owl, kit fox or havelina sighting is enough to change the subject of almost any conversation.
The aroma of woodsmoke is especially seductive under Arizona night sky illuminated by the brightest stars.
Miramontes has an indoor beehive fireplace and an outdoor woodburning fireplace especially enjoyable by star - or moonlight..
Miramontes is listed as 'wheelchair-accessible.' All rooms are on the same floor and the flooring is travertine which facilitates indoor wheelchair manoevering. The grounds, surroundings and hikes are not at all wheelchair-accessible however.

Privacy can’t see neighbors feels like off the grid but only couple miles from any store or fine restaurant, beautiful inside and outside, Elma the owner is very helpful and quick to respond, we highly recommend this property if you desire quiet, privacy, comfort, and expansive views
Gorgeous home off the beaten path, just north of Tucson, in Catalina Az. If peace and quiet and wonderful mountain views are what you're looking for, this is the place. Wildlife abounds, lots of hiking options within a short drive, along with many fun places to visit. Elma is the nicest host we have had the pleasure of meeting, and our family has been renting vacation homes for 10 plus years now! Her home is perfect for 2 or 3 couples to enjoy time out in the Arizona wilds. Pool, hot tub, stargazing, wonderful sunsets, and so quiet you might wonder if the world has come to a stop...lol!
The views of the Catalina Mountains were amazing. The house was immaculate. Spent most of our time on the back patio watching the birds drink out of the pool. Beds were very comfortable. This is the best vrbo house we have ever stayed in - and we have stayed at many in the past. Thank you Elma for your hospitality.
Hans and Elma have created a haven of peace, tranquility and relaxation. The desert, in all its magnificence, is on full display. Truly - both words and photos fall short in capturing the beauty and the feeling of MiraMontes. It is a phenomenal property and a visit with my family that I will always treasure. We look forward to booking again soon!
We stayed at MiraMontes for a month and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The mountain views from the house were spectacular as well as the colorful sunsets. The house itself was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The kitchen was a chef's dream. We ended up cooking most of our meals and the outside grill came in very handy. Our host, Elma, was a delight and very responsive to our needs. We would highly recommend MiraMontes for those considering a relaxing, private setting with all the amenities. Wayne and Lenore
This is a hidden gem. Nestled in the Catalina foothills, the view of the mountains and the dessert is unforgettable. We enjoyed our coffee on the back patio each morning watching the sun come up over the mountains. Evenings spent BBQing, relaxing in the hot tub and, well, the sunset is spectacular from this property. Hiking or biking at Catalina State Park, Saguaro National Park, visiting the Biosphere2 or the Observatory on Mt Lemon are only a short distance away. Tucson's Botanical Garden or shopping for art in Tubac are an easy day trip. But foremost, the home is warm and inviting. The house is fully stocked. Kitchen items, laundry, pool, everything you might need. The beds (and pillows) were comfortable. There is a large TV and a wonderful stereo system. If you are able to meet Elma, the owner, you will know why this house is so special. She and her husband clearly cared for this home with love. This is one of the best properties we have stayed (and we have traveled a lot) and I can highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.
Easy check-in and check -out. Great location and beautiful views and great privacy. A must stay in Tucson.
The home was everything it advertised and more. The views were spectacular, the house was awesome, clean, full of supplies and very comfortable. Our host was very accommodating and friendly. Our stay could not have been better, and we looking forward to returning next year if the place is available. It's just hard to put into words how great our vacation here was, but I would highly recommend it to anyone who would ask.
Our trip was awesome and the house, superb! Just far enough out to feel away from it all , but close enough to capture all the area has to offer. The back patio and deck views are the best , passing wildlife to enjoy, and the night sky all made it a great stay!
We have stayed at a lot of homes in the U.S. over the last 15 years. No previous experience compares to the beauty, quiet, comfort, and secluded nature of MiraMontes.
To my wife and me Mira Montes is a treasure in our eyes. It is perched on a hill with an incredible view of the Catalinas. Elma took excellent care of us and quickly addressed any of the small issues we had. Our bed, though listed as a queen is actually larger though I don't think it is a king either. It was very comfortable. Everything in the bathroom worked well. The kitchen is the best equipped of any rental in which we have stayed. Over the past few years that's about 10 different places, three in the Tucson area. I enjoy cooking and found the kitchen a pleasure to use. Sit outside in the shade of the back terrace and nature comes to you. We saw a few hawks, numerous other birds including flickers, hummingbirds and quail and turkey vultures riding the winds. Deer and coyotes wandered by. When we stayed it was a bit too cool to jump in the pool but as a foreground to the Catalina views it was excellent. We hope we can stay here again in the future.
