Near the Loop and a 4 minute drive to Saguaro National Park, our spacious, private home is perfect for the outdoor adventurist. After a day of hiking and desert exploration, relax in the spa and heated pool. Our Santa Fe style house has dedicated office space and an open floor plan, so its great for cooking meals and socializing. You’ll enjoy spectacular mountain views and breathtaking sunsets. Includes garage parking, W/D, fireplace, bbq. Located 25 minutes from downtown and the TucsonAirport.

-- The space --
Our home pays homage to the surrounding desert, with colors and objects that remind us of the amazing array of life teeming in our backyard. The house has an open floor plan with lots of light, so the rooms all flow into each other. The kitchen overlooks the living room, which makes it easy to prepare meals while interacting with other guests. The living room and primary bedroom both have Roku TVs. The living room is our cozy rustic desert area housing a large leather sectional with 3 recliners.
Bedroom 1 has a private bathroom with an amazing custom built shower and dual vanities. This bedroom, which has a king bed, is on a separate wing of the house.
Bedroom 2 has a California King bed and is our nod to the inspiring sunsets and natural beauty of the Sonoran dessert.
Bedroom 3 has a queen bed and is comfy with a traditional southwestern feel.
Bedroom 4 is a corner windowed office with a trundle bed, so it can be converted to a 2 twin bedroom.

The laundry facilities are great for extended stays and the 2.5 car garage has plenty of room for parking.

You'll likely spend much of your time in the backyard. We have a spacious lot with multiple seating/gathering areas and a stone wall around the perimeter. There's a plethora of native vegetation, such as ocotillos, saguaros, barrel cactus, prickly pear, and creosote bushes. BBQ grill is ready to go with 6 burners. The pool is great for those hot summer days. Pool heating is available for an extra $60/day (non-refundable). The spa is a great way to end the day (plan ahead - depending on the temperature, it takes 20 to 60 minutes to fully heat up).

We love our home and love our neighbors, so if you're looking to book a space for a party weekend, this place is not for you. We have zero tolerance for large, loud parties.

-- Guest access --
An access code will be sent on the morning of check-in. Parking in the 2 car garage is encouraged but there is also a large driveway available.

-- Other things to note --
Pool can be heated for an additional $60 per day to be remitted prior to arrival. Please make sure to pre-request pool to be heated as it takes up to 24 hours for it to warm to temperature. No refunds for this option.

    Nice property and great location! Hot tub a plus. Spacious areas for our family to gather. Host(s) always available for questions and provided a helpful itinerary/list of places to visit and things to do while in the area. Thank you!

    What a great Host and Home! The living spaces are large, the pool / hot tub are awesome, and the stars at night, amazing! If you're staying in Tucson for whatever reason, you've gotta stay here!

    We had a lovely stay at Ocotillo House. The location so close to Saguaro National Park East is perfect. The house is spacious, clean, nicely decorated, and very welcoming. All the important items (hot tub switches, outdoor lights, etc.) were clearly labelled, which was very helpful. We also found the booklet with guidelines about the house and suggestions for restaurants and local sites to be extremely useful. Every question that I had was already answered in the book. We enjoyed our Nordic experience of lounging in the hot tub and then going into the freezing cold pool. If you like a warm pool experience, don't let AZ fool you - just because it was near 90 during the day, the November nights get cold and keep that pool chilly. Pay for the heating if that is what you want. We also really enjoyed the dark sky aspect of the property. My husband brought his telescope and got some great images of the crab nebula from the back yard. I wish I could have met Matt and Clint in person, but my communications with Matt were very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this property and these hosts.

    Second time staying at this lovely home. Michigan family met up with Tucson family for a wonderful vacation. The house is stocked with everything you would need. We used the pool and hot tub everyday. Such a relaxing and pleasant home. Will definitely stay again.

    Clint and Matt have a very clean and well maintained property. Loved that it had a desert feel to it since not all properties in the area do. Our family enjoyed the pool and hot tub by day and loved relaxing on the back lanai in the evening. Such a peaceful place. Was a little surprised the pool was as cool as it was in June but I was the only one that really seemed to notice. We would definitely love to stay here again when we come to visit my brother and his family.

    We loved our stay at Ocotillo House. The home is very clean and spacious. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor areas which were clean and had shaded areas to sit. The location is close to restaurants and groceries. The owners, Matt and Clint checked in with us to make sure everything was ok. We would definitely stay here again.
