Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Living in the Arctic north of Norway, we want to share our Tucson condominium with you when we are enduring the long winter nights. Our condominium is situated right on one of Tucson's best golf courses (Golf Club at Vistoso). The area is meticulously maintained, and you will love living, playing, swimming and hiking in this area.
Our upstairs condo is one of many in this area, but you will find small Norwegian touches to your desert vacation experience.
We have recently updated our stereo system to BOSE, and included an iPod/iPhone docking port.

Why the Owner Chose Oro Valley
We love contrasts, and the Sonoran desert is as far away from the Arctic as possible. Tucson also offers all the attractions we enjoy.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We ususally start the day by hiking 1-3 hours in the surrounding mountains followed by a delicious "fruit and cereal" breakfast on the porch. The rest of the day can be spent shopping, dining, sunbathing or just relaxing. We also enjoy the desert wildlife in the morning and at dusk. Rattlesnakes, gila monsters, javelinas, coyotes, rabbits, road runners and deer have all been observed nearby.
Owner's Map of Oro Valley
My wife and I bought this condo in 2005. We love hiking in the surrounding mountains as well as just soaking up the sun by the pool. Our winter home is in the Arctic north of Norway where we live close to children and grandchildren. A big photo of the Grand Canyon is our reminder of Arizona.

Dear potential guests, We bought this condo in 2005 after visiting the Tucson area several times. We live in the land of the midnight sun in North Norway. In the winter there is no sun above the horizon for two months, and we really love coming over to our Tucson condo. It is the perfect place for us - wonderful hiking trails (we love Catalina State Park and Pichacio Peak State Park), swimming (in the pool) and shopping at La Encantada. We hope you will enjoy our place as much as we do every time we are there. Liv and Vinjar
