  We came back to Tucson for a 2-week winter stay, as we have done before in several previous years. This time, we wanted to try something in the eastern foothills, fairly close to Sabino Canyon and its great walks. This rental had all the things we wanted, at a reasonable price. The location is great for visiting sights on the northeast side of town, and is very convenient for shopping for food (Bashas is just across the street) or snagging some good Mexican food nearby at El Charro. There is a small back balcony, which only has a view of the hillside directly to the south, but is a delight in other ways. The winter sun in the afternoons is quite pleasant for sipping wine out there, and many times, hummingbirds would buzz up to us for a close look. One afternoon, we heard some unfamiliar clicking noises down below and discovered a herd of 9 javelinas passing slowly by, right below our balcony, paying no attention to us. Wild Tucson is never far away.

  We rented this very nice condo for a week of cycling. Lori was more than helpful from helping us with our gear to put us in touch with local riders. I had my bike shipped to a local bike shop Lori referred to me and she even picked it up to bring it to the condo before I got there. She even brought a floor pump in the garage. The condo is near really nice rides, Mt-Lemmon and Sabino Canyon being the most spectacular ones. Everything is close by (grocery store, restaurants). It is a full kitchen with an amazing view of Catalina Mountain. Nous avons loué ce très beau condo pour une semaine de vélo. Lori nous a donné un précieux coup de main avec notre équipement, mais aussi en nous mettant en contact avec des cyclistes locaux. J'ai expédié mon vélo à un magasin de vélo que Lori m'a recommandé et elle a même été chercher mon vélo qui était au condo à mon arrivée. Lori nous avait aussi fourni une pompe a vélo. Le condo est près de très beaux parcours, Mt-Lemmon et Sabino Canyon étant les plus spectaculaires. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut à un jet de pierre du condo (restaurants, épicerie). C'est une cuisine complète avec une superbe vue de Catalina Mountain.

  We enjoyed your lovely, spacious apartment and had a very pleasant time in the Tucson area. We especially appreciated being so close to Sabino (4 minutes by car) and the other canyons (10-20 minutes). We spent 2-3 hours each day hiking in Sabino, Ventana and along the Finger Rock trails. We were also very pleased to be so close to a fine super market and some very nice restaurants. The view of the Catalina mountains from the apartment is marvelous.

  We are cyclists and outdoor enthusiats who spent 2 weeks at this condo. The location is very convenient for many reasons: grocery store and restaurants (inclucing El Charro) across the street, several excellent hiking trailheads within 1 mile (including Sabino Canyon), great start location for cycling, and it's a quiet, safe location. Inside the condo is clean and spacious. The beds are so comfortable. We cooked many meals and yes, it is a "full" kitchen as it has everything you would need to prepare a meal (and it's not the cheap stuff!) Finally, Lori is a great owner who was available when needed but left us to enjoy our vacation when we didn't. She even put up a hummingbird feeder on the balcony when she found out I was a 'birder'.

  We enjoyed this beautifully decorated, comfortable condo for two months. The space felt like an apartment in a major European city, but with an amazing view of the Santa Catalina Mountains. All the amenities made us feel at home. The owners, Lori and Jeff were immediately responsive to any small needs that arose. We look forward to returning very soon.

  I have lived in Tucson for the past 14 years and needed a place to stay while transitioning into a new house. This condo was a wonderful getaway, the views are great, shopping is close and the outdoors are at your back door (or patio). This condo is an excellent choice with all the comforts of home! The only down side I could see for some (I loved it) is with views this great come stairs, in this case 40 steps from the car to the front door which I could see being tough for some people.

  Nice condo in a what was a great location for us, with easy access to Sabino Canyon, Mt. Lemmon, and Saguaro East. Quiet and restful base camp. Nicely decorated (not SW tho) and well-equiped. Lori and Jeff were very accommodating and helpul, but respected our space. We would definately stay there again - - we hope to return in a year or so - - and will recommend it highly to anyone headed for the Tucson area. The condo is in a gated community, across the street from a good grocery store and several good restaurants. We sat on the back balcony and ate breakfast with the hummingbirds several mornings. One morning we were surprised to see a large Jackrabbit bolt across the hillside right behind the condo. Its an excellent location within the condo complex, having a undeveloped hillside behind it. We were very happy with it and will return. If you want to stay out near Sabino Canyon, this is a grat deal and a grat place to stay. Thanks, Lori and Jeff.
