We used this home for our executives for an event at the Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain, they loved it. Was a great choice of homes. Owner is very nice and the maid service is great.

We are from Canada and this is our first time to Arizona. We booked the house for 14 days. As I had never rented a house on line before I was rather leary of leaving my information and deposit to a name. Laurie Ann was very accomadating and understanding. She wrote a few times to me after which I felt more than comfortable with the Home Away Program. We arrived during the day and rented a car enjoying a scenic drive down to Marana. It was fun watching my guests faces as I had only told them where the house was and they trusted my judgement...faces in awe at the lovely home we drove up to. I loved the gated community and felt safe walking, jogging and cycling around the area. The home had everything we needed for luxury and more. As the weather was in the 80's at times we loved swimming and hot tubbing on a daily basis. The Gallery golf course was terrific. We travelled to Old Tucson for a day, spent time on scenic drives, golfed and went to Phoenix. It's too bad the house is for sale as I would most definitely consider renting this home again. Laurie Ann and family, your house is beautiful, maintained and more than easy to relax and have fun enjoying a Christmas with no snow. The excitment was seeing roadrunners, coyotes trotting across the front yard almost everyday....but seeing a javalina was standing in the shade beside a walking path was very cool!! As we returned home, and to work in Canada the temperature is now -22 F with the wind chill, and still my students go out for recess!!! (I teach elementary school). Thank you for a wonderful experience!! Laurie

This home was so much more than my husband and I expected. The owners have thought of everything to make staying here a wonderful experience and they supplied helpful information on the nearby activities. The surrounding landscape was beautiful and just sitting in the hot tub or pool made you feel as if you were in a luxury spa.I would highly recommend this property to friends or relatives.

Phenominal Experience!!!!!!!!!!

The home is really wonderful and the pictures truly do not do it justice. The pool and hot tub were absolutely perfect, as was their proximity to every point in the house. It was a thoroughly fantastic experience all around. The golf at the Ritz and The Gallery was as good as it gets. The warm afternoons by the pool could also not have worked out better. You have a beautiful home. ? Anyway, it was a wonderful experience and the home was a very large part of our overall enjoyment. Thanks so much again, for making it really easy and uncomplicated.

Well worth the thousands of miles we travelled!

We stayed at this beautiful property over Easter this year travelling over from the UK. Its located in the quiet Dove Mountain area of Tucson right next to a lovely golf course. The house is in pristine condition- quality fittings and fixtures all the way through. The kitchen had everything you need and all pans and cutlery were sparkly clean. Outside is plenty of shade as well as an area to sunbathe (us Brits need to sunbathe!!) and a super pool. Usually when we stay in rented villas everything is hidden away but it lovely see photos of the owners family which made you want to look after it even more :-) Laurie Ann thank you for being so friendly and trusting. We hope to return in the future x

Elegance

Guest: Chuck (S.L.C., Utah)
Date of Stay: 12/23/10 Review Submitted: 01/01/11

This home defines elegance. The panoramic views are unsurpassed, particularly the dynamic sunsets. Abundant wildlife (eg. coyotes and diverse bird species) and native plants make for exciting outings in your own backyard or in nearby parks and natural monuments. The setting is ideal for nature lovers and families. Amenities are first class. We recommend without any reservations whatsoever.

Awesome golf vacation

Date of Stay: 11/04/10 Review Submitted: 05/23/11

This house is absolutely stunning. What a perfect place for a golf vacation. The house/accomodations/decorations/instructions are just spot on. The owners made it extremely easy to "not have to worry about anything". These people are top notch and all about you having a good time. This house is top of line across the board. Right by both golf courses, what more could you ask for. We will be going back year after year for our event!!! Thanks!

This home is nothing short of Incredible

We could not believe it as we pulled in to this ALMOST mansion on Thursday evening just as the beautiful sun was setting to the west and arriving from Michigan to deliver both my daughter and my niece to the University of Arizona - There were 8 of us and being a home-away member we decided that for this particular trip a home would be so much better than hotel rooms- My daughter found this oasis on line and dealt with Laurie Ann- (WHO COULD NOT BE MORE WONDERFUL TO DEAL WITH) directly through all the planning stages of this trip. Upon Arrival we were breath taken by the size-and the qualilty of Lauries home - the incredible furnishings right down to the glass ware- it is all southwestern. My only question to Laurie Ann is why not DOUBLE your Rent - This has to be at Miniimum a 3 million doller place and yet dealing with Laurie Ann felt as though you were talking with your sister - What a pleasure!!!! She even gave My daughter some wonderful advise for her first year in school - Dove Mountain is spectaclar and soon the Ritz Carlton will be opened - But LaurieAnn - Have no fear they have nothing on your fabulous place- It backs right up to Dove Mountain and we must have seen 50 or more of the beautiful creatures flying about. So again I will thank you from the bottom of my heart- You have made memories for my self and our family that will not be forgotten and we hope that you will allow us back in your exquisite home again- It was truly outstanding :) Thank you so very much !!!!!!!!!!!!

Owner response:Lynn, We are so happy that you enjoyed the house. That is our main goal, for people to go and enjoy it as we do. We love it out there and are happy to share the house with others. We believe in the Rules of Life - Share with others! Thanks Laurie Ann

We just returned from a week in this lovely home. We could not have asked for more. The home is perfect and the owner a joy to work with. The location, amenities, and quality all exceded our expectations. We have stayed in many VRBO homes and can honestly say that this one was, by far, the most enjoyable. Thanks Laurie Ann! We hope to return soon... Ron & Linda Kendall

We just enjoyed a very comfortable week in this beautiful, well equipped home. While it sits on the golf course, it is very private. The house easily accommodates three couples. Groceries and refreshments are just down the hill, and quite accessible. The northern part of Tucson is still developing, but many decent restaurants are available within 15-20 minutes (along Oracle and its cross streets). Golfers have several nearby courses to choose from, in all price ranges, or can travel to many more via I-10. The owners are very helpful, and nice. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

We needed extra space to house all of our Thanksgiving guests and this property at the Gallery really fit the bill. Everything is new, clean and comfortable. It has all the amenities - full kitchen, pool, TV's, etc. My guests really enjoyed their stay.
