Great vacation house

Recently stayed at the One Mile Inn for a family vacation (4 adults, 2 kids ages 2.5 and 1 yr). The location is fantastic and very beautiful, with Sonoran desert scenery all around. The home is very close to the eastern section of Saguaro National Park (~20 minute drive) and Colossal Cave (~5 minute drive). Other attractions are a bit further away (~40 minutes to downtown Tucson), but things in the Tucson area tend to be pretty spread out anyway. There is a small town nearby with typical stores/gas and a couple of ok restaurants. The home is nicely furnished and has everything one could ask for in a vacation rental. The owners were very communicative and answered all of our questions promptly during the booking process. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit the Tucson area.

Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

The owners were very accommodating. The drive was a little longer on a dirt road than we thought, but driving instructions were exact. Once we arrived everything was nice and clean. A well stocked kitchen(not food but dishes,pots and pans), a great collections of DVD's to pick through. Enjoyed every bit of sitting in the spa and gazing at the stars. The only complaint would be the beds were lumpy and pillows were uncomfortable, but that's an easy fix. A great adventure!

Recommended for: Adventure seekers, girls getaway.

Owner response: Humm..pillow top beds and a variety of small to fluffy pillows to choose from.

This was the perfect location for our group, close to everything that we needed while we were away. Craig is a wonderful person to do business with, it was easy and seamless. The home was exactly as described, clean and well kept. Don't be put off by the access entrance, the roads are clearly marked and Craig made it easy with the land marks that he gave us for directions. The home is within 10 minutes of Walgreens and 20 minutes of a full shopping and gas complex. We were able to see Tombstone, Old Tucson, and many other attractions within an hour or so drive. We definitely want to come back, we cannot wait. Thank you Craig!!

Hi Craig, Just a note to let you know we had another delightful stay at 1-mile Inn. We enjoyed many a beautiful sunset from the front porch and Diane had her daily post-hike dip in the hot tub. By the way, as of this year it is now possible to mountain bike from the trail head at the N end of Alta Loma Rd. all the way to Hope Camp, picking up the AZ trail along the way. From Hope the AZ trail now continues (legally) northward to Pistol Hill Road. It is 7.4 miles one way, and the return trip is mostly down hill. This would be a good route for people at the beginner level of mountain biking (as compared to the more difficult sections farther south), although I also enjoyed the ride as an experienced biker. You might pass this info on to future residents at 1-mile Inn, who are interested in doing some mt biking. cheers, T&J

Such a great, clean, enjoyable house to stay in while visiting family in Tucson over Thanksgiving. Beautiful surroundings, quiet, clean, equipped with everything you could need and more. Definitely plan to re-visit here. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

My family and I had a great time at your home. The location was wonderful and the scenery was beautiful. We love that the home felt secluded up a mountain but was still close to restaurants and stores. The kids really enjoyed Colossal Cave and it was great to only have to drive 5 minutes to get to it. The home had plenty of space and everything we needed. We spent our nights relaxing on the deck and in the jacuzzi. The kids had a great time roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. We felt like we were camping but with the luxury of having nice beds and showers. Looking forward to spending another weekend up there soon!.

What a great get-away location for 5 of my friends from high school for our (now) annual get together. We wanted something close to where we all live in Southern Arizona, but "away from it all". One Mile Inn fit the need perfectly! Craig was so easy to work with, answered email promptly, and gave excellemt directions. The house had everything we needed, plus many things we didn't expect-truly a fully stocked rental. The views were lovely, especially at sunset on the deck. October is so beautiful in the desert! We went to the Art Show in Patagonia on Saturday - perfect outing and a beautiful drive. Thank you Craig. This weekend gets 5 stars!

Hi Craig and Connie, Steve and I had a wonderful quite time at your wonderful home! It was a thrill to be up close and person to Barrel and Saguaro Cactus. Your home was very relaxing and it was so quite. Nice to leave a window open at night to feel the nice cool night temps during Sept! Your hot tub was a treat every morning watching the sun coming up.. We started our tub up when we arrived home in Maryland. Steve and I can't wait to return soon! Thanks for being a great landlord to us! Hope to see you soon! We will be back! I miss the views already!

It was a great week. Sitting on the front porch early in the morning watching the sun come up over the mountains and again in the evening watching it go down in the west, feeling the cool breeze, listening to the donkey bray, coyotes howling, and the little long eared rabbit go to and fro on the dirt road......what can you say except it was a beautiful time to sit, relax and reflect upon the important things of life.......Even the mile of dirt/rocky road into the cabin was something to experience. The place had everything you wold want for the time you're there. It is truly a place to "forget" the outside world and just unwind, even though you could go in any direction and see all your wanted to see of Arizona. We highly recommend it to anyone.......Chuck & Nona and George & Carolyn

We enjoyed the 7 days we spent here. The cool morning and evenings sitting on the porch listening to the trains go by, the donkey braying and looking out acrfoss the desert was a a special time for us. There were 2 couples and we thoroughly enjoyed the roominess we had during our stay. We highly recommend it tor anyone wishing to find a place that is reasonable with their rent. It was great and we thank you very much. Chuck and Nona, George and Carolyn

We had a great time at one mile inn. It was a bit of an adventure driving up the "mountain" but was really no problem at all. The house had everything we needed and more! We can't wait to come back.

We just returned from 10 days at 1 Mile Inn and we're already talking about when we can go back. The house is immaculate and the most comfortable place we've ever stayed away from home. The desert is stunning and the jacuzzi is relaxing, but it was all the little extras that really made a difference - the bottled water readily available (believe it or not, this is usually a huge expense for us when we travel), the toiletries and hair dryers thoughtfully left for us, the condiments in the refrigerator, the movies and books to peruse, the binoculars to scan the horizon. And it's so charmingly decorated - my son had a great time exploring through the house and especially enjoyed the canned rattlesnake! Though I was most impressed by the family photo taken with Jimmy Buffett - fins up! Thanks again, and we look forward to our next visit! -Lisa C.

We want to thank you for allowing us to use your vacation rental. Everything about the house was perfect. The house has great eye appeal and you have done a wonderful job filling the house with the comforts of home. Everything we needed was there for us to use. We will definitely recommend others we know to contact you and stay at the 1 Mile Inn when in the Tucson area.

January 7th thru 14th 2009 An true oasis in the Tucson desert. We just spent a wonderful week here at the 1 mile Inn. Being from Chicago we wanted a place to escape the frigid winter weather back home. The 1 mile Inn turned out to be a real gem. After spending time enjoying all the natural wonders that the Tucson area has to offer it was great to come back to such a comfortable and peaceful place. We highly recommend this property and will definitely be back. Keith and Kathy LeDez Aurora Illinois

The view was absolutely beyond amazing! I think I had the best night's sleep I've ever had in my life. I will definitely be back! In fact, given how incredibly peaceful it is, I may just come back to write my next book here. Thanks Craig and Connie! Sincerely, Lisa Quast Author, President of Career Woman, Inc.
