Overview
Cabin, 3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Bath, (Sleeps 10)
This gorgeous mountain home is located in the Santa Catalina Mountains located in the Coronado National Forest north of Tucson, Arizona. It is located in Mt. Lemmon which is 9,157 feet above sea-level and receives approximately 180 inches of snow annually. Summerhaven is the beautiful small town near the top of the mountain. This home is within walking distance to this town. It is a summer residence for some Tucson residents. It is near Ski Valley which is the southernmost ski destination in the US.
This beautiful home is two levels of spacious living. The views are breath taking and especially while sitting out on the beautiful stone patio under the star lit sky, among over 80 fruit trees. There is a built in fire pit located on the patio next to the built in BBQ grill and includes patio set. The kitchen is fully equipped for entertaining family and guests. This serene setting is always 45 degrees cooler in the summer than Tucson! Temperatures range anywhere from 60 to 75 degrees in the summer. There are many hiking trails, all of which we have information on located in the cabin for your enjoyment. Also located near this home is the incredible University of Arizona, Mt. Lemmon Sky Center. This SkyCenter presents programs all nights of the week and during the days in summer months. Information for reservations also available in the home. This program is an exceptional science learning facility!
Also located near this home is the Rose Canyon Lake and resort. This lake is surrounded by Pondersoa Pines and although this area burned during the devastating Aspen Fire of 2003, many of the larger trees survived. The Catalina Highway, also called the Mt. Lemmon Highway runs up the Santa Catalina Mountains, from the east of Tucson up to Summerhaven. Get your camera out for the ride up, there are plenty of stops along the way for stopping for breathtaking views and photos.

About Carolyn LeCocq
Al is a native Tucsonan and Carolyn is originally from Minnesota and has lived in Tucson for over 35 years. We absolutely love the desert and the beautiful mountain life.
Carolyn LeCocq purchased this cabin in 2003
Why Carolyn LeCocq chose Arizona
Al is a Tucson custom home builder and built our home on Mt. Lemmon originally in 2003. We had it finished about one year when the ASPEN fire took it along with about 350 other homes. Nothing was left except a small angel we had in our cabin and the tin roof. We immediately started the process and rebuilt the exact same cabin again! We loved the layout and did not change anything.
What makes this cabin unique
We enjoy the quiet, peaceful, serenity that is felt while up on the mountain. The air is fresh and the smell is clean. The birds sing and the days are quiet. We love to relax, prepare a wonderful meal, watch movies, catch up on our reading, hike and enjoy the quiet evenings while watching the beautiful star lit skies.
Guestbook comments from the owner
The stay at your cabin was an absolute blessing. Everything was in order, neat, clean and very restful. We enjoyed a great night sleep, wonderful fellowship and the atmosphere up here in Summerhaven was beyond description.
Thank you for providing this place to stay along with all the amenities. We all LOVED it!
Be Blessed!
Gracias!

Amazing
It was perfect and so peaceful. We love it.
Thank you. I really recommend this place 💯✔
Great!
We rented the entire cabin and had a great stay. There were 11 of us and we each had own bed which was nice. The bedrooms were nice, the bathrooms sufficient (although if you all want to shower or go in the hot tub I would suggest bringing your own towels up). Kitchen was fully stocked with plates, cups, silverware, etc so that was great. Mouse pellets in the cupboards but you are in the mountains, so of course! we did see a mouse on the second floor that we successfully chased out :-) The upstairs deck is a little unsteady (especially the railing going down) but as long as you are careful you can navigate it just fine. We were all able to sit and congregate and have a good time. The cleaning was not difficult to do, we brought a few large sturdy garbage bags to transport the garbage down the mountain. There are coffee filters. (I would suggest whoever cleans to make sure they check the coffee pots, there were some old moldy grounds left in the pot downstairs but nothing a little elbow grease could not handle). Wi Fi password is on the table on the directions, not in the books. If you get a chance to put it in the books, that would be great. Owners were very easy to reach and communicated quickly. We must have made a skunk mad, he sprayed around or toward the cabin all weekend. but we lit candles and had some febreeze that seemed to help. Overall a good stay! We would go there again!
Not worth the cost.
Place was non functional for TV, PC wifi or downstairs shower. Lower area grill area was a mess and looked unused for a long period of time. Owner was extremely difficult to contact and left us confused as to what unit we were renting. When we informed her we were in the upper unit, she informed us it was more expensive and charged me $150 extra for the 2 day stay or move to the lower unit. As we were all unpacked, we chose not to move again. Total experience was not a unit I would recommend.
Hiking with a watermelon.
Drive way is so steep i was afraid to go up the driveway with my van. But i packed so much food for the 2 day of stay...with three kids. It took an hour getting our belonging up the driveway and all i could put in my mouth was 800 mg of ibuprofen.
Turns out we were on the bottom of two cabins so naturally the guests above were providing enough noise to interupt our quiet glass of wine after putting the kids down to sleep. You hear everything!!!
So do yourself a favor and rent the one cabin on the top!
Wonderful!
Pastors attending the Pastor Prayer Summit thoroughly enjoyed their stay! Thanks so much!!
Amazing stay!!
Had a great time at the cabin. Had everything we needed. really felt like home. We stayed in the top larger cabin and it was awesome and huge. Jacuzzi was nice too! There were only 2 of us, but would easily accommodate 10. Definitely would recommend and plan to stay in that one again. Didn't have any issues so didn't need to contact the owners. Wonderful time! Thank you!
