About this property

Mountain View’s. Stunning Sunset’s. Outdoor Activities. Minutes From Downtown.

Relax. Wind down. Kick back.
at our "Desert Steampunk Studio," located in beautiful Southern Arizona (Tucson). The newly built space has Italian tiled floors, a paint pallet inspired by the 1920s Great Gatsby era, and southwestern furniture for an iconic golden age feel. The location is a rural hat-trick sitting on the edge of a natural desert valley with beautiful mountain views and stunning sunsets. It is close to fantastic desert hikes and minutes from downtown Tucson, the University of Arizona, and some of the territory's best restaurants. It's truly a unique desert stay!

Thoughtfully warm reception from Milan! The place was clean, comfortable and perfect for our stay at Tucson with our fur baby. It felt as if we were staying with family or friend. The porch light was left on for us and upon arrival, there were snacks and refreshments; which was much needed after driving from Cottonwood. Wished we stayed long enough to enjoy a fireside s’more or explore the backyard. We would stay there again!

pleasant and convenient with friendly host

This room was quiet, comfortable, spacious, and clean. Convenient location near food and tourist destinations. Milan was very welcoming and helpful, and supplied us with some excellent snacks. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio for coffee in the morning and sunsets in the evening. The place was a little hard to find after dark, as it is in an unlit neighborhood(a nice thing!) and the street signs are old and dim, so I recommend arriving during daylight. We would stay here again.

Wonderful surroundings

The sunset view is the best in Tucson, I think.The patio looks over a wash full of natural beauty with no nearby lights and just natural sounds. An owl lives next door and hoots at night. The neighborhood is quiet.Our hosts were full of advice for activities and went out of their way to accommodate us.We had a great time there!

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Calendine - AKA - Milan

Host profile image
Raised in Tucson, graduated from college in Portland OR, and currently working in the field of geophysics back in Tucson. I love the desert and all it has to offer. An avid traveler, I have traveled across the US, Canada, and South America. I enjoy people, conversation, and laughing. My hobbies are photography, cycling, and reading.

Why they chose this property

Before starting my career in geophysics, I had a small contracting business. I was recommended as a landscape contractor to the previous house owner by an existing client in the area. While working on the house, the owner and I became friends due to the unique way the house was built. As an environmental scientist, I was intrigued by the construction. The house was constructed as a concrete standup designed as a passive solar house in the early 1980s. It was built like a bomb shelter with 6-inch thick solid concrete walls on the edge of a desert arroyo. The previous owner was fixing it up to sell, so I bought it.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits are its location, construction, design, and outdoor activities. Its location is rural yet close to amenities like downtown Tucson, the University of Arizona, and outdoor activities. The construction is new, with high-end fixtures, floors, and outside spaces. The design is desert steampunk. For outdoor activities, there are golf courses, driving ranges, beautiful desert hikes, and cycling on the loop (130 miles of a shared-use path along the desert washes/rivers).
