This house was so clean, so comfy, well stocked with literally anything we needed, and had the best view! So many seating options for all times of the day. We laid out at night and watched the stars, drank coffee and watched the sunrise, and enjoyed the evening sunset views. It was convenient to hiking, stores and restaurants but also far enough out you could escape and enjoy peace!!!

We felt the warmth and welcoming intentions of this stay as soon as we got out of our car. Lovely desert art inside and outside. The thoughtful snacks and cold water waiting for us really hit the spot after our drive to Tucson. We appreciated the beautiful landscaping of the property. Every corner offers a place for peace and reflection as well as fun and connection. It was the desert experience we desired.

Desert hideaway

This perfectly appointed, well organized and comfortable little space provided exactly what we needed for preparing meals and sleeping well after daytime adventures and evening hikes. Located approximately 200' from the nearest trail into the park, we had nearly unlimited access to explore without having to drive to a trailhead.

The place was very clean and well maintained. The owner was a delight to deal with. It has neighbors and a dog barked constantly which made our sitting outside less enjoyable and we could hear through windows. But it was nice to walk across the street into the dessert.

Desert oasis, unbelievable views. Spotless.

We absolutely loved our stay. We have high cleanliness standards and it exceeded our expectations. The views are unreal. We were excited to get back to our place after hikes each day. The bird sounds and sunrise and sunset couldn’t be beat. Extra touches like coffee supplied, a lot of bath towels, stocked kitchen, washing machine with detergent, paper towels, and dish soap all supplied was very handy. We LOVED it!!

Family Time in Paradise

We flew in to visit our adult son and this place was beyond perfect for a laid back, peaceful visit. We spent lots of time taking in the beautiful view from the property (it was even better than the pictures) and took long walks taking in the scenery. The kitchen was fully equipped to make our family favorite meals. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and take in some out-of-this world views.

This Tiny house was great! It had everything we needed and more! So many little extras were provided. Snacks, coffee and creamers, laundry detergent, and so much more. If you don’t mind a tiny space, stay here! It IS on a very bumpy dirt road, but we have a truck so it wasn’t a problem! Very private, and fully gated!
