Our stay here could not have been better! The house was well appointed and beautiful and clean. The host thought of everything, from a welcome gift of delicious chips and salsa from the local gourmet grocery store, the fully stocked kitchen and all of the necessities a family might need for a week away from home.We loved the foothills location and enjoyed many walks around the neighborhood. I especially loved that it was behind my own elementary school!The host responded to all of my questions immediately and helpful. I would totally stay here again.
We even got to see some javalinas!
The Tucson desert is so beautiful!
Great views from Sabino Canyon
Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2026
