And remember to leave the home in the same way you found it. If you move furniture, please put it back the way you found it. Enjoy our home as if it were yours. Thanks!!
William Hubbard purchased this house in 2000
Why William Hubbard chose Tanque Verde
This was the perfect property for us when we purchased it in 2000. It is on a little over an acre of land, and was just big enough to accommodate our 2 donkeys, 3 dogs and 2 cats. It is just outside the city limits...literally! The animals are now with us on Maui…well not the donkeys…they are living on a wonderful ranch north of Tucson.
We have a wide variety of wildlife here, and our guests like the seclusion and peacefulness that surrounds them.
We didn't know how to market the property, but Vicki came up with The Bed and Burro. We had 2 donkeys and at the time I don't believe there was another rental that has pet donkeys on the property!! Quill, is our rescue donkey from Nevada and Jasper is our newest. They no longer are on the property...they live on a beautiful ranch near Aravaipa Canyon, but there memory is still present.
What makes this house unique
Your stay here will be peaceful and relaxing. Your casita comes fully equipped with a full kitchen, laundry facilities, linens and towels. You have your own carport and parking area and the benefits of the entire grounds to rest and relax.
You might be lucky enough to see some of the wildlife here including many bird species, javelina, bobcats, coyotes, and lots of rabbits!
We are very close to outdoor activities including the Saguaro National Monument East, Mt. Lemmon and Sabino Canyon. Many guests use this as a base for day trips to Tombstone, Karchner Caverns and Mexico.

Excellent!

Awesome home with so much character - pictures do not do it justice
I was taken aback seeing the love and care put into this home. My entire family was very impressed with all the different living areas and the details the Hubbards put into every room. The outside areas were very inviting and relaxing. Really, the only disappointment was the vacuum in pool had not been cleaned out, and the patio and furniture had to be wiped down and vacuumed upon arrival. I highly recommend this property to others and would love to stay there again. Robin Zingales
Great stay!
Very happy with property and owners. Spacious home in great location for our activities. Thanks!
Ideal place to stay--comfortable and convenient with great service from owner
We thoroughly enjoyed our return to Bill Hubbard's Hacienda and have made arrangements for a return stay. The house is comfy and has nice southwest character. The location is very convenient for all the wonderful activities in the Tucson area. Lots of birds and wildlife. And Bill and his staff provide excellent, responsive service.
Outstanding in every way!
We stayed 5 weeks in mid Jan to mid Feb. we were so satisfied we plan to return next year and stay for 7. The house is large and very comfortable. Two hvac systems to adjust the temps throughout the house. My wife has some difficulty with steps. To get into the house no steps. Huge walk in stepless shower in mbr. Four bed rooms. My adult son works from home and with us. Plenty of desk. Good location, close to parks, supermarket, drug stores, coffee shops, etc, Two miles, one traffic light. 2 minutes. Owner very accommodating and easy to reach by phone. Mike, local caretaker is responsive, easy to reach and very accommodating. Considering the size of the house, its condition, large landscaped front, rear and side yards we think it is a very good value. There is nothing bad to report. Road it is on is a bit rough but only a tenth of a mile. Grill is old and needs cleaning but fully functional but Bill, the owner says he will do something about it. Many, many light switches, ask Mike for a primer. If you like Mercy, who knows the house will clean it for you at a reasonable price. Fully functional kitchen with breakfast bar. This is a big house, maybe 2500 sf, so many rooms it is hard to say. We were 3 and spread out all over. Family of 6 or more could function here. Nice pool but we did not ask for it to be heated or use it. But lovely to sit around. Could be tricky with young kids as no fence around it. In general, no complaints, everything was splendid.
Beautiful Desert Escape
We had a wonderful time at the Hubbard's Hacienda. The house was spacious and well appointed with nice decorations. The outdoor patio, grill and bar area were beautiful and enjoyable to use. It was just outside of city limits so minutes from Catalina Highway (up to Mt. Lemmon) and Saguaro National Park East. It was easy to be in contact with the owner and his property manager throughout our stay. We highly recommend this desert home for your next getaway.
Wonderful
We had the most wonderful stay at the hacienda. The pool was cool and refreshing and the house was much better than the pictures or previous reviews led us to expect.
It's a big comfortable ranch style home with all the amenities you could need including anything for cooking and fun including board games. The desert is absolutely breathtaking. Surrounded by creosotes and mesquites it's my favorite area around Tucson. We enjoyed watching the monsoons and unbelievsble Arizona sunsets and wildlife. We had visits from a roadrunner, watched a morning dove make a nest and quietly tiptoed by the nesting hummingbird hanging under the side patio. We truly felt at home and also like we were on a vacation. Bill was a terrific host. Thank you Hubbords for a great couple weeks in Tucson.
