About this property

Welcoming and peaceful desert oasis guest suite

A short 15-minute drive from I-10 brings you to peaceful Rancho Vegano, nestled against the Rincon Mountains on the east side of Tucson. Our welcoming 700 sq ft private apartment is on a four-acre property next door to Saguaro National Monument East, close to a host of trails for hiking and mountain biking, as well as Colossal Cave, Pima Air and Space Museum, and Monthan Air Force Base, Tanque Verde Falls, and Mount Lemmon. Whether you're looking for a peaceful oasis to relax in or a base from which to enjoy outdoor pursuits, Rancho Vegano is ideally located.

Although we live in the main house on the property, we appreciate and respect guest privacy. Contactless check-in and check-out are standard unless otherwise requested. We are available in person when needed.

We respect diversity and inclusion, and we're proud to welcome guests of all races, faiths, genders, and sexual orientations.

West trip
Best place we stayed on the whole trip. Has a home feel instead of motel feel. Beautiful area! Lovely pool. Only thing I would add is accessibility to ice. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Great location and beautiful room
A 4-minute drive to Saguaro National Park East Entrance. The Room is spacious and comfortable. Beautiful layout with separate dining area. Most comfortable bed I slept on, not sinking soft mattress as most places, nice and firm but not hard. Wish we had stayed longer to tryout the vegan cuisine! The host is super responsive and helpful.

Beautiful location & peaceful environment
Lovely bed & breakfast near Saguaro National Park East. The apartment was very private and had amazing views of the mountains (especially by the pool). There is a private carport for the apartment, which is great so your car is out of the sun on a hot day. Everything was very clean and had lovely thoughtful touches (like weighted blankets, eco friendly mugs, Tucson hiking books and extra pool towels just to name a few). Colin was very responsive to any questions we had and was very accommodating. I wish we had more time, so we could have enjoyed some add on services. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to our family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with and bought this property in 2021 and have spent over a year renovating the guest suite. We loved the feeling of peace and serenity the property has being away from the main road. We have amazing views of the mountains surrounding Tucson and get to see world-class sunrises and sunsets. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, you've come to the right place :)

What makes this property unique

We have amazing views of the mountains surrounding Tucson and get to see world-class sunrises and sunsets. Relaxing in the seasonally heated saltwater pool (typically open April thru October - weather and temperatures permitting) and star gazing is a must! If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, you've come to the right place :)
