About this property

Looking for a getaway? BEAUTIFUL & PRIVATE Guest House! Hiking - Biking - Relax

Beautiful home in a quiet and scenic area.

Our guest house is nestled on 5 acres in the foothills of the Tucson mountains. We are 1/4 of a mile within walking and mountain biking trails. We are 10 miles from downtown Tucson and 10 miles from the desert museum.

While staying here there is a very good chance you will see deer and other wildlife come through the yard. We are in a very quite area but close enough to downtown Tucson. We are 20 miles from the Tucson airport.

We have just completed a total remodel - new bedding, new granite, 2 new bathrooms, new paint and an alarm system. One TV in the main living room and one in the master bedroom - both have direct TV. Black out shades in the master bedroom.

We do live on the same property - close to the guest house but you will have total privacy. We have rented previous and all renters have commented on the privacy that they have. We are here if you have any questions or concerns or would like any tourist information. Just let us know what you need!

We love it and keep coming back

This was our 3rd stay at Monica's guest home. It is so amazing to wake up to the beautiful views of the desert; the house has large picture windows in the front. There is so much wildlife that passes through the property and it was fun to try to spot coyotes, javelina, hares and birds every morning and evening. Despite the natural beauty and wildlife, this home is very convenient to the city of Tucson. I highly recommend this home, it is beautiful inside and out.

Spring Weekend in Tucson

My wife and I selected this property so we would be in close proximity to the Marana TIMPA airstrip to see our son compete with his DBF team that had traveled down from Colorado for the weekend. The home was about 30 minutes from the TIMPA facility. We drove through the Saguaro National Park to get there; which turned out to be some of the most picturesque desert southwest scenery in Arizona. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The vacation home and the surrounding property were absolutely stunning. Extremely relaxing in and around the updated guest home. Very quiet neighborhood well off main roads. Huge panoramic picture windows on every wall of the house looking out over beautiful desert surroundings. Saw far more sonoran wildlife out the windows of the home than we did while we were out hiking. Best advice I can give is to alot plenty of time to relax at the house and let the birds and animals come to you. Amazing sunsets behind western Tucson mountain peaks off the back patio. Host was very friendly, accessible, and communicative before, during and after the stay. Don't miss out on this experience. Highly recommended. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
