The Gable House was very charming, private, and comfortable. The high wall surrounding the property gave complete privacy. The neighborhood was quiet. We all felt very at home. The beds were comfortable. There were plenty of towels for showers as well as numerous towels designated for hot tub and pool use.

Great Tucson oasis

The house has so much character and a phenomenal backyard with tons of different seating arrangements. Our trip was a break from the Midwest ice and snow, so this was heaven.

terrific stay!

My extended family and I stayed at the Gable House when we came to Tucson for a memorial service for my older brother. It could not have been a nicer place to stay - lots of privacy, lovely outdoor patios and a beautiful interior. Kitchen is fully stocked, beds are very comfortable and the entire ambience is wonderful. We will come again!!

The house had everything we needed for our 7-night stay! Plenty of space, decorated beautifully, and so spacious and comfortable! The outside pool, hot tub and seating area was perfect! The house is quite old; it reflected so much charm but also had all the amenities you would need in the present day! Chris was a great host and super friendly! Would definitely come back again!

Gable house enjoyment

This a great historic property ina convenient location. For a group of friends who need separate bedrooms it worked perfectly. Nice to stay in something from the 30’s. Pool and outdoor areas are lovely. The house is very well equipped for most every need.

Interesting historic house

We liked staying here. The house is about 90 years old so some parts are not in tip top shape, but the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. There was nice outdoor furniture. We appreciated having the washer and dryer.

Tucson Trip

Property had plenty of room for family to spread out when needed but come together in the large living room and dining room. Enjoyed the pool area with hot tub, secured by a separate fence to keep little ones safe. Built in outdoor grill was also a nice feature. This is a 1932 vintage historical house but functional, obvious that the owner is investing in the property to make it even better.

Easy, Quaint, and Well-Equipped

The reservation and check-in process was easy and straightforward. Property was as described with 4 bedrooms, 2 of which have on-suite bathrooms. Jacuzzi, pool, fully loaded kitchen. Lots of space to hang out. We had issues with the internet;the host was very responsive but we ended up not being home long enough to deal with it. Trader Joe’s close and some good restaurants. Good location if looking for a diversity of activities which require you to go east one day, south another, west the third. We would stay here again!

Family Gathering

I found the Gable House when I was looking for a place for 7 family members to stay for my mom's memorial service. The house was perfect for our needs. All of us were from out of town. Two family members flew in from LA and another 2 from Illinois. Because of the timing of their flights, we asked the owner if we could check in early at 2:00. He was very gracious and allowed us to do. I will always treasure the memories of having the opportunity to gather with my family in this beautiful, historic, and spacious home. Having 3 bathrooms was an added plus!

Very enjoyable holiday stay

This is a unique historic house with lots of character and a lived-in, comfortable vibe. We especially appreciated the large, walled-in front courtyard, off-street parking, the well stocked kitchen (lots of pots and pans and dishes), the formal dining room (perfect for meals and game nights), the Christmas tree in the living room, and multiple seating areas in the backyard. The enormous window in the living room is unlike anything I've ever seen and is truly special. One of the bedrooms is tucked away past the kitchen, which is perfect for someone who prefers to go to bed early. The loft above the main living room came in handy when we needed to do a few hours of work at a desk. When we were there, only one bedroom had a king-size bed, which was different than what we had understood from the listing. The property manager was extremely responsive and friendly, both by phone and text. While there are more upscale neighborhoods in Tuscon, we were very pleasantly surprised by the convenience of this location and we felt safe there, including at night. There are plenty of excellent restaurants, cafes, shops, etc. within a mile or two of the house. All of this, plus the fact that our small dog was welcome, made this house a great choice for us and we are happy to have been able to stay there.

So lovely!

We rented the house because my sister was getting married in Tucson. The old-time glamour plus Mexican hacienda vibe were a perfect setting for a home base. Beautifully appointed, the pictures do not do it justice. Much larger than I expected. LOVE all the sets of doors opening out into the patio. We were able to prep all the flowers and bouquets for the wedding while feeling like we were at a resort. The neighborhood is circular and the Gable House is a spectacular centerpiece. The yard does back up against the neighbors' houses and you can occasionally hear their conversations but not a big deal at all. Lots of privacy. There is a gas firepit we didn't have time to use. Beautiful setting for pre-wedding photos and to relax the day after. It's a WOW kind of house!
