Week at Quail Crossing

Met / exceeded expectations. Roomy, clean, good digital communications with owner. No hassles whatsoever. Stargazed and watched hawks and woodpeckers on the saguaros and quail in the underbrush. No javalinas but did get serenaded by coyotes.

Great location for nature enthusiasts

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay of several weeks at this well appointed home. From colorful sunrises and sunsets the views of the Catalinas and Twin Peaks were magnificent. From the back patio we saw coyotes, jackrabbits, javalinas and several species of birds in the Sonoran desert landscape. We really liked our ability to go for a hike or cycle without needing to drive, but Catalina State Park, Saguaro West NP, Tortolita Preserve, Honeybee Canyon were all a short drive away. You're also not far from Oro Valley and Tucson restaurants but the nearby Whole Foods, Traders Joes and Frys made dining in easy. Mike was a wonderful host and we would stay here again.

Great location for cyclists

Nice house in a very nice neighborhood. Pleased to have a garage to safely store our bikes. Loved that the house backed up to undeveloped desert. Nearby walking trail was well maintained. Saw lots of wildlife...quail, owls, hawks, javalina, coyotes...very fun. Close to trails for riding and just a few minutes' drive to Dove Mountain brewery with yummy beer and food. Communications with the owner were excellent. A few minor things in need of repair but owner was responsive to taking care of them...nothing that detracted from our stay.

Nice house, but dirty and uncomfortable beds

I reserved this house for a group of friends coming in for a guys trip; their feedback on the house was that it was nice, but it's wasn't clean when they arrived (they gave it a 2 out of 5 on cleaning when they first checked in) and they also gave the beds a comfort rating of 2 out of 5. They said they were very uncomfortable - location was great for our needs, but less than impressed overall.

Dove Mountain Experience

Communications with the host, excellent. I'd give him 6 stars if that option was available. The home is beautiful, inside. The refrigerator with the fancy twin-door on the right side is really neat, for easy access to cold drinks. The home also has two TV's, with electric theatre chairs too. The reasons that we can't give it (cleanliness of property) 5 stars are two: The home didn't have a soft water system, and the water is very hard. I should mention that the host (Mike) said that he is considering having soft water installed. The beautiful home has a large mesquite tree in the front yard that continually drops pods and leaves all over the yard, driveway and into the front door entrance. It is really messy! The tree also drips sap onto that side of the driveway, so we couldn't park one of our cars there. If you only have one or two vehicles, just park inside the garage or on the other side of the driveway. The neighborhood is wonderful (and quiet), the view out the back porch is great (no homes out there, just pretty desert). The neighbors on either side are very nice.

Fabulous view and tons of space for gathering

This place exceeded our expectations. It is much bigger than it looks in pictures. We were visiting family and had plenty of space to have them over to our place to eat and hang out. The patio has a spectacular view and was great for hanging out also. Mike was very attentive to our needs and checking in and out was easy.

House review

The house was great, and had everything we needed for a short stay. The owner reached out a couple times before and during our stay and was very easy to deal with. The house was only about a fifteen to twenty minute drive into Tucson, depending where your going.

Winter in the desert

Nice home base for our family to explore Tucson and southeastern Arizona. Plenty of room to unwind and spread out. Well set up kitchen was a plus. Enjoyed being away from the traffic and noise of the city. Only shortcoming was the beds were rather firmer than most of our party prefers.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Quatsoe

We live in Washington State, and we love enjoying the natural setting of our house in Marana. Great views and animals roaming in the preserve.

We bought this house as we enjoy hiking and biking - and there are tons of trails nearby. The world class golf courses nearby are also a treat.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet with many long-term residents. Our house has a view of a natural preserve from the patio which has amazing sunsets and wild animals who live right behind us.

We see javelinas, coyotes, birds, owls, and many other critters from the safety of our patio

What makes this property unique

Our house is new, and we decorated it to be comfortable as well as not cluttered. The patio's view is lovely, so we spent time adding comfortable outdoor furniture and small propane gas pit for winter months.
