Desert Oasis in the City - entire house with private yard
This house is small but has a sweet charm all its own. With 651 square feet of space, it is best appreciated by those of us who do not feel the need for big or fancy lodgings. It is a clean and cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom house with a remodeled kitchen. You'll have the whole house and yard to yourself, so privacy and nature are plentiful here. The large yard is fully fenced and has great desert vegetation including Saguaro and Organ Pipe cactus. Sit beside our little pond on a cool evening and take in the sights, sounds and smells of the desert in our little slice of Tucson!

I booked this place for my parents trip to Tucson. This is what they had to say:“This place was perfect for us. It had everything that we needed including a stocked kitchen and stocked bathroom. The communication with the hosts was excellent as was the book of information they leave you in the house. One of my favorite things was sitting out front and taking in the oasis that is the front yard. If we were to visit Tucson again we would definitely stay here.”
I lived in Tucson for 5 years and just recently moved away. I was back for a business trip and this house was the perfect spot to come back to after a day at the office. The listing was accurate, everything was as stated. Communication with the hosts was clear and easy. I loved listening to the pond and watching the birds, lizards and rabbits cruise the yard. I would definitely stay here again.
