Panoramic Views, A Great Location, Gated Community, Relax near Golf & Shopping
Our 'hacienda' is a 4200 square foot house perched above northern Tucson in a prestigious gated community nestled in the Santa Catalina Mountains. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It easily sleeps 8, but young adults can use the futons to allow for 10-12 to rest comfortably. There are villas and casitas in the area, so in keeping with the theme, we are the hacienda of the bunch. The house easily lends itself to relaxing with friends and family......cook, swim, work-out, watch tv, or get online. All of it can be enjoyed while appreciating panoramic views of both the city and the mountains!
The gourmet kitchen was recently upgraded with all new appliances, and granite countertops. Family and friends can cook a meal together in this fully equipped kitchen and still enjoy the magnificent city views, also, you can enjoy grilling all year around and 'picnic' on the porch. There are 2 full sized refrigerators, 2 sinks, 2 ovens, plenty of cabinets, and even a wine refrigerator!
Panoramic Views! Sit on the large 500 square foot porch any time of the day or night and see the city change from high atop the foothills of the Santa Catalina mountains. Or enjoy the same view from the jacuzzi as water cascades down a beautiful waterfall into the 9 foot deep pool. Or swim laps across the 35 foot aquatic expanse.
The main family room is both comfortable and expansive, with a 12 foot high wood beamed ceiling, a flat screen TV with Blue-ray DVD player, large stone fireplace, and a game table that is customized for cards and poker chips...but the city views will grab your attention here too.
If you prefer mountain views, step into the 'gallery'. While the whole house is adorned with gallery quality photographs of Arizona, this room boasts the largest collection with the forth wall being filled with the backyard's desert-scape in the foreground, and mountains in the background. Workout on the recumbent stationary bike and be visited by quail, javelina, deer, and the elusive bobcat. Or pull out a yoga mat and stretch among the colorful canvases. Or read one of the many provided books, while enjoying a cup of coffee on the futon.
The master bedroom overlooks the pool and the city and has another fireplace for winding down in the evenings privately. From the king sized bed, you can watch tv too. There is a walk-in closet and built-in desk with a printer and large bookcase with books in the master suite. From this area you can grab a cold drink from the beverage refrigerator and step right out onto your private porch for an evening dip into the jacuzzi, or enjoy a large soaking tub in the master bath. From the tub you also have beautiful views of the mountains.
This bathroom's shower has been updated with two shower heads (a rain head and handheld head) and a large bench. There are two full vanities, each with a sink and large mirror.
The house comes complete with full sized washer and dryer, free wifi, 3 large 50' flat screen TVs with satellite programing, 3 BlueRay DVD players, central air conditioning and heat throughout to make your stay comfortable and hassle-free. There is even an intercom system with central built-in radio to reach every room inside and outside simultaneously!
A car is recommended for the Tucson area. The house has a three-car garage, and has plenty of room for cars, bikes, or golf clubs. We can provide a set of Ping golf clubs and bag upon request.

Our hosts were terrific , extremely friendly and super responsive. House is in great location with amazing views of the sunset. Everything you need for a great stay
What an unexpected surprise this vacation rental was! The pictures were beautiful but seeing the home in person was amazing! The panoramic views were enjoyed by our whole family of ten!Our hostess Michelle, greeted us as soon as we drove up. She gave us a tour of the house and answered any questions that we had! An extra treat were the fresh flowers from her garden and an excellent bottle of wine! After a long day of air travel, it was very much appreciated. The location was perfect for all that we had planned and Michelle left us with brochures for shopping and sight seeing in the immediate area!Once we returned to our home airport we discovered that we had misplaced our key fob. After texting to see if they could check the house, Sam went right over and found them. AND....he sent them back to us very quickly. We appreciated their thoughtfulness in so many ways. This was the perfect stay for family of ten. Lots of room, a great pool and hot tub and lots of room for everyone. We would HIGHLY recommend this beautiful home and the hosts for those looking for the perfect retreat! Thank you Michelle and Sam for making our stay the BEST!

We had an outstanding time at the house. It was the perfect location for sight-seeing and for the restaurants we love. The house was well maintained and comfortable. We enjoyed the landscaping and the birds that visited the feeder. The gated community was perfect for feeling safe. We enjoyed living on a tall hill. The owners thought of all the items we might need for a stay. The experience was lovely.

So glad we were a good fit for you!
We are proud of our view of the city....twinkling sea of lights at night!
Hope to have you back again sometime.
We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at Hacienda Sin Vacas. The house itself was huge and generously equipped with everything we could ask for. We made great use of the heated pool and spa.The location was perfect: a short distance to great shopping and restaurants coupled with the security of a beautiful gated community. All that, PLUS those gorgeous views of the Catalinas and the nighttime lights of Tucson! Thank you, Michelle and Sam. You are truly premier hosts!
This is a beautiful home in an awesome neighborhood. The views of the city, mountains and night sky cannot be beat. The flora and fauna throughout the neighborhood are beautiful and the area is great to walk in. The owners are attentive, responsive and work hard to keep the home functional. Main bath shower is awesome and the tub a respite for sore muscles. We have already booked our return reservation for next year!

Amazing views with tons of amenities
We really enjoyed our stay in the Tucson foothills. The owners were so gracious and attentive starting with a lovely wine and cheese plate spread upon arrival. The master suite is huge as is the family room - plenty of room for everyone to spread out. A special surprise was the beautiful photography of Arizona wildlife and flora thru out the house. Highly recommend this property to anyone!!!

We so enjoyed this home. The view was amazing. The location very private and beautiful. Pool and hot tub all you could want. The house is 1980s, so dated. However, the kitchen was first class, the beds were supportive, the furnishings were very comfortable. Plus unlike some rentals, there were ample towels, paper products, soaps, cleaning products. The hosts were charming and so helpful. We hope to visit again.

Beautiful house
Our family of 7 had an amazing time here. There was plenty of room for everyone (we even had an extra room!). It was so relaxing and beautiful. The sunsets were amazing and we all enjoyed the pool and spa. It was nice to have the grill and well appointed kitchen so we could spend time together instead of going out all the time. The nearby restaurants and stores were great and we could not have asked for anything more. All of our expectations were exceeded and we look forward to staying again in the future!!

Spectacular View and Spacious House
Everyone enjoyed our stay over Christmas week. We had three families and three generations ranging in age from 10 to 73. One family stayed in a separate wing of the house which gave them privacy. The master bedroom and bath is very large and has complete privacy as well. The pool and hot tub were in excellent condition and warm. The poolside porch is a wonderful place to enjoy the view and have meals. Michele and Sam welcomed us with cheese and an excellent bottle of wine. Everyone enjoyed playing games and cards on the felted card table in the living room. There are a variety of comfortable seating arrangements.

October stay at La Hacienda
Our family was in Tucson for our son's wedding in October. Our accommodations at La Hacienda were perfect. We had about 25 family members over for 2 meals. Everyone loved the patio with the table that seats 10. We also used the pool table and chairs. The pool was very relaxing. The owner was so helpful in answering questions - bringing over herbs from her garden and coolers for us to use when we entertained. The house was spotless clean. The large kitchen was great for multiple people to cook in at the same time. The beds were very comfortable with high end sheets. The view of the sunsets were breathtaking.

It was so much fun meeting your family and hearing about all the wedding festivities. We are proud that our hacienda could be enjoyed in so many ways....nature rolled out the red carpet too with those sunsets! Thanks for visiting. You are welcome back anytime!
House was comfortable and well located. Outdoor space was wonderful. Pool and hot tub were great. Nicely equipped with toiletries, paper products, etc. Plenty of towels. Beds were comfy, nice linens.
Hosts were very friendly and helpful, but not intrusive.
Furnishings very dated. Outdoor furniture broken and uncomfortable. "Dormitory" room was weird. Surprisingly, kitchen lacked trays, platter, bowls, etc for serving 6 people. TV in great room was unusable, too far from seating, tucked into corner.

I'm so glad you found the beds and furnishings to be comfy, even if they didn't appeal to your modern aesthetic. I do so much wish you had reached out to me when you were in search of serving dishes. All of these thing are in the cabinet to the right of the sink. It is a very large kitchen with many cabinets and I could have saved you the frustration. We provide many large serving items, and I'm sorry you didn't see them, they are really cute. (see attached photos). Three are square: 20x20, and 18x18. Two large deep dishes, a long narrow one, and 2 large bowls that have the same "hacienda style" pattern for entertaining. There are a few more oval platters above the oven. We do always try to accommodate a variety of requests, and make ourselves available to you.

Most Excellent Stay at the Hacienda Sin Vacas!
Our number one reason for selecting this home for our vacation days in Tucson was the views!
The photos in the listing for this home on VRBO/HomeAway are excellent, however they still cannot capture how amazing the views truly are.
Our evenings were blessed with absolutely fantastic views of the Tucson skyline and surrounding mountains....sunsets were brilliant. We were also fortunate one of the evenings to witness the full on spectacle of a monsoon storm in all it's glory. Spectacular lightning and thunder provided a natural display of sound and sight that will leave us with long time memories of the days we spent at this home.
We hope we can be fortunate enough to return to Hacienda Sin Vacas....it was a top notch experience in a truly amazing home in an unbeatable location in Tucson.
Five stars for sure for this Tucson treasure!!

We enjoyed meeting you!
We would welcome you back anytime, and especially during monsoon season, as I agree, nature's summer light show is a sight to behold in Tucson! Photographing the monsoon as it travels over the whole city is one of my favorite things. Glad you enjoyed it!
This was one of the best VRBOs we've rented. It is quite spacious...larger than I expected from the photos. Outstanding backyard facing south and overlooking Tucson. Beautiful large covered patio and sizable pool with user friendly jacuzzi that heats up quickly. Big master suite with three other spacious bedrooms. It's one of those places that makes you want to do morning activities so you can get back to the house and enjoy it in the afternoon. Michelle and Sam are probably the best hosts we've experienced. Super responsive. Sam set up three golf outings for us and lent us a nice set of Pings. Michelle was kind enough to suggest numerous other activities and food options. They were very available, but not intrusive. Great week for our family.

The owners take pride in their property... and it shows.
We are a group of golfers ranging in age from 55 to 70.
We have been coming to Tucson for close to 20 years.
This property is as good as any we have ever stayed.
Our priorities include :
Prime central location to various golf courses.
Hot tub and heated pool to enjoy after the round(s) of golf.
We have a chef who plays golf with us, so the kitchen and grill must be top notch.
The ability to sleep up to nine guys with each having their own bed.
spectacular views of the city, especially at night.
When your planning a trip you don't want the stress of wondering if the property really looks like the pictures, and fits the description on the website.
With this property you wont be disappointed.
Sam and Michelle take great care of you.
We'll be back.

Found a really good one on VRBO. Clean Clean Clean Clean”
My family and I would not think of staying anywhere but here. The price for the space is great when you have kids and family stoping by you never have enough room but in this case we had more then enough room.
We would go Hiking in the morning and swim in the pool the rest of the day. If you golf you will really like the area within two miles is the first golf course then we counted four to five more within 15 miles. We did eat in most of the time being we had a large group and the kitchen was nice and big but BBQ most nights but notice a lot of restaurants in the area. My wife and I will give this a 4 1/2 because good luck trying to get a five star from my wife. Still working on our house after 25 years. A really great location. We did see a lot of wildlife.
PS the owners where very professional from start to finish.
We'll be back. Thanks for letting us stay at your beautiful place.

Comfortable, convenient house with fabulous view!
We stayed here for a family "working vacation" and this house beautifully accommodated our needs. There were enough bedrooms and baths so each person had their own "space." (This house would work well as a corporate rental as well.) As a fellow VRBO homeowner, I appreciated what owners Michelle and Sam did to anticipate guests' stay, such as providing some waters, breakfast items and snacks to get settled in. Bathrooms have a more than ample supply of towels, plus initial toiletries are provided. The location is convenient to restaurants. However we ate all breakfasts and dinners at the house! The kitchen is well stocked with pans, plates, utensils, etc., so meal preparation is easy. Fabulous mural-sized photos of Arizona fill the house -- it's like staying in an art gallery! Of course, one of the greatest things about staying at a house is the ability to go home with clean clothes! The huge washer and dryer made that a breeze -- and soap is provided (yet another nice touch!). I can't decide if the view is better at night or during the day -- it's a spectacular view of Tucson. You can't go wrong renting this house.
