Relaxing in Tucson

Very roomy and good location to restaurants. This is the best equipped VRBO we have used with coffee, welcome gift and plenty of items in the pantry and refrigerator to use. The owners were very responsive to questions and minor issues. Definitely recommend this house.

Great spot to relax!

Very central location. Property was perfect for two families given how the bedrooms are grouped together. Loved the sitting rooms and the yard. Had an issue while we were there, but the owner/property manager addressed it right away. They were very responsive.

Our third year at this location. Each year we are joined by various friends and family and they all say it's fantastic. Beautiful, peaceful, spacious and yet so close to downtown. My favorite is always the pool. My very own pool.....

Most Comfortable Home!

Our family arrived from multiple states to this home, and it did not disappoint in any way. It is set up for everyone to have their own space - but then larger areas for all of us to gather. The outdoor area is just beautiful. Between the early morning fire, the daily swim, to dinner on the grill - it was all so serene, private and very comfortable.

Backyard oasis

This home had a fantastic outdoor living space. Most of our time was spent there enjoying the pool and fireplace. The primary suite was beautiful. Everything we could think of was provided and the Manager was so helpful and accommodating. In addition, the resource material regarding the home and local activities was extremely helpful. We had a great time a look forward to a return trip. Many thanks to the owners and manager.

A beautiful house and perfect location

Everyone was very attentive to our comfort and needs. The house and property are absolutely beautiful, clean and well maintained. Nice, peaceful location. The house was well stocked with amenities (such as extra towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes and toiletries, coffee, sugar, flour, paper towels, etc). We loved staying here, and found the location to be very convenient as well. We hope to stay here again next year! Ten out of ten stars! Thank you!

Definitely an Oasis!

We have rented this property 2 years in a row and are planning on renting again next year. It is located in a very safe and quiet neighborhood and the house is both beautiful and comfortable. It has lovely, peaceful landscaping and its own pool which is pretty much heaven on Earth. We have found the property's location to be convenient for lots of golfing and for getting to downtown Tucson.

Just WOW

The house was AMAZING! Master bedroom and bath looked like it was from an episode of Fixer Upper, the pool and landscaping was even prettier in person than in pictures! The entry porch area had the most beautiful view of the mountains and the fireplace by the pool were perfects spots for morning coffe talk and evening whispers! Jack was the perfect host and went out of his way to make everything just prefect for our stay!! This VRBO is a gem! Thanks for helping us make such wonderful memories!

Desert Tree House

The property was spectacular, back yard oasis and home were perfectly appointed. The pool was sparkling and warm. We swam, laid in the sun and relaxed by the outdoor fireplace. Matt & Lisa were amazing hosts, very wonderful people and property manager Jack made sure we had everything we needed and was super attentive. Wonderful vacation, we already planned our next trip back! Perfect vacation home with everything we could have wanted. Memories were made! Can’t wait to go back!

Great Rental!

We've been coming to Tucson regularly over the past couple of years to visit our daughter in college, and this is by far our favorite place we've stayed. The house is super comfortable and very clean. The kitchen is really well stocked, which made it easy to cook in when we didn’t feel like eating out.It’s close to restaurants and shopping but tucked away enough that it’s quiet and peaceful. The real highlight for us is the backyard and pool. It’s such a great space to relax and spend time as a family.We’ve stayed in quite a few rentals in Tucson, and this one stands out in terms of comfort, cleanliness, and overall vibe. We’ll definitely be booking again on our next trip!

5 Stars!

This was our second extended stay at The Desert Treehouse. The home is so inviting and comfortable, and now offers the new addition of a beautiful, bright and spacious primary ensuite bathroom! The stunning outdoor spaces and mountain views with glorious sunsets are unbeatable. The home's private, quiet location is mere minutes to shopping and restaurants; our favorite hiking trailheads are a 20-minute drive away. Thank you to warm, welcoming property owners Matt & Lisa and responsive and deligtful property manager Jack!

Memory Maker

This was our 2nd stay at the Dessert Treehouse, absolutely spectacular experience. The master suite updates are stunning and add to the overall relaxing and rejuvenating feeling we left with. The daily visits from the owl and hawks we looked forward to everyday! The pool and backyard are just gorgeous, this home is everything you didn't know you needed for a break from the day to day. We made beautiful memories with our family; we plan to return as soon as possible! Thanks to Lisa, Matt and Jack for the top rate experience!

Beautiful property and great location

I brought my son and his family to visit Tucson for their first time and everyone had a great time! The home is so comfortable but the backyard is an incredible oasis!! Several hiking areas nearby and a visit and lunch at Tohono Chul park is a must! We saw a rattlesnake and coyotes on our hikes. Thank goodness they weren’t too close but fun to see! This property is incredible but what is outstanding is the customer service! They thought of everything to make our week the best and Jack the property manager checked in to see if we needed anything!! We will definitely be back!
