Damselfly Studio. Contemporary, comfortable retreat with gorgeous views near SNP
With this studio I love to create a home away from home for my guests. It's like a luxurious hotelroom with privacy. 2 min from Saguaro Natl. Park - East. Ideal for hiking, biking and birding. Just outside city limits, overlooking the city with desert and mountain views. Dark night skies, howling coyotes, hooting owls and occasional javelinas. For your info; the studio is next to our casita. See more on this Dragonfly casita on vrbo.com/2504493

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The Damselfly studio was roomy, comfortably furnished and very pleasant. We were very close to the Park for hiking and within easy driving distance to restaurants. Fredericka was a very accommodating and friendly host. You will not be disappointed if you stay there!
This is our second year staying at the Damselfly and it was wonderful as always. Fredricka is very responsive and friendly. If you are a fan of nature and wildlife this is the spot for you. The bird-watching game is top notch . The wildlife and environment can't be beat!
The cleanliness was impeccable, I own a cleaning company so I tend to be more critical than most. Our host was so kind and friendly, all the special little touches made us feel at home!
We love to stay here. It’s clean and welcoming. You can hear the coyotes at night. Great hostess.

The casita was perfect for our stay and so close to Saguaro national park. Lovely place and Frederika was wonderful and gave us lots of recommendations.
Hostess is amazing, and went above and beyond. She even supplied some snacks and drinks. Everything you could need was there. The Damselfly Studio was wonderful. Would definitely recommend!
The property, host, and location were great. The studio was clean and spacious. The property had great indoor and outdoor lounging spaces. Nice views of the mountains with beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The host provided a perfect balance of welcoming availability while giving us space so enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend.
Beautiful property. Very well decorated space with everything you need. Less than five minutes to the East Gate of Saguaro National Park. Frederika is a fantastic host and made our stay great. Would stay again!
We enjoyed a wonderful 3-night stay in this quiet desert retreat. The place was spotless, and we found every amenity we might need for a studio stay. We loved the many seating areas, shared courtyard, and enjoyed watching the birds from the back deck. Frederika is a thoughtful host, and it’s obvious she has made the extra effort to make the studio a comfortable getaway. We loved it so much we ended up booking 2 more stays during our time in Tucson!
We wish we could have stayed longer in this spacious, comfortable casita with a view of mountains. Friendly, accessible hostess, nicely decorated, spacious room and private deck.
Stayed here with my wife for our anniversary. Perfect spot for 2; off the beaten path, great views off the deck, great communication & accommodation from the host.
We enjoyed our previous visits so much that we booked a third stay! The property is so clean, calm and peaceful. Birds and other wildlife are just out the door. Frederika is an amazing host! We enjoyed chatting with her and she provided great recommendations on things to do and see in the area. The studio was perfectly appointed with little amenities to make our stay more comfortable. We plan to return next year!
The studio was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. It was quiet, which made for a good night's sleep. The host was very welcoming. We'll definitely stay here again when visiting Tucson.
Beautiful casita located at the foothills of the Tucson Mountain Range, right outside of Saguaro National Park. Our hosts, Frederika and Arie did everything to make us feel right at home. We highly recommend that you take the time to visit. You will not be disappointed!
Beautiful casita with everything we needed to be comfortable! Lovely outdoor courtyard to view the sunset and a private patio for enjoying the outdoors.
The owners were welcoming and checked in with us to see if we needed anything!

My name is Frederika, and I've worked in hospitality all my life. My knack for service could not be contained for long, so i decided to pursue my passion further at home! As an easy going person, I try to make my guests feel as at home as possible. While of course, respecting distance and privacy, for me and my guests.
Why they chose this property
We love Tucson because of its artsy historic downtown, its renowned university and its friendly people with a relaxed atmosphere and refined, hip eateries. The beautiful weather and abundant nature. We had no idea the Sonoran desert could be this beautiful. That's what we like to share with our guests.
What makes this property unique
We chose this home because of its location on 8 acres on top of a knoll overlooking the Tucson valley. Moreover, because of the casita so beautiful we wanted it for ourselves! ;-)
