For desert lovers like us, this place is ideal. It is clean and well equipped, and the desert surrounding it is wonderful. And Kristine is a marvelous host - I had a minor emergency one evening, and she responded immediately. We have stayed here twice, and I imagine we will do so many more times in the future.

My wife and I enjoyed our two week stay at the Cozy Desert Hideaway. The host, Kristine, was fantastic with very prompt communications and the her cleaning specialist made a mid-stay refresh. The place offered wild life sightings and was located near the Desert Museum and the Saguaro National Park (west). Would definitely stay again.

What a wonderful desert getaway! If you love the desert as much as we do you will be very happy here. Coming from the Midwest it was cool to have a yard full of cacti and my very own saguaros for the week. Birds ( many different varieties) cottontails, Quail, even saw 2 coyotes and a beautiful Harris hawk came by one morning. It was an unseasonably hot week , Kristine was wonderful and made sure we stayed cool.Thank you so much you were an awesome host! We would stay here again.

The property was extremely clean and we especially appreciated the comfortable furniture. It's the number one feature we look for in a property. Not all the windows have screens on them, which made it difficult to open up the house for the wonderfully cool evenings.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cozy Hideaway! Kristine is a first class host! The house was clean and in perfect order. The location is outstanding, offering many accessible options for day activities and sunsets are spectacular! We enjoyed having the ability to have nightly campfires and listen to "the yodel dogs". If your looking for "off the beaten path" this is it!

Enjoyed the covered patio. Great spot to watch the sunset.Very close to the Saguaro National Park and AZ Sonoran Desert museum. 30-minute drive to grocery store, restaurants, etc. Home could use a little TLC, evidence of water damage, outlet box hanging out of living room wall, shower door does not close.

I'm sorry you didn't make me aware of any issues you were having. I try to be available at all time for guests. If I'm unaware of something I'm not able to take care of it before the next guests arrive. It is an older house and I do try to keep the place comfortable and welcoming.

The home was very clean, nice amenities, comfortable beds, nice towels. The weather was hot, low 90’s, the air conditioning did not keep the cottage even close to cool. We would have opened the windows but most windows did not have screens so we couldn’t open them without a lot of insects coming in. The sliding glass door to the screened porch is hard to open/close. The steps into both the front and back doors are very narrow. The fenced backyard is okay except both dogs stepped on cholla requiring tweezers to remove the spines. Pet owners should be encouraged to bring booties to protect the dogs paws.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Mar, 2026
I'm so sorry the air wasn't enough for you. I always ask if the guests if they are unhappy with anything to let me know. I'm two minutes up the driveway. Yes it has been unseasonably hot. But again, I'm sorry you didn't feel comfortable enough to ask for help. Yesterday when I dropped off the new cushions for the dining chairs would have been a perfect time for you to mention anything. As for the yard, I'm very surprised there are any cholla inside the fenced yard. Animals pluck off pieces of this cactus and drop them in the ground. However I make sure there are no cholla anywhere around the fenced in area because this area is for dogs.

Tucson area getaway

We prefer to stay in out of the way, quiet, more remote areas. This property was perfect! The location was very close to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and all the hiking trails in the west section of the Saguaro Natl Park. Easy enough access to Tucson.
