Others can sleep in the back room that is furnished with a bunk bed that has both a full and twin size mattress. This room also has your own washer and dryer set up. The open floor plan creates a welcoming living room with a queen size bed, TV, WiFi, Bluetooth phone access. This space is shared with a dining area for 6 and a full kitchen with all necessary appliances. The back room has a lovely all glass windowed garage door that, along with a standard backdoor, will open up to the safely fenced in back and side yard. Here you can enjoy sitting around a fire pit and view the small lush wash that borders the property, creating total privacy between you and the neighbors for a very quiet and secluded desert retreat, and yet, only a 30 min. drive to downtown Tucson. The best of both worlds!
