Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We loved the location, with hiking access so close to enjoy the desert. The neighborhood was quiet with beautiful views. A beautiful new kitchen with all the amenities you need, a great secure backyard that our golden retriever enjoyed, very comfortable home. Rene was promptly responsive if we had questions or needed anything. I would choose her rental again when we return!

About the host

Hosted by René Popnoe

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Rene, founder of Chic Retreats in Arizona. Originally from Portland, Oregon, my family and I relocated to Tucson to enjoy more sunshine and be closer to loved ones. We strive to provide thoughtfully designed, comfortable spaces for guests to enjoy—just like the ones we cherished during our escapes from the gloomy Northwest winters. The desert is an incredible place to explore, and want to help others fall in love with it too!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is incredible! You feel like you are secluded and with nature but yet you are just 8 minutes to downtown with hiking out your front door. You get the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Location and beautiful views! Tucson mountains surround you. Desert wildlife is common to see including coyotes, javelinas, roadrunners, deer and lots of resident lizards. And the amazing backyard to relax and have fun in.
