Great property for a quiet and relaxing visit to Tucson

The property was everything we hoped for--private, quiet, and well appointed. It has outstanding views (making the private hot tub especially attractive) yet is close to Gates Pass, trails and other amenities. Highly recommended!

Wonderful desert get away in an quiet and peaceful area surrounded by beautiful Saguaro cactus. Very much enjoyed the lovely casita, sitting on the three sided covered patio and reading and watching the wildlife. The home had everything we needed and we will be back!

Exceptional Desert Property and Experience!

This property is beyond exceptional! The location is tucked away, and provided quiet and beautiful views from interior and exterior of the quaint Ranch. Convenient driving distance to downtown Tucson and nearby grocery stores and trails! The Property Manager was very responsive and personable from time of booking to check-out. The Ranch amenities were well done and made the experience feel like "home away from home". Morning coffee with sunrise views on front porch with side and back seating for moonlit sky and stars in the evening (binoculars provided too)! Will be returning again and again! Thank you Tracey and Jolene!

Great Getaway

One of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed. From the acres of cactus, desert wildlife and peaceful surroundings with an outdoor hot tub under the stars, this was the perfect home to unwind. Excellent location to explore Tucson and the surrounding area. Host made it all super easy and we’re making recommendations to book this property to our friends.

Beautiful Casita Among The Saguaros

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a lovely casita with everything we needed. We were in Tucson for a mountain biking trip. The location was perfect for us. Close to great riding. We especially enjoyed lounging at the casita after a good ride and soaking in the hot tub.

Ideal location for some Rest & Relaxation

Home offered a perfect place to unwind with the desert and it's wildlife literally at the porch edge. Fabulous wrap around porch with both covered and uncovered sections for enjoying the outdoors at different times of the day regardless of the the temperature and location of the sun. House was well appointed with everything we needed, and check in/out was seamless. Would stay here again.

Best VRBO Ever!

This place was perfect. Everything was clean as a whistle. All the necessary ammenities were in place. It was the perfect place to work for a few days with huge windows overlooking a beautiful view with several friendly critters passing by throughout the day and evening. I will be staying again in a few weeks!

Comfortable spacious home in beautiful location

The home was a perfect place for my son and me. I loved the location, west of town in a quiet neighborhood with saguaros and javelinas! The home was well equipped with everything we needed. The night sky was beautiful, with a full moon and lots of stars (not at the same time!).

Surrounded by Desert, visited by quail

Spotless (hats off to the good people who do the VERY hard work of cleaning VRBO’s so that the homes qualify for that word, no easy task!), beautifully designed, and unusually well supplied home up in the Tucson mountains, very close the the Tucson Mountain Park. Excellent mattress and linens. Kitchen fully equipped. Hot tub clean and heated, with a desert surround. Easy access to astonishingly beautiful hiking trails which we used almost daily. For those concerned about security, the owner’s home is across the driveway. Easily accessible, friendly, helpful owner, Tracy, who understands these deserts and has a deep love of Nature. We followed another reviewers’ advice to buy bird seed, and within hours had a covey of almost 30 Gambel’s Quail, as well as doves and a large variety of passerines; 2 white tail rabbits, and an occasional visit by a juvenile hawk. A family of 3 mule deer passed through. The back porch is a glorious place to spend late afternoons after hiking. Thank you to the owners and to Lettie who cleaned this large casita so beautifully.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy

Host profile image
Jolene and Tracy are both native Tucsonans. Tracy grew up on a small horse ranch in the Tucson Mountains about a mile from the Saguaro Ranch Hideaway. We both love the outdoors especially the Sonoran Desert

Tracy started working construction right out of high school, using the hands on skills and common knowledge he learned as a kid working around the ranch to move up thorough the ranks. In 1996 he started his own contracting and development company. He has an intimate knowledge of Tucson and sounding areas.

Jolene grew up on the eastside of Tucson and is a graduate of the University of Arizona. She loved spending her youth hiking and camping around southern Arizona with her family.

Let us show you around and introduce you to Tucson!

Why they chose this property

The Tucson Mountains were developed with low density in mind. There are very few properties smaller than 3 acres therefore the traffic is considerably less and the wildlife more abundant due to the low impact.
