Om boendet

Mountain Getaway, lugn, skönhet, atmosfÀr, fantastisk utsikt

Om din strÀvan Àr att hitta den finaste utsikt över bergen avslappnad atmosfÀr Arizona har att erbjuda sÄ har du kommit till rÀtt stÀlle (sÄ vÄra gÀster berÀttar.)

Miramontes gÀster kommentera ofta hur vÀl de sover - bÀttre Àn de nÄgonsin kan minnas. MÄste vara lugn och ro, frisk bergsluft och bekvÀma sÀngar.

Miramontes sjÀlv har ca.. 2250 kvm utrymme inomhus med Ätminstone sÄ mycket igen i verandor och dÀck, som ligger pÄ 12 tunnland med Catalina State Park och berg i bakgrunden.

Miramontes utsikt omfattar 20.000 hektar av berg utan en granne i sikte. ÄndĂ„ Miramontes ligger bara 5-10 minuter frĂ„n en bensinstation, livsmedelsbutik, golf och restauranger.

Varje sovrum har sin egen privata badrum ... sovrummet öppnas till poolen kapsling. Det stora sovrummet badrum med sin enorma dusch helkaklat med travertin har utsikt över bergen.

Mellan de tvÄ sovrum sviter Àr en lÀmplig vÀlsorterad linneskÄp ..

En frukostplats rymmer 4 i rött lÀder-stödda stolar. Matbordet med svart lÀder högryggade stolar plats 8-10 bekvÀmt.
Utemöbler kan enkelt konfigureras för att ge plats 4, 6 eller 10 gÀster för dinner..an atmosfÀr du och dina gÀster kommer aldrig att glömma. Alla köksmaskiner Àr elektrisk. En gas-brinnande grill Àr pÄ uteplatsen för dem som Ätnjuter grillar.


FrÄn Miramontes man kan vandra i nÄgon riktning. Upp pÄ berget, lÀngs tvÀtten, ner för backen - det Àr alla hÀrliga.

Miramontes erbjuder exceptionell fĂ„gelskĂ„dning. Quail, falkar, hökar, ugglor, gamar, annan örn. Cactus wrens överflöd. Även Ă„ret kolibrier. Roadrunners Ă€r flitiga besökare.

Miramontes 'östlig riktning fÄngar den varma morgonsolen. De verandor ger skugga under mitt pÄ dagen och eftermiddagen blÀndning.

Perfekt för underhÄllande, sÀrskilt som solen gÄr ner - Indian tid Àr alltid speciellt pÄ Miramontes.

SolnedgÄngar förvandla berget till en rosa glöd. mÄnen stiger och stjÀrnorna kommer ut ...
FörestÀll bosatt par stora horn ugglor ringer försiktigt mot varandra; den musikaliska ljudet av en avlÀgsen prÀrievarg yelping part.

En tillfÀllig nattuggla, kit rÀv eller havelina observation Àr tillrÀckligt för att Àndra föremÄl för nÀstan alla samtal.

Doften av woodsmoke Àr sÀrskilt lockande i Arizona natthimlen upplyst av de ljusstarkaste stjÀrnorna.

Miramontes har inomhus bikupa spis och en utomhus vedeldade spis sÀrskilt roligt med stjÀrna - eller mÄnsken ..

Miramontes Àr listad som "rullstolsanpassade." Alla rum Àr pÄ samma vÄning och golv Àr travertin vilket underlÀttar inomhusrullstol manoevering. Grunderna, omgivningen och vandringar Àr inte alls rullstols dock.

Beautiful Location and a Well Maintained Home

The home is beautiful and spacious and very well maintained. The property is lovely and is a quiet desert oasis. We really enjoyed the pool and the local wildlife - especially the Gila Monster that crawled up through the fence one day - really cool. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Authentic / Awesome

This residence is perfect in every way: spacious, all amenities, well supplied kitchen, awesome outdoor spaces, hot tub and pool, view of glory, private, quiet solitude. Except if the 1.5 mile rough unpaved road is an issue, or if a long distance to do most Tucson activities.is not enjoyable.

Spectacular views, tranquil, quiet property on the foothills of the Catalina Mountains

A beautiful home in a very quiet location - we loved the wildlife sounds at night - Great Horned Owls and howling coyotes. Abundant bird species on the property and along the dirt roads in the neighborhood with many that came to drink from the infinity pool! The stars and moon were breathtaking with no artificial lights to obscure them. We didn't want to leave!

Peace and Quiet

House is located just slightly off the beaten path, so if you are looking to unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet, great location. View of the Catalina Mountains is terrific, and if you are inclined to watching either sunrise or sunset, you can do both. We really enjoyed our time there.

Most relaxing house ever

The views of the Catalina Mountains were amazing. The house was immaculate. Spent most of our time on the back patio watching the birds drink out of the pool. Beds were very comfortable. This is the best vrbo house we have ever stayed in - and we have stayed at many in the past. Thank you Elma for your hospitality.

Hans and Elma have created a haven of peace, tranquility and relaxation. The desert, in all its magnificence, is on full display. Truly - both words and photos fall short in capturing the beauty and the feeling of MiraMontes. It is a phenomenal property and a visit with my family that I will always treasure. We look forward to booking again soon!

It’s off the beaten path but in a good way

This house is off the beaten path. We had a rental car and would recommend a small suv as a better option for most people but you can drive a car in there so long as it’s dry. House is gorgeous, pool is not heated but we took a swim in February because we couldn’t pass it up. Hot tub allows you to sit out under the stars. Elma was very quick to respond to questions.

Arizona Gem

Gorgeous home off the beaten path, just north of Tucson, in Catalina Az. If peace and quiet and wonderful mountain views are what you're looking for, this is the place. Wildlife abounds, lots of hiking options within a short drive, along with many fun places to visit. Elma is the nicest host we have had the pleasure of meeting, and our family has been renting vacation homes for 10 plus years now! Her home is perfect for 2 or 3 couples to enjoy time out in the Arizona wilds. Pool, hot tub, stargazing, wonderful sunsets, and so quiet you might wonder if the world has come to a stop...lol!

Beautiful setting!!

We stayed at MiraMontes for a month and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The mountain views from the house were spectacular as well as the colorful sunsets. The house itself was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The kitchen was a chef's dream. We ended up cooking most of our meals and the outside grill came in very handy. Our host, Elma, was a delight and very responsive to our needs. We would highly recommend MiraMontes for those considering a relaxing, private setting with all the amenities. Wayne and Lenore

A 'must see' to enjoy the mountain/desert experience

First, the hosts, Hans and Elma were a pleasure to work with. What wonderful people. Second, the house is situated far off the main roads allowing for privacy, serenity and enjoyment of the spectacular mountains that are right there. The patio, nice pool, upper deck on the house and the new hot tub by the pool all face the mountains. Viewing the spectacular sunsets, sunrises and nighttime sky (stars and planets) were a great way to start and end the day. The house is comfy and well appointed.

A Slice of Heaven in the Catalina Foothills

The setting for this upscale home is exceptional. The Catalina Mountains form the backdrop. The views are unobstructed, stunning and evoke a sense of tranquility and peace. The home is situated on a hillside with great privacy. Yet the local market and gas station are within easy reach. Catalina State Park is nearby and offers wonderful hiking. The pool and hot tub are great places to relax and enjoy a Southwest vacation. The house is both comfortable and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well appointed and the house is fully equipped with all the amenities of modern living. The property manager is very helpful and responsive. We will certainly return and highly recommend this gem in the Catalina Foothills within easy reach of Tucson and surrounding parks.

A piece of paradise in Arozona

This property has amazing views of the Catalina Mountains that you never get tired of looking at. Morning coffee and evening stargazing in the hot tub on the roof. Afternoons in the infinity pool cooling off. There are plentiful amount of animals around to add to the enjoyment of the property. We had continual hummingbirds at the patio, salamanders, a roadrunner and the local free range cows. Hans supplies a pair of binoculars so you can watch the wildlife in the hills also. The house is amazing. Full supply of pantry items and extras that you need to have a very comfortable relaxing experience. We went out exploring a few days but always looked forward to returning to the exquisite home to relax and enjoy! A true Arizona experience the we will never forget!

Wonderful Mountain Getaway

This is a hidden gem. Nestled in the Catalina foothills, the view of the mountains and the dessert is unforgettable. We enjoyed our coffee on the back patio each morning watching the sun come up over the mountains. Evenings spent BBQing, relaxing in the hot tub and, well, the sunset is spectacular from this property. Hiking or biking at Catalina State Park, Saguaro National Park, visiting the Biosphere2 or the Observatory on Mt Lemon are only a short distance away. Tucson's Botanical Garden or shopping for art in Tubac are an easy day trip. But foremost, the home is warm and inviting. The house is fully stocked. Kitchen items, laundry, pool, everything you might need. The beds (and pillows) were comfortable. There is a large TV and a wonderful stereo system. If you are able to meet Elma, the owner, you will know why this house is so special. She and her husband clearly cared for this home with love. This is one of the best properties we have stayed (and we have traveled a lot) and I can highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

Poor start, good finish

Everything was going fine until we had to call for an escort to the property because it was somewhat remote. We had received an email with information on who to call (property manager). Upon calling the property manager we found out that she was no longer managing this property. We then called the owner to get directions and make sure that the home was ready. The home was easy enough to find so no problem there. Upon entering the home everything looked great. However, after unpacking and getting settled we noticed that things were not as clean as could be expected. So we did a little cleaning. After that things were much improved. The location is exceptional. Quiet and very peaceful. Very relaxing in the morning sitting out by the infinity pool in the sunshine. Lots of things to do locally if that’s what you want. All in all we would rate it 4 out of 5 stars only because of the poor start ( proper information would have been nice).

Beauty, Tranquility, and Wilderness with Every Luxury

I agree with the other positive reviews. It is a wonderful property, and a great value for the money. The home was spotlessly clean and fresh (like new); exceptionally well furnished; some luxurious amenities; and perfectly situated to maximize views and privacy. The photos do not do it justice. I also affirm what the owners have noted: I did sleep more peacefully and soundly in the master bedroom than I have slept in many years. I am a local who went seeking solitude, peace, beauty, and privacy during the Covid pandemic. And I found it at Mira Montes. The following observations are things that I did not see in other reviews, and might be useful: (1) I visited in the hottest part of the Arizona summer, and the pool was still pleasantly refreshing, and the AC was more than adequate. (2) The pool and its environs attract many kinds of birds, not only the ones that I can identify (roadrunners, hummingbirds, doves, countless quail) but also the kinds of birds that only birdwatchers can identify. If you are a birdwatcher, this is THE place where they come to you! (3) The interior is decorated with stunning mineral specimens, which even a non-specialist can admire. (4) I drove up in a Honda Accord without any problems, and the Amazon delivery vans were getting around without problems. It’s remote, and you have to drive slowly for a few feet on some washboard dirt roads, but it’s fully accessible to ordinary sedans, and only minutes from the main highway. (5) I’m a local, but the property is mostly used by out-of-state visitors, and both the owners and the numerous in-house reference materials will guide tourists to all the best places and the secret places. (6) The tile floors and overall acoustics were like a concert hall when listening to my classical and jazz music. (Fantastic amp and speakers provided). (7) I used the second HDMI port on the TV to hook in my own Roku so that I could bring my streaming services with me. I had some questions before renting, and Elma (one of the owners) was fast, forthright, and flexible in her responses. If you are curious or have concerns, just ask! You’ll get the right answers, and you may find that Mira Montes is your perfect holiday destination.

Om vÀrden

Elma VonMichaelis Àr vÀrd

VĂ€rdens profilbild
Hans and Elma grew up near Cape Town, South Africa.
Elma, trained as a radiographer but assisted Hans operate a successful mining conference company for many years.

Hans completed a Ph D in Space chemistry at the University of Cape Town and earned his Pilot Wings from the South African Air Force. He now flies gliders and collects minerals.

Hans' career as a mining consultant requires frequent travel to faraway places. Hans' hobby is finding and improving tranquil homes. MiraMontes is Hans' and Elma's pride and joy. During three winter months each year when Hans and Elma spend time in Africa, they are delighted to share MiraMontes with like-minded guests.

MiraMontes is in Phase 2 of a five-stage sustainability project.. Water harvesting, tree growing, topsoil development, organic vegetable cultivation; soil erosion abatement; solar hot water; solar electric generation.

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

In the course of his extensive travels, Hans has found several magic spots in the world. One of these is a guest farm called Etusis in central Namibia. The mountain setting, vegetation and climate at MiraMontes is almost identical to that at Etusis. Miramontes is, however, very much easier to get to and is much more luxurious. For most of the year MiraMontes is the owners' personal home and residence as the large number of shade trees planted need regular watering through the summer months.

To get to Etusis requires a 2-1/2 hr flight from Johannesburg to Windhoek then a two-hour drive west to Karibib followed by a 40-min drive south to the farm in the middle of 'nowhere'.

MiraMontes offers similar charm with superior accommodation, only 30-min N of Tucson and within 5-20 minutes of every amenity a guest could possibly wish for.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Step out of MiraMontes home and take off in any direction on a great hiking adventure. Up the mountain, into the foothills, along the wash or down the hill...its all beautiful and interesting.

Hans enjoys the rustic approach to MiraMontes through the Mesquite bosque across two mostly dry washes populated by free ranging cows and calves. He particularly enjoys coming along the long driveway up to Miramontes as the spectacular mountains suddenly come into view.

Elma appreciates MiraMonte's proximity to shopping, gas, groceries, hair salon, excellent restaurants, golf courses, movie houses etc.

Note: MiraMontes is all on one floor and therefore easily accessible to wheelchairs. There are however no additional 'wheelchair accessible' features such as support railings in the bathroom.
