The name says it all!
Sanctuary Cove was the perfect spot for our stay. I would not hesitate to recommend this location to friends and family! A secluded, quiet and beautiful spot with easy access to everything that Tucson area has to offer. Sanctuary Cove even has it own hiking trails on the property! One minor suggestion to the owners would be to consider replacing the mattress set on the bed. While comfortable, when we tried to sleep together the bed sagged and both of us sunk into the middle of the mattress. The good news is that there is a small fold-out sleeper with a foam topper, which I found quite comfortable.

January GetAway
The cottage at Sanctuary Cove was truly amazing. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed coffee on the porch as the sun rose in the morning and snacks on the back porch as it set in the evening. The trails were great. Although we took in some of the surrounding area, we really had no need to ever leave the beautiful grounds and setting. Alison was a pleasant host checking in on us when we arrived and very easy to communicate with. We'd highly recommend this location if you're looking for a peaceful get away.

Beautiful location, very peaceful
Overall our visit was great. The property is beautiful and it is peaceful and quiet. You will not find a prettier place to stay in the Tucson area. We enjoyed our stay and I would definitely stay here again. Property manager was responsive and we had everything we needed. The one thing I would note is that while there is A/C they ask you keep it no lower than 78 and it never cooled below 80 during the day. It does cool down at night though.

A Veranda from Heaven
I wanted to end our vacation in a place I could just relax and not leave and boy was this it. It was only available for 4 nights so it did leave us wanting a full week for next time. The image of the amazing veranda had captured my attention and I did spend hours & hours there, interspersed with short walks (had a sprained ankle) and photo ops. The house is perfectly laid out with everything in it's place and clean and functional as well as warm & cozy. I love the old territorial brick cottages which are well suited to the environment. Alison the property manager was extremely responsive as well as a lovely person to deal with. Overall, one of the very best rental experiences we've had and can't wait to return.

Tranquil gem
For those who want a quiet stay among sagauros, Sanctuary Cove is ideal. Nestled below Safford Peak, this property has short quiet loop trails. With a bit of rocky climbing, you can hike directly south into Saguaro National Park, or you can take the nearby Passey Loop Trail. The cabin is simple but has everything needed for folks wanting a quiet rural stay. It has a very well-stocked kitchen (variety of teas, seasonings, oils, etc. for cooking in the cabin) and bathroom. The back deck is an ideal spot to lounge. We are two naturalists and will for sure stay here every time we return to Tucson to enjoy desert natural history.

Why they chose this property

We are one couple in a long line of many who have occupied and cared for this piece of the Sonoran Desert, helping to preserve its natural quiet for generations before us and hopefully, many to come.

What makes this property unique

When you stay at the Cottage, you have access to 80 acres of pristine natural beauty including hiking trails, a Chapel and Amphitheater. Plants and animals abound. The view of the city and three mountain ranges at dusk is simply spectacular. This is the perfect place to get away from the noise, there is no TV, just a quiet patio, a comfy chair, books and peace.
