Nice area and very quiet

We enjoyed our stay and the owner was very responsive to requests and even brought us a turkey roaster for Thanksgiving! The area is great and close to everything we needed in Oro Valley. The owner is so quiet we never heard a sound during our entire 10 day visit. The dogs were super sweet and very friendly.

Doggie Haven!! Great location: close to stores, Tucson City proper, Zoo, Catalina State Park, Sabina Canyon, Tounono Desert Botanical Gardens and much more -- Madera Canyon, etc. only an hour or so away. Then after hiking, sight seeing or shopping bring dinner "home" or grill on the property and relax with a swim in the pool!! My dogs are "howling" to go back already!!

Home away from Home

I reserved this VRBO for my parents while they were visiting from out of state. Everything was super cute and very clean. Ami was an absolute life saver and and got things ready for my parents - who showed up a day early - with no notice. My parents loved having their own place that they could call "home" while they visited with their dog.

Conveniently located near Catalina State Park, in a very nice neighborhood at the base of the Catalina Mountains. The property was very clean and comfortable and Ami was a great host - quick to respond and helpful. My only regret is that I could not stay longer. I hope to be back soon. Thanks, Deborah

Great location for a short stay

This property is in a great location for restaurants, shopping and hiking. Host is friendly and quick to reply to messages. Host does need to update listing as property didn’t match online photos. Living room furnishing were not as depicted and views of desert and mountains are now obscured by large storage shed and conex storage container giving an industrial feel. Property needs a good detailed cleaning. Kitchen not well suited for longer stay or meal prep.

North of Tucson Stay

Convenient to have a pool on property available for use, with our dog allowed pool-side. Note, the hot tub required advance communication to warm up- we only used once. Note, the washer/drier is an all-in-one (I'm not familiar with those), and had better luck air drying clothing vs. using the drying function. Ami was available for anything we would have needed, but didn't need to contact too much!

Fantastic views and walks, Remote & Quiet, outdoors needs attention.

The Host was most helpful, beds comfy, area quiet. I Want to give a better rating yet rented this property based on the daily use of shared outdoors area and pool. Host did not notify until arrival that the pool pump had been out. Pool was green all week. Several large Dogs are friendly yet they are in and out of pool/hot tub, did not feel the area was sanitary. Private patio has unkept chicken enclosure nearby, allowing foul smell into private area and near entryway. Parking and access great.

Love this place! Great views! Highly recommend!

Ami’s vrbo was perfect for us! Ami, family & 3 dogs are very friendly & welcoming! Ami’s home is located in the back of a safe, quiet residential area nestled up under Pusch Ridge in the Catalina Mountains. We saw folks walking, walking dogs on leashes, running & biking. Traffic was minimal & slow so it felt very safe to walk the streets to get some exercise & take in the views on our off days from hiking. This 4 room unit (entrance way/living room, dining/kitchen area, bedroom, bathroom) is very clean and comfortable, has a well-equipped kitchen & bathroom, 4 person dining area next to a huge window where the outdoors is right there (we saw hummingbirds coming to a flowering plant multiple times each morning every day) comfy bed, sheets & blankets, couch, TV’s, & we especially loved the beautiful patio in the sun, secluded from any breezes during the morning coolness. The huge windows in the living room, dining area & bedroom (with blackout curtains for night) made it easy to be connected with the outdoors & the mountains, moon, stars, sunrise, & sunset views are great. The location was wonderful! The mountain views covered in a variety of cactus are lovely & peaceful. We had a lot of fun walking the nearby wash & streets to see quail, hummingbirds, bunnies, sparkly stones, cactus, hawks, & a wide variety of songbirds. Had a coyote howl outside our window one night & saw one walking down the street one afternoon. The sunsets here are gorgeous! We'll be back!

Ami really deserves more stars than the five we can give her. Our stay couldn’t have gone better or been located more central to our plans. The apartment/house was sparkling clean and there were nice amenities like coffee and a hot air brush along with lovely towels and shower supplies. The bed was very comfortable!Having a washer/dryer made things extra simple. Our yard was private and included a hot tub, grill, and outdoor firepit. The shared pool area was lovely. Bonus that there are chickens (just like at home) and some friendly pups.Check-in and out directions were clear and I don’t think one could ask for better communication - from restaurant suggestions to letting us know when the Great Horned Owl had taken up his perch across the road!Would consider making Tucson an annual trip just to stay here.

Incredibly quiet and cozy place to use as a home base on our 5-day trip to the Tucson area. The location was perfect for getting to various hiking trails and restaurants, in addition to a friend's wedding that originally brought us to the area. Ami was friendly and responsive and we greatly appreciated the opportunity to relax here for the past few days!

It was a perfect stay for the short time we were there. Myself and my 2 toddlers slept comfortably in the king size bed and my son on the day bed, and husband on the couch. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to utilize the pool as Amy offered. She has a beautiful background surrounded with a beautiful view of the mountains. My son and husband did get to go on a trail hike in the morning near here home. It was just what we were looking for. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Ami Benson

Host profile image
I am originally from Tucson but lived in Southern California for 30 years.

I came back to Tucson to be close to family, however, I realized how much I love it here once I saw the Sunsets and Monsoons again. There are so many fun things to do in this area and so many friendly people.

I am a local Realtor with Long Realty and love anything to do with houses, remodels and decor. I also love anything outside - golf, hiking, swimming - the weather here supports a lot of year round activities.

If you are thinking to come visit Tucson/Oro Valley, I am more than happy to help recommend good places to go see during your stay!
