The home is wonderful and the host is extraordinary! The directions were perfect, the home as advertised, and the host provided excellent care. It was a perfect stay for our family. Well cared for, roomy, private, and in the midst of the desert beauty. We plan on returning when we come back to Tucson. It is also ideally locatated for exploring1

Great place, amazing location, stay, and host!

The place was amazing with a very well equipped kitchen. It has great views and a very calm feeling to it. The thoughtful touches made staying there a blast. We had family come over and our nieces (aged 2 and 5) loved playing on the swing and walking around the house. Would definitely stay there again and I highly recommend staying here.

Great place to access the Desert Museum and Saguaro Monument.

Clean, very spacious home. Rabbits, quail, roadrunners and other birds on the premises. Located on the edge of town and semi-rural. Good security with gated entry and good lighting. Interesting host who has done a fantastic job of learning to live in the desert. Would come again.

Peaceful jewel

We had the most peaceful weekend at a beautiful rental home in Tucson, Arizona. From the moment we arrived, everything felt easy and welcoming. The owner was incredibly kind and allowed us to check in earlier than expected, which made a big difference. The home had everything we needed and so much more—it truly felt like a home away from home. When my family came to visit, they couldn’t stop complimenting how gorgeous and comfortable the space was. Aside from a small hiccup with the gate, everything went smoothly. It was the perfect, soul-soothing escape.

This VRBO is a hidden jewel

We stayed for 5 days. Our flight from Seattle was delayed for 7 hours so our check in got pushed way back. Leroy was in contact the whole time with us and assured that whatever time we came in would be fine and it was. Between the well appointed house, well kept grounds and a wonderful guy like Leroy our trip and stay was saved. For us there is no reason to ever stay at a different location in Tucson and we will be back.Terry and Teri Golding, Lenore, Idaho Spring, 2025 .
