Paradise in Picture Rocks

Lou and Ozzie are fabulous hosts. They go out of their way to make your stay at, (The Bunkhouse) an amazing experience. They also give you your space on the property. Their attention to detail is spot on, as far as what they include in The Bunkhouse for your stay. The area is rural and quiet but you are not far from Marana or Tucson. I have yet to meet hosts that are as accepting as these two. 10 out of 10.

What a beautiful property! When we pulled in we were immediately met by the Hosts who were gracious and welcoming! The kitchen was well stocked and easy to prepare meals. The focal point of our stay was the front porch! What a Time Suck! In the morning while it's still cool(we went in July) we would have our tea and plan our day! What with the Hummingbirds flying all around and watching the rabbits and other wildlife it could take hours just to leave! Time Suck! Then in the evening, it's the sunset that does you in, because it goes on for hours! Also, this location is superb! It's not in Tucson proper, but off the beaten path

Nice rural desert location

Great Place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay in The Bunkhouse! We chose to stay here because of its proximity to the venue for the wedding we were attending, but if we are ever in the area again, we would stay here again. It was nice to sit on the deck and watch the hummingbirds. Great accommodations! Thank you for sharing The Bunkhouse with us!

Peaceful, cozy and cute!

Loved our time at the Bunkhouse! It is the perfect place to stay to be right by Saguaro National Park. Hiking and views are right outside the door. The porch was perfect for watching birds and bunnies. We felt right at home and appreciated the great use of space- it’s small but room enough for the two of us. We stayed at Christmas and were so happy to see a little tree complete with a wrapped gift!

About the host

Hosted by Lou Medran

Host profile image
Longtime Tucson residents that love desert living and the outdoors. Ozzie moved here 19 years ago from the east coast and would not trade living in the desert for anywhere else.
I simply love it here.

Why they chose this property

Quiet picturesque setting. We enjoy tranquil days and amazing starry nights in the heart of the Tucson Mountains. Enjoy bird watching for hummingbirds, eagles, owls, woodpeckers, quail and if you're really lucky... a Roadrunner... Beep Beep! We're close to Old Tucson Studios, Saguaro National Park, The Ironwood National Monument, and a easy day trip away from world famous Tombstone, Tubac art community, Bisbee, a mining town known for its blue turquoise, Colossal Cave and many more. Come for one of our many festivals, The world-famous Tucson Gem and Mineral show, Mariachi Festival, El Tour de Tucson bicycle race, The Fiesta De Los Vaqueros Tucson Rodeo and Rex Allen Days in Wilcox Az. to name a few. Whatever you reason for visiting southern Arizona we think you'll enjoy our hospitality and peaceful setting.

What makes this property unique

Owners would love to take you on guided morning hikes through The Tucson Mountains, visiting abandoned mines and ancient Indian petroglyphs. Relax by the pool or snooze in the hammock under a huge ironwood tree or enjoy the sunsets from the large front porch see coyote, quail, rabbits and if you're really fortunate maybe even a bobcat. Bird watch, pick fresh oranges & grapefruit to enjoy for breakfast.
