ABOUT TUCSON
----------------------
Guest ranches, horseback rides, and cattle drives recall Old West roots, but you’ll also find yourself smack-dab in a hub of spas, resort hotels, and championship golf courses...not to mention amazing, trend-setting restaurants. Tucson was the first city to earn the designation of a World City of Gastronomy by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Plus, with a thriving visual and performing arts scene and respected galleries and museums, Tucson’s vibrant multicultural heritage shines.

Famous for its dramatic beauty, the Sonoran Desert covers this region with spectacular cacti – including the giant saguaro, a symbol of the American Southwest. But don’t be fooled by the term “desert” because mountain ranges in all directions offer scenic drives and even snow skiing. In the winter you can go for a hike in the valley, then drive up to Mt. Lemmon and enjoy the slopes. Tucson’s legendary year-round sunshine and saguaro-and-sunset landscape have romanced visitors for decades. Tucson's coldest month is January when the average temperature overnight is 38.9°F. In June, the warmest month, the average day time temperature rises to 100.2°F.

If you are visiting Tucson, it's a great time to consider a jaunt across the Arizona border into Nogales, Sonora, Mexico and get a taste of the charm and traditions of Old Mexico. Nogales is only about 60 miles south of Tucson on Interstate 19.

Once you immerse yourself in the laid-back atmosphere of Tucson, you may never want to leave.

Just what we needed
The house was in a great location and the perfect size for our needs. I really enjoyed the decor, and the tiling in the bathrooms was really beautiful. We were there in February so the pool was too cold to swim in, but our children tried anyways and had a blast! Our host was responsive and professional, sent relevant information when it was needed. I appreciate we didn’t have to strip the beds, wash towels or anything too time intensive before we left— just do general cleanup of your stuff, put things back where you found them. We really enjoyed our stay, and would book again the next time we visit family in Tucson.
