Enjoyed Our Stay

This was a nice clean, quiet place with a big backyard overlooking the mountains. Lots of bird activity if you kept the feeders filled. We loved seeing the Quail come to the feeders. We liked walking around the neighborhood and enjoyed the hot tub. The sauna was a bust though, never broke a sweat in it and the wifi was slow and spotty. Other than those two things we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. Easy communication with host who gave us suggestions on restaurants and things to do. What you see in the VRBO listing is what it is although we didn't think the pictures did it justice. (Much nicer!)

My desert oasis!

I want to keep this wonderful rental my own little secret because it is absolutely amazing! This is the BEST rental we have ever stayed in. And trust me-we are very picky. The bed was more comfortable than my Tempurpedic at home. I could have slept all day. But I was up early each morning to drink my coffee on the back patio and visit with the birds and bunnies. In the past, we have stayed in the foothills but there were numerous restaurants nearby. The Tohono Chul gardens were less than three miles away, with delicious food, great shopping, and wonderful walks. The homeowner was very kind sending us information before our arrival and making sure we got nicely settled when we arrived. I also feel like the checkout was less involved than many other rentals. The hot tub was a relaxing retreat after a fun day of sightseeing. But has twinkle lights and water lights if you wanted to make it a party atmosphere. I highly recommend this rental but make sure to leave a week available for me because I will be coming back!

Peaceful getaway- we loved it as much as our dogs!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property and our dogs loved the large fenced in yard as much as we did. It was nice to relax in the several seating areas in the backyard. We put birdseed out and filled the hummingbird feeder so we could see and appreciate many different types of birds and bunnies. There are stunning mountain views from both the front and back of the property. It is in a neighborhood, however with the wash to one side and enough distance and foliage between neighbors, it felt very secluded and private. Minutes from shopping and hiking made it a very convenient location. Sue was excellent in keeping in contact with tips and if we needed anything or had questions. Would definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Sue

My husband and I are Minnesotans. We never really thought about vacationing in Arizona until our two daughters moved to Tucson and Phoenix. We love Tucson! It has mountain ranges in all directions. We love to hike Catalina State Park or other closeby hiking trails. As real estate investors, we realized Tucson was a smart investment area.
Our home is peaceful with gorgeous views- very private, yet centrally located. We look forward to your visit to our home. We love it here and we know you will too.

We love the views from the sun room and the back yard while sitting in the sauna, hot tub, or just sitting at the patio table. There are also city lights and gorgeous sunsets to be seen! A very private setting.
We hope you decide to stay with us, because you will want to come back on your next vacation!

Why they chose this property

All of Tucson has mountain views but this home looks like it's tucked in to the mountain. If you are looking for a vacation near Tucson sites, this home is just a number of blocks over the Oro Valley line, which makes it central to everything. We love the mountain views from the living room or the sun room or office and Master bedroom. It feels as though we are in the country up here. It is extremely tranquil- hear the coyotes at night -

What makes this property unique

We love the views from the back yard or the front yard - three mountain ranges can be seen. The house is extremely comfortable- complete with an Arizona room, plus a private den/office. Inside- modern bamboo floors. Comfortable Furnishings- love the master bed- better than the one in my own home! Fully equipped kitchen with everything you will need. You will love staying here... If tranquility, nature, and mountains are what you are looking for in a place for your next vacation, then look no further. The backyard oasis is completely fenced and has two flagstone patios, a ramada complete with hot tub (offline until the end of Nov.) and infrared sauna. Grill away on the portable gas grill located just off the main patio or grill on the Weber charcoal grill, with dining table and two chaise lounge chairs. For those evening campfires, there's a portable fire pit for your use- horseshoes for some competitive play, along with a ladderball game for more outdoor activity. If you want to see birds, merely hang a seed bell from the last Palo Verde tree by the cedar rail fence, or hang another one between the rails, and in a day or two you will be amazed at all variety of birds, including Quail, you will have attracted. Rancho is truly a wonderfully comfortable home- quiet surroundings, breathtaking mountain views with nature abounding- plus, convenient to all activities, shopping, the back way to Phoenix. Our hope is that once you stay at 'Rancho' you will want to come back again and again- whether for a family gathering for a holiday week, or great for cycling enthusiasts, or snow birds looking for a longer stay... you'll love 'Rancho' for your retreat. We do accept well behaved dogs, so you may bring your pet friend/children with you!(some restrictions may apply as well as pet fee.) Beauty, peaceful surroundings, comfort, and location are key components to 'Rancho's' appeal. Snowbird monthly stay,rent by the 1st of ea. month- January, February, March, April.
