Feels like home!

Our second stay here but this time for a full month. Very comfortable home for us and our small dog with everything we needed. We hosted nearby and visiting family a few times and had plenty of space inside and out. Great patio and outdoor space and we so enjoyed sitting out there especially in the evenings! Both Melissa and Rhea are wonderful hosts 💗 We hope to keep coming back!

1st Grandchild Visit

My husband who has ADA needs, his sister and our 5 yr old dog who’d never been this far from home visited in April. The property is beautiful, well appointed and sparkling clean. The neighborhood is well maintained and there is a trailhead right at the end of the street. The only negative related to the fact that there was no hand held shower wand in the master bathroom and there was no dresser drawer space in either of the bedrooms. Otherwise, it is truly a beautiful place that I would highly recommend. Also, the host was very great at communicating.

A Great Week

We came to Tucson to watch a week of the NJCAA soccer national tournament with our puppies. This home was fantastic and perfect for us. So very much like home and comfortable, near hiking and with space in the back for our dogs to play. A wonderful place!

Great Stay!

This was a great house to stay at for our visit to Tucson. The neighborhood was quiet, the house was clean and very well appointed, and beds are comfortable. The backyard is very large and private. It's very close to an array of trails that venture into Tucson Mountain Park, and the house is an easy drive to downtown/University of Arizona. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home

Property was exactly what we had hoped it would be! A beautiful home with everything we could need. Perfect yard for our mini dachshund who enjoyed coming & going out to the patio and turf. Our initial plan was to stay 2 weeks but we enjoyed our stay so much that we extended a few more days. The location was great for us as we were visiting our aging parents in Tucson Estates and a daughter in Menlo Park. Melissa the owner and her sister Rhea who was our onsite contact were both great to work with. We will definitely come back!

This was the most comfortable nicest place. There was everything we needed… the back yard was so nice to chill with a glass of wine and a great kitchen to cook a nice meal. The bedrooms and bathrooms had great quality sheets and towels. It was also close to everywhere we needed to go. When in Tucson we will stay again!

Fantastic wonderful accommodations, location, and hosting

This property couldn't be located in a better spot. Quiet residential neighborhood bordering Tucson Mountain Park. We hiked almost every day and there is the Bittersweet Trailhead 0.9 mile walk from the front door!! The Beehive Mountain at the end of the block is gorgeous. One night we heard coyotes howling at dusk while hiking nearby. Tweny minute drive and you are in downtown Tucson to enjoy theater, music, and great dining. We went to three concerts at the sensational FOX theater and dined at the Cup Cafe in the courtyard of the historic Congress Hotel. Sabino Canyon is about 45 minutes drive with incredible hikes and views. The Desert Museum is about 15 minute drive and all the great hiking nearby. We did Wasson Peak, Kings Canyon petroglyphs, Brown Mt Loop, and many others. We enjoyed the Linda McCartney photo exhibit at U Arizona. The two master bedrooms were great for when my sister visited and my brother and his wife. Every comfort was afforded including a wide range of spices, paper products, dish soap, and garbage bags. They even have an electric tea kettle. The weather did not allow much use of the back yard. But we hope to return and get a chance for more backyard enjoyment. We did grill twice and that worked very well. The private office was great for the work I did in the mornings and never had a problem with internet connection. Large screen TVs throughout the house worked perfectly, but we were so tired from hiking and having fun that we usually feel asleep!

Exceptional property

We couldn't have been happier or more comfortable during our week at The Beehive. Although the weather was chilly and it rained several times, we still got in a couple hikes on the Bittersweet Trail which is easily accessible by foot or short drive. On the warmest day we golfed at El Rio which is less than 20 minutes away. The lovely view of the well-landscaped back yard prevented us from feeling closed-in when the weather was less than wonderful. The home is beautifully decorated with a fully stocked and equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture and king size bed. Everything was white-glove clean throughout. We grilled several times, and it was great to not be dependent upon restaurant meals. Our host allowed us to use the garage which saved us from getting drenched coming home during a downpour. It was really nice working directly with the owner rather than dealing with a management company like we have for past rentals. Many thanks for such a pleasant vacation from ice and snow!

We're Baaack! HOORAY!

We stayed in this home back in March 2021. So glad we were able to get 2 weeks in 2023 at this gem of a house! The interior furnishings are comfy & serene. Kitchen well-appointed, but not overly so (we had all the equipment we needed to cook our meals in). The quiet backyard is top notch with plenty of seating, desert landscaping & mountain views. Our 25-year-old slept on the convertible bed in the office space & declared it very comfy. He also appreciated having his own bathroom around the corner. The addition of a hot tub would make this a 6-star rating (if there was such a thing), but you'll have plenty of fun & relaxation even without one! Love it!!

Convenience

We were here for the Gem Show & the venues were all within about 15 minutes from the house. Airport is close, too. The house is almost brand new in a quiet neighborhood. It was stocked wonderfully with soft towels and a pantry full of goodies in case you wanted to cook in. This area of town did not have any restaurants close by, but like I said, everything is within an easy drive if you wanted to go out to eat. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it if you are visiting the Tucson area.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Stewart

Melissa is the owner and founder of both The Plant People and Fun With Plants. As a busy business owner, she splits her time living in Tucson and California. Her sister Rhea lives locally and helps Melissa maintain the property and host many happy guests.

Why they chose this property

This property is beautifully furnished and well thought out to meet all of your home away from home needs. Just 20 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes away from shopping and dining. The area also features hiking, golf, skeet shooting, and of course, the casino. U of A is approximately a 30 minute drive. Plenty of sight seeing locally as well.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique in the fact that there are two full master suites situated at the opposite ends of the house. The third bedroom is located at the center of the house and set up as an office, but easily converts into another area for sleeping.
