AMAZING VIEWS, POOL, HOT TUB, BREATHTAKING BALCONY, 1GB WIFI, OPEN LAYOUT

*** Based on feedback from Winter guests, once the house had a window of down time, many improvements and upgrades were scheduled and made during the past couple of months especially during April when new carpet and furniture were put in. ***

Including beautiful hiking trails (Catalina State Park, Sabino Canyon, etc.), accessible and well maintained bike routes (The Loop trail and plenty of mountain bike trails), numerous world class golf courses (Tucson National and many others), University of Arizona athletic events, Reid Park Zoo, Desert Museum, Saguaro National Park, and plenty more.

Enjoy the outdoor hot tub with fantastic views of the Catalinas. Relax in the comfortable outdoor furniture, chaise lounges or zero-gravity chairs. The outdoor dining island with built-in grill is perfect for cooking up a feast. Pick blood oranges and tangelos straight from the trees and squeeze into fresh juice or your favorite cocktail.

R & P stay from 2024-11 to 2025-02

Pros: Nice backyard with pool and hot tub; we did not use either. Sitting area outside under cover is nice. Great view of the Catalinas. Host excellent to communicate with. House is in good location in Oro Valley.Cons: Living room a little spartanly furnished. Rest of house OK. Lots of minor 'problems': (a) dryer start button was finicky; (b) dishwasher not secure in space; (c) no vent over gas stove; (d) due to (c), smoke detectors come on when frying anything.Conclusion: My wife thought the place 'OK'; me not so much. We would not return.

Enjoyable Week

Pool, hot tub, location, and views were great. I was disappointed in the large, multiple stains on the carpet in the bedrooms and inside chairs. I had to wipe down the outside tables of dust and water marks (not a big deal but patio area was not clean). It suited our needs but the property needs a renovation.

Okay

We enjoyed the location, the view, and communication was smooth. The house is okay, but it is tired and shows better in photos than in person. Lots of things that did not work and deferred maintenance. It has potential but needs some attention.

Needs Attention

The entire house needs a deep cleaning - food stuck inside kitchen cabs and fridge drawers. Windows streaked and covered with dog slobber. Couldn’t use master shower due to black mold. Carpeting in master shredding and covered with stains. Holes in living room couch, outdoor cushions torn. Were there for 10 days and only given 1 tea towel, 2 bath towels and one hand towel. Couldn’t find any cleaning supplies in the house - had to go buy my own. Place is in a good location and has nice views. Hot tub a plus. Note: pool is not heated. This could be a great place if owner would just clean it up.

Not as advertised

The propert was dirty, sparse uncomfortable furniture with holes in it. Pool was dirty, hot tub was cold. No linens, no cleaning supplies. Stayed 1 night of 8 day reservation. Told him how unhappy we were and basically said too bad. Really should refund our money minus the one night stay. Not holding my breath.

Don’t think, just book the property!

Ryan was in touch every step of the way. He was helpful in providing things to do in the area and information about the house. The house was perfect and had everything we needed for the week we were there. We are excited to stay again in the near future. Great neighborhood and felt safe the whole time.

Nice home, quiet neighborhood

Lovely home, close to many amenities. A few things could be improved. -Could have used more toilet paper and paper towels right off the bat. Could have used more blankets. -The AC resetting itself constantly was super annoying. 2 family members staying have medical conditions where heat can be a real issue and it would’ve been nice to have left the AC at 70 (the limit). -Upstairs balcony provided beautiful views, however the white railing is incredibly unstable. -Could have been cleaner. Downstairs floor, couch, kitchen counter and upstairs bathrooms were dirty. This was noticed at first arrival. Nobody opened windows or left any doors open. Wasn’t disgusting by any means, just noticed it looked like they hadn’t been cleaned/wiped down. Pros: -The backyard was lovely for morning coffee, as well as the evening when it cooled down. -Pool was a cute size and relaxing. -Enjoyed the open concept kitchen, dining and living area. -Owner provided large beach towels, so we didn’t have to bring our own. -Kitchen had plenty of dishes, appliances. -Short walk to Hohokum park and close driving distance to shopping, dining & Catalina State Park. -For us, we have family that lives about 3 minutes away. So location was a huge plus for us. And we felt it was a nice, safe, quiet neighborhood. Overall we had a great time & owner was very reposonsive. Just a few tweaks here and there could be made IMO.

Graduation savior

A few weeks before my son’s graduation; the house we rented sold and my family and I had no place to stay! On the last page of VRBO up popped this gem. I contacted them and paid and we were off and running! Is it a bit far from campus yes, but that being said it forced us out of the routine of the 2 mile square we usually hovered in. I saw parts of Tucson and the surrounding area I had not before. It was so neat. The house made a lovely quiet refuge from an incredibly hectic weekend! The kitchen was well appointed and the house was just right for us to wind down and enjoy the eventings! Thank you so much for coming to our rescue!!!

Perfect escape

Searching for a break from northwest weather. We have stayed at multiple properties in Oro Valley over the years, this time decided to spend a month. This property was our favorite! The house was very clean and well stocked, has plenty of room and the views from the backyard were beautiful. Ryan was very responsive to all our questions. Will definitely be back.

Enjoyable Week in Tucson

The house was nice and clean, as was the backyard and pool area. Great views of the mountains, and a nice buffer zone of desert land directly behind the backyard. Too bad it was a bit cool to swim, but we did use use the hot tub. Everything you would want to do or see in the area is within a 35 minute drive. We enjoyed walking the sidewalks of the quiet neighborhood. Ryan was very responsive and provided all the information we needed for our contactless stay. The Wi-Fi signal did have a tendency to drop out from time to time.

Recent stay

The house is very nice and the backyard has beautiful views of the mountains. It is a very nice safe neighborhood. We were staying for 10 days and were surprised there was only one bath towel per person - so we had a total of two. We had to go to store to buy towels, Kleenex, laundry soap and napkins. I texted the owner and he responded right away that they only have minimal supplies at the house. So, just be sure you bring your own supplies if you are staying more than a few days.

Incredible views!!!

This was our first visit to Tucson and Oro Valley what a beautiful area. The views from this house are magnificent! You can enjoy them from the the gorgeous backyard and pool area and they get even better from the upper deck where we watched the sun set. The location is fantastic. There are trails for hiking and walking a couple of blocks from the front door. Incredible restaurants, grocery stores and shopping are very close to the house. Very quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors! Saguaro National Park was only a 30 minute drive and was a must see! Ryan was very easy to communicate with and was always quick to respond with any questions we had. A great Christmas vacation for our family!

The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The house was roomy enough to feed a Thanksgiving meal to our son’s college friends comfortably. The view from the backyard is fabulous!

Excellent desert family vacation!

Stayed at this property with my husband and 3 adult children for a week. The property was very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub and beautiful view everyday. It was nice to be able to cook, grill and eat meals instead of going out all the time. The neighborhood was very nice and we found a walking/biking trail just a block or two away that we visited many times. The location was great with many trails and activities within an hours distance. We hiked Cataline State Park, Linda Vista Loop Trail and the Bear Canyon to Seven Falls Trail in Sabino Canyon (this one was especially spectacular). We also visited Tohono Chul Gardens and Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum. Would stay again!!

Great pool

The house is in a great location, the pool is awesome, and the kitchen was nice. The sheets and towels we had to wash before using them, it was a little musty, not as clean as I would expect. And we had to continuously fix the air conditioner settings to stay cool in the summer. But a great outdoor area.

Staycation

It was a perfect little local get away for our family! Loved the pool and location. The house had every amenity you can imagine- including a combo Keurig/coffee pot which was so nice to have the option of both. The extra little touches like plenty of floatations for the pool, local coffee samples, take one leave one wine, books and games, direct TV. Honestly, everything was perfect! If I was forced to give any improvement ideas, it would just maybe be the couch in the family room could be larger and more comfortable. We will definitely be back regardless! Thank you!!

Perfect Oro Valley location with everything!

I love Tucson and this house was the perfect location for a week escaping the Pacific Northwest rain! The pool was perfect! My bestie and I made this our home base for all of our favorite desert activities. The check in process was seamless and the owners were super attentive. We love the area and there's so much local hiking; Honeybee Canyon was a favorite and only a few minutes away. The view of the Catalinas from the gorgeous backyard was incredible. The house was super clean, comfy and the kitchen was thoughtfully outfitted. Very impressive. We left some basic amenities like dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper and paper towels that will hopefully be passed on to the next guest! Thanks to Ryan for a terrific stay!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan McIntyre

Host profile image
Our family moved to Tucson in July 2018 to enjoy outdoor activities year-round. The hiking has not disappointed! Even with young children, we love getting out of doors and onto the hiking trails. Some of our favorites; Honeybee Canyon and Catalina State Park, are within 3 miles of the Yellow Orchid house. After getting our exercise on the trail, we love relaxing in the pool and soaking in the soaring mountain views.

We are so excited to share our love of Tucson with you!

Why they chose this property

From first sight, the backyard at Yellow Orchid took our breath away, and we seized the opportunity to create a haven with our own special touch. After a complete renovation, we are thrilled to offer our home as accommodations for you and your travel companions.

What makes this property unique

Newly renovated inside and out. Furnishings are fresh and comfortable. Kitchen is spacious and well-equipped. Backyard is an oasis, overlooking the desert and mountain landscape.
