About this property

DESERT AND MOUNTAIN VISTAS!

Our home is located in the beautiful Santa Catalinea foothills at an elevation of 3300 feet and is situated within the award-winning and breathtaking community of Saddlebrooke, Arizona.

Peruse this website, https://sbhoa2.org/, to see all Saddlebrooke has to offer and then return to check out the below description of our beautiful home that lies within this community. Note: We are brand new to VRBO as of April 21, 2023 which is why we don't yet have any reviews. We hope you will be the first to provide one!!

Walking in the front door of this home definietly has the "WOW" factor. Very open and full of natural light with high ceilings, large windows and ceiling fans throughout the house. We are located on a quiet street with amazing desert vistas from the backyard patio where you are likely to see deer, javelina, coyotes and dozens of bird species including birds of prey and great-horned owls.

In your vacation home you will find a fully-stocked island kitchen with table-setting service for 6 (or more if needed), wine glasses of many shapes and sizes, all the cookware and utensils needed for gourmet cooking, a Keurig coffe maker, a walk-in pantry stocked with miscellaneous small cooking appliances, serving platters and bowls and essentials such as oils, flours, sugars, etc., and lastly a spice cabinet chuck full of most all the spices you will need.

The kitchen adjoins a light and bright dining area with large dining room table (seats 6 comfortably) and is surround by picture windows looking out onto the nicely landscaped back yard. Picture your breakfasts there enjoying the view of the desert and the many birds (including dozens of quail and the occasional spectacular cardinal) that frequent our birdfeeders.

The sliding glass doors from the dining room open onto a double-size patio with a fire-pit table, Weber BBQ, patio table with red umbrella that has a spectacular view of the Catalina Mountains, two overhead fans that provide a breeze on even the warmest of days and sun shades if needed. The patio is westward facing, has no neighbors behind as it is bordered by a large desertscape. The patio is covered and deep so even the afternoon sun cannot reach you as you enjoy this outdoor space and anticipate the gorgous desert sunsets.

The en-suite master bedroom is spacious with a luxurious king-size bed and sliding glass doors that open to the patio on one side of the room and opposite is the private full bathroom with a large walk-in shower, water closet, mirrored medicine cabinets, double sink vanity with large mirror and linen closet.

The guest bedroom and bathroom are located on the opposite side of the home from the master bedroom which gives both a sense of privacy. The guest bedroom has the best view of the mountains through a shuttered window, is furnished with a king-size bed, side tables, a dresser, 44" TV and spacious closet. Directly adjacent to the guest bedroom is the guest bathroom with shuttered window, tub/shower combination, vanity, and (of course) toilet.

The large living room is open to the kitchen and dining room and has a magnificent picture window that brightens the entire space. It is furnished with an off-white couch, loveseat and chair atop a charming rug in a southwestern design along with a stereo system and 75" flat-screen Samsung TV.

Off of the living room is the den furnished with a brand new lazy-boy couch containing a queen-size bed along with a 56" flat screen TV, a recliner and shuttered window. (This is also where you will find the Epson wifi-enabled printer)

There is a washer and dryer available for your use in the utility room which opens to the two-gar garage.

As our guest at Saddlebrooke and with the purchase of a guest pass ($10 each), you will have full access to three golf courses (fees involved), four swimming pools and spas, a full fitness gym, a library and several restaurants and bars. You will be within walking distance of the Desert View Performing Arts Center and Sports complex where you will be able to reserve tickets for musicals, singing groups and other events as well as getting in your morning workout and/or lap swimming in an Olympic-size lap pool.

If you've done your vacation homework you know there are a lot of attractions to visit in the Tucson area. The Santa Catalina Mountains and surrounding desert are a hikers/bikers paradise.

Every day here is a true vacation....

A Wonderful Stay

My wife and I arrived Feb 1st for a two month stay. The house was well prepared and our stay was terrific. We had absolutely no issues with the house during our two months. The hosts were always available if needed and advised us a couple of times regarding upcoming events. Jan made sure that there were little extra in the house for us and most of the cooking essentials were in the cupboards. The Saddlebrooke community was very welcoming. We enjoyed golfing, hiking and going to the gym which was a short walk from the house. We would highly recommend this stay and hope to return again soon.

Host profile image
Michael and I are from the Seattle/Tacoma area of the State of Washington and have been married 16 years. We've only owned this beautiful home in Saddlebrooke Arizona for two years. We enjoy cooking meals together, bike riding and spending time outdoors.

During the summer months we travel back toWashington to spend time with our children and grand-children. When in Washington we live in our fifth-wheel while performing the responsibilities of State park hosts at Lewis and Clark State Park and Ike Kinswa State Park. We enjoy traveling and sometimes choose to spend our winters in the Puerto Vallarta area.

We hope you will come and enjoy all our Saddlebrooke property has to offer.
