The most amazing place in Tucson!

We were lucky enough to get to stay at Lynne's property for a whole week. The house is amazing, with amazing views. The hot tub was so relaxing with the view of the sunrise and the mountains! Everything you need, and more is available on this property. Lynne was a great host, gave us a tour of the property, and was only a few houses away if we needed anything. The privacy, and beauty of this home made for a perfect vacation and birthday! We will be back, next time for graduation! Thank you Lynne for having us!

Fantastic stay

It's all been said, but we were very happy with our stay all around! Lynne could not have been more helpful and responsive to our needs over the course of our 9 nights. The views are just as beautiful as pictured and the location is so convenient and quiet. I sure hope we get back to Tucson again and certainly have no reason to stay anywhere else if we do! Thanks again, Lynne!

Wonderful view from a convenient location

The property is great. The location west of town in the hills is convenient, and the house and yard are well-maintained and very comfortable. We thought that the current decoration is very attractive and nicely done--more so than the pictures made it appear. We are hoping to go back there again. There are many great hiking trails and restaurants and stores nearby, and a couple golf courses that are close as well.

Only one issue

This is a great property, with great views from up on the hills west of Tucson. Lots of room and very clean. Only one issue, we were staying in Tucson for the Rock and Mineral show to buy inventory. On the last day of our stay we needed to rent a U-Haul trailer. There is no room on this property to park a Truck and Trailer. The owners could not know we needed to do this so it wasn't their fault, this is just a warning that if you have an oversized vehicle there is no place to park on the street. Also, the drive ways are steep (no problem for a standard car) for pulling up a car/trailer combination. We lucked out and the neighbors let us park in their pull through driveway for a night. Very nice neighbors. Would recommend with just the one issue to be aware of.

A comfortable and relaxing place to be...

The property looked very nice on-screen when we chose it; but, in-person, it turned out to be even better than we imagined it would be! The floor-plan and layout was ideal for our group of 5 adults. Everyone had space to themselves, and, equally, everyone had opportunity to "hang out" and visit with each other. We needed this, as we travelled here to bury my wife's sister and her husband, who both died unexpectedly this year. One last thing about the property is this – the view is as relaxing as the house is. Lynne & Bill, our hosts & property owners, could not have been more gracious and accommodating. They were informative about the area, providing helpful tips, and responsive to our needs. Talking with Lynne felt like talking with someone I already knew. This property is a very comfortable place – we would have liked to stay an extra day or two, but our schedule wouldn't allow it, and we had to move on. If/When we are back in the area, this property will be my first choice for where to stay.

A Tucson Treasure

This was one of the most comfortable homes I've ever stayed in. I loved the layout with the courtyard in the center overlooking the lights of Tucson. Great location for our trip to beautiful Arizona. This home was also very well stocked with kitchen equipment. We had everything we needed.

Time to breathe

The house and grounds were perfect for us. The patio not only had fabulous views, it was where we spent most of our waking hours - eating, talking, reading, using the hot tub. The house was perfect for our group of 7 and our dog. Lynne and her notebooks were immensely helpful. The book of restaurant menus and the list of attractions were great. The instructions for using the hot tub and the home were a plus. Lynne's advice about local event traffic and the lunar eclipse were really supported us. We are definitely ready to go back.

Ideal location for desert exploration

Mountain Gardens is an older development perched in the hills between the city and Tucson Mountain Park. There's a good trail just at the end of the street, and the best hiking in the area is within a few miles--we hiked every day for two weeks and didn't come close to exhausting the options. The house is comfortable, and the patio is perfectly situated for sunrise viewing (the best sunset viewing is also close by, just across Gates Pass). From the patio, we saw hawks, hummingbirds, night jars, cactus wrens, gila woodpeckers, curved bill thrashers, and many more birds--including a roadrunner who hopped the wall and investigated the hot tub--and, in the neighborhood, javelinas, mule deer, and a rattler (easing himself out of our way). The house hadn't been rented for a while (summer, Covid), so there were a few hiccups when we arrived, but Lynne was incredibly attentive and addressed the issues immediately. When she learned a couple of us were birders, she even brought down a feeder. All in all, a wonderful stay, and we'll be happy to return.

About the host

Hosted by Lynne and Bill

My husband and I have lived in Tucson since 1976 when we came for graduate work at the University of Arizona and we plan to live here the rest of our lives. We love the casual lifestyle, the friendly Arizonans, and the weather where your picnics are never rained out. My husband and I are engineers, although I have recently entered the world of real estate as a salesperson. This is now one of three rental properties in the Tucson Mountains

Why they chose this property

We love the house; we love the neighborhood; we knew the previous owner and the builder. We love how you can sit outside in the u-shaped patio surrounded by incredible views of the city and surrounding mountains, or sit inside and feel like you're outside due to the large windows and glass doors. We love hearing the coyotes call to each other at night; we love watching the shooting stars; we love seeing the colorful hummingbirds sip nectar from flowers, watching the mule deer as they come down from the mountains in the afternoon to graze on the jojoba, and the javalina as they move in a herd through the desert. It's all right there at our doorstep. And finally, we love this property for its convenience. In minutes we can be downtown at the Convention Center, the University of Arizona, University Medical Center, some of the best restaurants in Tucson, museums, and attractions. We have the best of both worlds - desert tranquility and beauty while being within a 10 minute drive from Tucson and city life.

What makes this property unique

After searching properties for over a year, our casa, Entrada de los Montanas, was the choice. Its location offered million dollar views, and its layout made for a comfortable and relaxed living style. After a full year of working to upgrade the property, it was finally ready to offer to you, our visitors, for your vacation rental. From the new air conditioning and heating system to the carefully selected Southwestern furnishings we have tried to give visitors a WOW feeling from the time you open the front door until the day you leave. Comfort, privacy, beauty, convenience, ease and grace are words we hope our property conveys. We will strive to make your vacation the best one ever.
