Desert retreat

This was a lovely house in the foothills outside Tucson. We saw a variety of wildlife while at the house, Javalina, coyotes, quail, roadrunners, rabbits and LOTS of hummingbirds. Heated pool was really nice, although the weather didn't cooperate. One morning, my daughter-in-law sat bundled up in a blanket while her son swam in the pool. It was 44 degrees out. There was plenty of dishes and cookware, lots of towels, including pool towels. Lots of books and magazines. The beds were all very comfortable. Family room is located in the back of the house, seperated from the bedrooms. It was nice so that the kids could sleep without being disturbed by our noise. Convenient to groceries at Safeway and other products at Ace Hardware. Lots of dining options.

Lovely property, tucked away at the foothills, still close to town but felt secluded as well. Loved the sights and sounds of the wildlife and the house was very roomy for everyone's stay, enjoyed our breakfast in the courtyard in the middle as well.

Perfect location

On a working vacation for spring break with three teens. This was the perfect spot. They loved the pool during the day and the two tv rooms at night including a great hangout space. The location is convenient to everything on the east side including Sabino Canyon and Mt Lemon. There was plenty of storage and the kitchen and laundry made it easy to feel at home. Will definitely be staying here again.

There is plenty of space for folks to spread out, and enough room to all be together. The pool is spotless and well maintained. The owner is hospitable and easily reachable. All house operations are well detailed and understandable. Everything that you need to have a great stay in Tucson is included in the house!

Lovely, well kept home near the Catalina foothills in a quiet neighborhood. Close to golf courses, biking paths, hiking trails, Sabino Canyon, Mt. Lemon, and Saguaro NP East.

Golf Trip

Great location, and quiet neighborhood. House was very clean. Guy was helpful and returned deposit promptly. Close to great golf courses. House met our needs and plenty of space with four bedrooms. Fully stocked kitchen, but with our small group we ate out all of our meals. Damage checklist and rule list was a little intimidating, but probably stemmed from bad guests in the past. Would stay again.

household review

this property was quite adequate for our needs for an older property. the property had a strange lay out which gave the appearance of part of the house being added on after the main house was built. The kitchen was nice and fully stocked. The pool was also quite nice but due to undisclosed hazards I recommend that future guests always wear foot coverings in the pool area as I was forced to have foot surgery to remove thorns that came from an overhanging tree onto the pool deck. I also recommend that future guests make sure that the house is fully secured due to the police coming to a neighboring house for several hours during our stay. a further recommendation for future guests is that pictures be taken of all furniture due to the host's charging for replacement furniture due to small marks on the old furniture in the house. This host claims excessive damage costs. my general recommendation is that future visitors to Tucson rent a VRBO house in the foothills that is newer and in a safer area.

Gem of a Property

This property was perfect for our family of 6. The house is very spacious and the pool was great! Even though the temperatures were in the mid-90's outside, it stayed very comfortable inside the house. I can't say enough about the location of the house, I would give the location 6 stars if I could. The house is located in a small private community near Sabino Canyon. If you like nature, need a lot of space, need a ppol, and want a resonable price then I'd highly recommend this house.

About the host

Hosted by Guy Dobbins

I have owned and cared for this home for over 30 years and raised my children there during their formative years. It is a fabulous home in a magical area with some nice upgrades along the journey. This home gets more TLC than a commercial investment property that is just about the revenue stream. I have been happy to share this wonderful place with other guests for over 12 years now as a Premier Host. I am often there twice a week to look after things or just enjoy a lounge session at the pool (when not occupied by guests).

Why they chose this property

I truly care about my guests and their Tucson experience and will go the distance to be reponsive when you give me a chance. The size of the home makes it great for large groups and smaller groups alike depending on your needs. There are plenty of vacation rentals out there, so pick one that fits your needs. Take a look at this listing and all my reviews and see if it doesn't feel like a place you can call home for a spell.

What makes this property unique
