We were in town for a family birthday celebration and booked this home because it had enough rooms and appeared to have nice backyard space. We were blown away with the well appointed inside spaces but the backyard was a little slice of heaven. Highly recommend!

The house was lovely and so close to Sabino Canyon! The backyard was like its own oasis and the perfect place to relax. Morning coffee next to the water feature was magical. The attention to detail throughout the house was apparent and greatly appreciated. Filtered water, puzzles and weights, the projection TV (amazingly clear!), recycling and beautiful artwork were wonderful touches that made the whole experience even more special. Thank you for sharing your home.

The house was immaculate with easy access, a nice kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and a beautiful back yard. It was quiet and peaceful and the owner was kind and quick to respond to messages especially when I found myself in a medical emergency after checking in. After several communications the situation was eventually resolved between VRBO, the owner and myself in a manner that I appreciated and was happy with.

Desert oasis

We enjoyed living with Rosanna‘s artwork in this comfortable, well stocked home. Each morning we woke up to birds singing. Lounging in the shaded garden on the hammock and comfortable outdoor furniture was the best! This is the best place we’ve stayed in Tucson so far while visiting our daughter at the U of A.

I can’t say enough about this fantastic house!

We stay in this centrally located home every time we visit Tucson to see our relatives, and it’s always a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic, and the house is truly special, with original art thoughtfully placed in every room. The backyard is a serene oasis, complete with a lush garden feel, a gas grill, seating in two distinct areas, and even a calming water garden.Rosanna, the host, has thought of everything. The kitchen, living room, bathrooms, and bedrooms are all fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Her attention to detail makes every stay effortless and enjoyable.

Cozy, comfortable and just Perfect!

My communication with Rosanna was great, she was responded after every email and was very detailed with everything we needed to know about the house. We anticipated arriving in Tucson and early and she was able to accommodate us with an earlier than normal check-in time. The house was so nice, clean, simple and so comfortable. We were all amazed at the artwork and both the front and backyards with the plants and all the seating areas. We could not have asked for a nicer, cozier home to spend the weekend. We are already set to come back next year to participate in the Tour de Tucson again and agreed this is the perfect house for us. We cooked all our meals at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed and having the coffee and other essentials in the kitchen was an added bonus. If we could give it more stars, we definitely would give it a 10. We will be back and thank you again for being the perfect hosts.
