About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Magical, Private, High-End, Mountain-Top Estate

[COVID Update - the house is away from it all, so is a wonderful place to be, you don't have to see anybody face-to-face, so social distancing is easy. We have an enhanced refund policy, beyond the standard VRBO system's. If you purchase travel insurance, it’s utilized, and we are paid for the rental, we will reimburse you for the policy cost, even if you cancel the trip right before your stay]

4,400 Sq. Ft of remodeled luxury on a private, hilltop 5-acre parcel. Private road that dead-ends up at the house. Pictures don't do it justice. The magical feeling you have on the property is hard to describe. We have renters who keep coming back, year after year.

Smoke-Free, Pet Free. Minimum length of stay 7 days. Ask us about guest memberships for Ventana Canyon Golf and Tennis, Spa, Fitness, Pool and Dining. No kids (below age 16) are allowed up at the home, even for a visit, since the deck railings are not child-proof.

About 80% of the people who have rented this home come back for return visits, a good indication of its quality and magnificence. About half of the rental parties are just a couple (2 people), though there's obviously plenty of room for 4-6 people.

We have another property at vrbo.com/358276 that's been rented for a while, it has over 140, five-star reviews. From that, you can get an idea of how well we treat our guests.

Visitors describe this as an absolutely magical place. What separates this property from other homes, besides the phenomenal views, is the quiet and privacy. The private drive dead-ends to the 5-acre lot, and the way it's situated in the mountains, allows for a feeling of a complete get-away. Other homes may be in the mountains, but often have neighbors and roads so close that you hear cars, dogs barking, landscapers, etc. This property is adjacent to the Sabino Canyon National Park, a place with miles of hikes and walks. The property is high enough to see over the Tucson mountains to the west, and about 60 miles into the mountains in Mexico!

The furnishings and finishes are high-end. Natural clay walls, Solid wood furniture, leather chairs, $6,000 heated, Japanese bidet Toto Neorest toilets, custom mirrors and artwork. Custom quartz countertops throughout.

Full, monitored security system and ANSI-level 1&2 locks & security doors. Ask us about short-term memberships for the nationally acclaimed resort - The Lodge at Ventana Canyon. This resort has a full exercise facility, a 365/7 heated resort pool, a full sized lap pool, pool house with lockers/showers/towels, and cabanas. Golf (ranked in the top 75 in North America), Tennis (ranked in the top 50 in the world), Spa and Dining available at Owner's guest member rates (discounted) for up to 7 days during your stay. This is set-up prior to your arrival. It's perfect for golfers, who can save a substantial amount on clubs and green fees using our membership.

The home is equipped includes a custom, comprehensive renter's guide with instructions on the operation of the house, appliances and entertainment, room-by-room inventory list, along with information of attractions and the best dining.

Great house, great host

The property is just as listed- spacious, comfortable, and in perfect order, with spectacular views. It was a pleasure to be there for a week watching sunrises and sunsets. There’s a special feeling of peace and serenity being high up in the hills looking over at Sabino canyon. If I could rate communication with the host six stars, I would. Jason really makes you feel that anything and everything can be taken care of. I highly recommend this lovely home.

Ideal location - quiet and yet close to everything!

Loved the views! We enjoyed watching the sun rise and set every day. The property is quiet and feels a world away from the city and yet restaurants, groceries, etc. are just a few minutes away. It's a short walk to the trailheads in Sabino Canyon, so if you like to hike, it's in an ideal location. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped. We have nothing but good things to say!

Beautiful home and view next to Sabino Rec Area!

This was our third stay with Jason the host and again he was wonderful as always. The house is beautiful and situated up on our side of the mountain next to Sabino recreation area. The area cannot be nicer and it is always a great pleasure to stay there. The host is excellent and responds immediately to questions or concerns. The neighborhood is wonderful and we hope to return for years to come! Thanks again for an awesome stay Jason!

Epic Desert Views and Sunsets

Impeccable property, with custom wood work inside through out the house. This property was a treat to stay at in terms of privacy, unprecedented views of the Sabino Canyon (and the city light views and night) and still within 15-20 min of anything. Jason, the homeowner, was very responsive to any questions we had and is a gentleman. The rooms are very spacious and this house had everything and more for us to relax and enjoy our stay. Thank you, it was a pleasure!

Amazing Christmas family vacation

Our host was incredible in responsiveness and clarity in using his exceptional property. We love to hike and could walk to the Sabino canyon trails which were right out our back door. The mountain and city views are spectacular and so much that we chose to use the very well stocked kitchen every night and take in the sunsets. Thank you for helping us make incredible memories

PERFECTION

This is a beautiful home loaded with amenities and the most magnificent view with incomparable sunsets. You feel as though you have wonderful privacy yet are only minutes from any activity you might enjoy. Just about everything you could need was provided by the host. The bidets were an added bonus. Jason is a marvelous host who responds to any correspondence immediately and leaves very clear instructions for operating anything. This has been the third VRBO property we rented in the past year and by far the absolute best. When a vacation to Tucson is back on the agenda I would definitely rent this property again. Thank you Jason for making our trip wonderful with lovely memories.
