Incredible house!!
Our large family was visiting Tucson for an even larger family reunion. Staying in the gorgeous historic Adobe Victorian Blenman House together as a family was WONDERFUL!! Added so much to our time there! The front porch and pool were awesome! Great comfort and beauty throughout... we all loved it!!

Perfect wedding
We needed a large house for our extended family to stay in while celebrating our son's wedding in Tucson. The Blenman House was perfect. We enjoyed spending time chatting on the front porch and the central living area, and hanging out by the pool. We especially loved seeing the cats each day. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The location was within walking distance of restaurants, arts/music, and shopping, so we were able to find something fun for people from age 16 to 82 to do. Convenient parking, too. Our hosts were very helpful assisting with delivery of oxygen equipment for a family member. Thank you!

Family reunion at Blenman House
This is a beautiful historic home with a location downtown that can’t be beat. Our family of 16 prepared many of our own meals in the well equipped kitchen, and also enjoyed special meals out in downtown restaurants. One night we all took in a musical at the Temple of Music and Art two blocks away. The bedrooms are spacious and lovely. We had a great week together here.

Loved this historic home and its location
This home is beautiful. So much to look at in every room. My family stayed here for my brother's wedding weekend. His reception was at the Scottish Rite Cathedral next door - the location cannot be beat! We loved staying in this home and we were all very comfortable. Thank you BJ for being a great host!

Very cool historic house
Stayed here with 6 other couples for a Football game. Ate all our meals here but many good restaurants blocks away in this prime location. One of the best places we have stayed with a large group.
