Sonoran Desert Gem

A true Sonoran Desert experience, private, quiet, and very well appointed! The views from the backyard are incredible, and the house is very comfortable! We had everything we could possibly need. Our family loved staying here! Thank you.

Stay near Saguaro National Park

We selected this property based on the location in the area of the Saguaro National Park. The listing was accurate, and we were happy with our choice. Our trip was in early October 2020. We took several hikes in the area as recommended by the owner. One of our favorite hikes was the Hugh Norris trail which takes you along a ridge line inside the National Park. The hike is best experienced starting in the morning so you have an abundance of shade during the ascent.

Just what we wanted!

This Boho place is well equipped and did not disappoint! Comfy both in/out, super cute furnishings. Shelly was a great communicator both on the house notes and emails. We will come back for sure!
