We are birdwatchers and this place was the perfect location to go up Mt Lemmon, as they are right at the base. We enjoyed walking around the area too. Cute place with all we needed! The owner was very responsive by text.

Quiet and Close to Hiking

Not fancy, but a very comfortable place to stay. Close proximity to Mt Lemmon, Sabino Canyon and more for birding and hiking opportunities. Kitchen has everything you need. Would definitely stay again. Thanks David & Alex.

Nice, simple amenities

David and Alex were excellent hosts and we enjoyed our time here. A layout note - the only restroom is en suite to the bedroom. Probably fine for most but we stayed with our 20-month old son and the room was plenty large enough for the pack and play but we did have to go through the bedroom to use the bathroom and shower which was a little stressful once our little one was asleep for the night. The amenities were excellent and the location is convenient for a short drive to Sabino Canyon and the east side of Saguaro NP. We would stay here again!

Great for small family stay

David and Alex were great hosts, super responsive especially when internet was out, and the house is lovely and perfect for my small family. A short drive to get to Tucson amenities, or at the base of the mountain to go up Mount Lemmon. My kids appreciated the games and toys available. Thank you!

Spacious, comfortable and well stocked

We enjoyed our stay at this spacious, clean, comfortable and well stocked guesthouse. Bed was comfy as was all of the furniture. Those recliner loungers with footrests were much appreciated after a day of biking and a day of golf. Hosts were very easy to contact for biking info which was much appreciated. Very private and quiet space!

Very beautiful property

The pictures in the listing do not accurately depict the beauty of this place! The guest house is abundantly stocked with extras, including board games and a wide selection of books. It is a perfect retreat to relax and unwind. The location is unbeatable, just close enough to the city without the noise and bustle. Our stay was wonderful, and the hosts, Alex and David, were exceptionally friendly.
