The location was incredible, we were walking distance from the national park trailhead, soft brown dirt roads. The home is surrounded by a desert garden full of birds and wildlife. We actually SAW A HUGE JAVALINA walking back from the national park one evening at dusk (it grunted, and ran off into the underbrush). The host was amazing, such an interesting person, he used to own a famous restauraunt, and he made my wife and me the BEST BREAKFAST WE HAVE EVER HAD IN OUR LIFE, home made natural Arizona fruit cups with homemade cream, corn bread pancakes he invented, chorizo sausage he made. This was incredible, our first trip to Tucson, we fell in love.

Unforgettable experience.
Luxurious. Quiet, peaceful, dreamy. The owner could easily charge $300 a night for this place. Everything from the desert landscape, the super comfy bed, the jetted tub, the graciousness of our host and the amazing breakfast was a five star experience. One of the best lodging experiences we have ever had... and we travel a lot. We saw a coyote and a pack of javelinas while out walking at sunset. Saguaro national park trails are within walking distance of this B&B. What a treat.

Nice Hotel, Great Breakfast
We loved this Bed and Breakfast. Great location, close to the National Forest. The room next to the pool was lovely. The bed was a little too soft but the three course breakfast was great.

We usually don’t stay at B& B’s, however, it looked so inviting. Our host, John, was very hospitable. I think the breakfast was the best I have ever had. The room was spacious. The bed was more than comfortable—it was heavenly. Even the Italian sheets were ironed!!!!

Suncatcher's cactus garden embraces nature
The location was perfect for us... The trailhead for the Saguaro East national park was a 5 minute walk, and the beauty of the desert foliage was phenomenal. We really enjoyed seeing this whole area. The Suncatcher's gated compound was amazing and full of art. Although our host, Janos, has scaled back this operation somewhat, the hospitality for the two rooms they rent is beyond compare; these are fascinating people with a facinating property. The bathrooms are huge. The gourmet breakfast will be the best and most interesting you've experienced, guaranteed. This isn't about gooey pastry, it is about good food with lots of great ingredients. Downside? There are limited restaurants in this area, you'll have to drive a bit to get dinner. No fridge or coffee pot in the room, just be prepared. Coffee service starts at 7:30 am, we went bird watching before breakfast. Would we stay here again? Heck yes!

Elegant, luxurious, and blissfully peaceful
A hidden gem at the edge of Saguaro National Park, off the beaten path. Our room was beautifully appointed with very comfortable bed and large private bath. The central living room/breakfast room has roof to floor windows with spectacular views of the mountains and lovely grounds. Janos is a marvelous host and accomplished chef. Breakfasts were amazing! We will definitely return.

Wow!! A real dessert gem!!
We had such a lovely time, I almost felt guilty coming home after a visit with my son, a student at U of A. My husband and I, recent retirees, came out to Tucson from San Diego to visit our little biochemistry major. As he had classes most of the day, I chose this bed-and-breakfast for its proximity to Saguro National Park. The bed-and-breakfast couldn't have been more lovely with breathtaking views and incredibly comfortable surroundings. Then inn keeper, Jonas, was friendly and attentive. He made the most fabulous breakfast, spoiling me and accommodating my husband's diabetes. The stay was so enjoyable, I almost forgot we were there to spend time with our son. If you go, be ready to enjoy a big breakfast and to schedule time for a hike in the incredible national Park just a 5 minute drive.

Great Tucson experience
This was so awesome!!!! The owner John greeted us and was so welcoming. The experience was personal and warm. Great décor. This beautiful place is about 3 miles out of town- far enough to have great stargazing and a desert experience but close enough to be convenient. The breakfast was INCREDIBLE! Best place we have stayed in a very long time. STAY HERE if you can!

Lovely B&B on the edge of Tucson
Suncatctcher B & B is set out in the country surrounded by a desert plant filled garden. Janos, our host, was delightful. Extremely welcoming and interesting to talk to. The house is filled with interesting artefacts with a huge living are for both eating and relaxing. The bedroom was very comfortable. The garden was excellent for birders.

The Best Place To Stay In Tucson
It was exactly the experience one would want when staying in Tucson. The Inn was off a dirt road with the full property fenced in for safety from the wildlife. The lights were always on in the evening and that includes inside and around trees, walkways, etc on the outside. It felt safe and cozy. The gate was operated to open by pushing a button to drive in and out.

Absolutely Marvelous Inn
This Inn is one of the best places I have ever stayed. I can't recommend it more highly from the charming rooms, serene location and wonderful staff and owners. Everything is perfectly crafted for a warm and romantic stay. The breakfast is to die for, organic, inspired and wonderfully prepared. This place is better than any 5 star hotel.

Private, Peaceful, Charming Bed n Breakfast
We liked everything about the Suncatcher Yanos is a fabulous host and a gourmet cook. The breakfasts he served we simply delicious and huge. Our room was large so very comfortable. The entire house is decorated with great taste. Lots of interesting books, paintings,and furniture. Very near to the Saguaro National Park, the east entrance. Wonderful views to the mountains. We hiked everyday also went to Karchner Caverns and don't miss the Sabino Canyon for the tram ride up the mountain and great hiking trails. After a full day of hiking and exploring it was heaven to return to the Suncatcher.

The stay of a lifetime
This brief but wonderful stay exceeded all expectations. I booked two rooms for my family as a special thanks to my parents and brother. I was hopeful, based on the reviews, that this would be a special place. Indeed, it was. My parents (who have traveled the world and stayed in many great places) remarked that this was the best place they had ever stayed. They were impressed with room, the location, the attentiveness of the owner and his staff, and the breakfast. I concur and highly recommend The SunCatcher Fine Country Inn.

Get treated like a celebrity in Tucson!
A 5 star B&B experience. Janos, former manager of Cafe des Artistes in Manhattan, and his wife have created an amazing retreat/getaway on the edge of Saguaro National Park. Enjoy the amazing views of the desert from the comfort of the dining/sitting room. Take a dip in the hot tub and pool. But certainly make sure you're up in time to enjoy Janos' famous breakfast.

Bed and Breakfast Converts
Not a big fan of bread and breakfast stays, AT ALL, never had a good experience. This stay was fabulous my wife and I loved SunCatcher. Janos was a prince, for example our GPS died and he insisted we use his for the weekend. Super Host! Gorgeous sourondings. The beds are the most comfortable I have ever slept in. And his breakfasts are to die for. We have been converted Great Stay and "We Will Be Back" Thanks a million, Janus.

B&B Gem in the Desert with an Amazing Breakfast
A very quiet and secluded 4 room B&B with wonderfully landscaped grounds perfect for a reading escape, impressive Living and Dining Room will large windows filled with views of the Santa Catalina Mountains which is the perfect setting for great conversations with other guests as you enjoy your host's gourmet multi course breakfast with a different menu everyday. Janos is a wonderful and gracious host who makes your stay memorable. Our stay was over Valentine's Day and Janos gave beautiful red roses to the ladies before his outstanding breakfast. Our comfortable room was large, bright and very well appointed. The location is secluded but easy to drive to. Take the major Broadway Avenue from Downtown Tucson east until it ends next to the Saguaro National Park. The courtyard has a heated pool just 10 feet from our door, a heated whirlpool and numerous tables and lounges. Yet with so few guests, they are not often used and very quiet. Each room has its own private entrance and you park just feet from your door. We will stay here again on our next visit to Tucson and will recommend this B&B to all our friends visiting Tucson.

Absolutely fantastic
I don't think I can say enough good things about staying at this venue. I can unabashedly say this was the best experience I have ever had staying at any kind of venue, anywhere. The accommodations were gorgeous and comfortable. I felt at home as soon as I walked through the door and was immediately greeted by the staff. The breakfast was so good we are still talking about it days later. All that being said, the staff was still the best part. We ended up arriving much much later than we originally planned and they were gracious and accommodating. I will absolutely be coming back and, infact, we were already scheming how we could get back before we had even left.

The Suncatcher is so warm and welcoming. I felt like I was coming home every evening after a long day. My room was comfortable and spacious, much larger than most hotel rooms. The bath was well appointed. Every morning I was treated to a gourmet worthy breakfast. The staff went out of their way to make my stay special. I will definitely stay at the Suncatcher again and recommend that all of my friends do the same.

My wife and I had a too-short two night stay. We were in the Dreamcatcher. Just an amazing room.

A perfectly quiet and relaxing place
The Sun Catcher is a peaceful and lovely place with Saguaro Park just steps away. Janos was the perfect host,offering healthy breakfast with a real chef flair. The Inn has a pool and a hot tub, with beautiful desert garden all around. Coyote howl at night, a real treat. We enjoyed our visit to the Medicine Man Gallery in Tucson, to buy Navajo art. Besides walking the trails of Saguaro Park, a late afternoon drive to the top of Mount Lemmon is very rewarding when you can watch the sunset fill the sky behind the rocks.

Super B&B - secluded and quiet!
This B&B is as nice as the ones in England, but with much better breakfast! My husband and I were the last visitors before the summer closing, so we had the place to ourselves. It's an older home that's been creatively remodeled, surrounded by our gorgeous Arizona desert. Our host was friendly, informative, enthusiastic and an excellent chef! It's in a quiet, out of the way location. We sat outside our room for quite awhile just watching the sunset. And animal life!

A Peaceful Desert Oasis
We loved our stay at The SunCatcher! We were warmly greeted by innkeeper/host/chef Janos who gave us an overview of the home and grounds before leaving us to relax and explore on our own. We were very comfortable in our room, getting a long and peaceful night's sleep. In the morning we were spoiled with an outstanding (and huge!) gourmet breakfast...fresh fruit with Greek yogurt and homemade granola, eggs with fresh veggies, feta cheese and pine nuts, ham and carmelized sweet potatoes, and French toast with fresh whipped cream and berries. No need for lunch! Janos, a veteran in the hospitality business, is a terrific host and provided a lovely and memorable experience for us. My husband and I would definitely stay here again!

A gem near the desert. Janus is masterful charming
I have never rated a facility before but my experience prompted me to do so. This is a great little place near one of the nicest desert areas on the eastern fringe of Tucson where you can wonder over the desert to your hearts content and come back to a place that is beautifully furnished, up to date and run by a charming man with a culinary background who will prepare breakfast for you as you probably never had, absolutely scrumptious, fresh and abundant.
