This house is in a great location for hiking. Plus there are a ton of stores nearby. The backyard is fenced in with a pool, hot tub, grill, fire pit, and outdoor seating. It was our favorite place to hangout. The house was updated and nicely decorated. It felt like someplace I would live. The property manager went above and beyond to make sure we were accommodated. I would stay again and highly recommend.

The place was great! Very clean, decorated super cute, had all the essentials and more, great communication with the host. Our kids loved the pool and hottub. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay during our first visit to Arizona. Would highly recommend!

I needed a kitchen to finish a wedding cake for my daughters friend. This was a great house, close to everything and about 20 minutes from the venue (Saguaro Buttes) Swimming Pool was awesome, wish had more time to enjoy it. Hosts were very responsive to any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.

House was perfect for a small family. It was clean, open, and well furnished. Felt spacious for a small house. AC worked well. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Patio was clean and welcoming with plenty of seating areas. Location is very convenient to stores, food, gas. Highlight was the crystal clear, clean and refreshing pool (pool is only 5’ deep). Great views of the mountain and sunsets. Would definitely rent again.

We came to AZ to bird. This beautiful property was a perfect home base for us. Comfortable, private, and spacious for three adults. The amenities were fantastic and the entire space, indoor and out, was very clean. The open concept offered a bright and welcoming communal space, and the bedrooms were situated for privacy and quiet. The A/C was a dream after being in the AZ sun for hours. Evening swims in the pool were refreshing as well. The neighborhood was very quiet. The property management was responsive and made themselves available. Highly recommend.

I wouldn't hesitate to stay in this home again, located near the Sabino Canyon and Saguaro East. While it's further away from downtown, Tucson is easy to travel through and you can easily whisk yourself to the center of downtown if you are seeking meals or experiences there. It was the perfect launch point for an annual trip to the National Park that I take with some of my girlfriends -- it's made it easier to arrive for early hikes in the sweltering heat.
The decor of the house is a gem in the neighborhood with wax flowers and a Saguaro cactus outside. We happened to be there during bloom season. Lucky us!
Pros: (1) As mentioned, the closeness to the hiking side of the park; (2) The outdoors. We ate outdoors under the attached gazebo/veranda daily. We enjoyed views of the sunset and soaking our legs in the pool after long hikes. Although we never did use the grill, it is world class; (3) Thoughtfulness. There are a number of thoughtful items. For instance, the owners also have reserves of bug spray and sunscreen for people who are team carry on or don't need a full bottle (4) Lots of good kitchen items especially basic spices, though check the stocks before you grocery shop, bag of ice in the freezer; (5) Limited and reasonable house rules A++++; (6) Responsivity to questions; (7) Looks like the pictures

Such a cute house, very clean and the home has modern updates. The pool was so much fun for my 2 young daughters while my husband and I enjoyed the hot tub every night after they went to bed. Beds are amazingly comfortable, and just an overall amazing stay!

The house was perfect for us. Our daughter graduated from university of Arizona and it is approximately 20 minutes from campus. The house is spotless and the perfect place to relax around the pool. The kitchen had many extras that we did not have to go out and purchase. Jackie, has a very quick response and helped us find golf courses, and answered all questions, he was extremely helpful. You will not be disappointed in this house and all its amenities. We would definitely rent again.

My family and I loved this property. The outside area was nice and had many lizards and birds to watch. The inside was very nice and the A/C worked well. I wish there was an umbrella for the pool, as listed in the description. I had to buy my own. Otherwise, love it and will likely be back!

Rooms and beds were quite comfortable. House was cozy. The pool and hot tub were strong points for my teens. Hot tub chemical balance was off (not enough bromine or chlorine). A nice stay.

This rental is a gem. Absolutely loved it. A+ for cleanliness. Slight problem with tv (sr citizen lack of technology) was addressed immediately. Our stay was for 8 nights, so relaxing in back yard we only turned tv on once. Hot tub is fantastic overlooking mountains. Very comfortable spacious home. Jackie has a knack for decorating. So enjoyed the decor throughout the house. Only 6 mins from Saguaro East Broadway trail. Enjoyed a twilight hike 7 nights. So convenient. Highly recommend this place. Plan to return soon.

Myself, mom, brother and his wife and 2 kids rented this place over Thanksgiving to visit family. It was very clean and well decorated (my sister in-law and niece kept commentingon how cute it was!). It also had a nice view of the mountains. It was located in a central location for us to visit different relatives and the hot tub was a nice addition!
And this is more of an observation than a complaint but you can definitely hear everything that is going on in the house, as it's not that big, from any of the bedrooms so if your group has very different bed times or getting up times this may not be the place for you. Luckily my group all has pretty similar bed times and getting up times so it wasn't an issue!

Lovely property. Nourishing swimming pool. Stunning views of the mountains. All the comforts of home. We had every kitchen necessity. I’d stay again🌵

The property was well equipped with all the necessities. We choose this location because of its proximity to family, and found that it was very easy to get to tourist spots as well. The pool was large and deep enough for my older kids to enjoy. The evenings were cool enough for the hot tub. It has a spacious back yard and nice privacy. We throughly enjoyed ourselves, and will be staying here again!

This house was exactly as advertised. It was spacious, very clean and everything was in working order. It's a little bit of a trek from the center of town, but otherwise was exactly what we wanted. We'd definitely stay here again.

We stayed for a week and the place was as listed. It was clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor area is great. The neighborhood is safe but nothing fancy. Tucson does not have any major highways running east/west so it took a while to get anywhere. The master bed mattress was not the best but the other two bedrooms had better mattresses. The house is open and had very good utility.

My two sisters and I stayed for four nights. The house was clean, functional and was just right for the three of us. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed sitting by the pool. The views of the mountains were wonderful - really enjoyed the sunrise reflecting on the mountains. We didn't cook much but the kitchen was well appointed. We would stay again.

Family of four, kids aged 10 and 13 stayed in the house for a December vacation. House was great - nicely decorated with comfortable beds and fully stocked kitchen. Backyard had hot tub, pool, and fire pit and covered outdoor seating/table. Really enjoyed the outdoor space. Conveniently located to lots of things - close to East Saguaro NP, the Tucson loop biking trail, and lots of other great outdoor activities. Grocery stores, restaurants, and other shopping located nearby. Definitely recommend.

Have you ever stayed at a VRBO and thought "wow, this is great but...I wish they had a ..."
Well the host at Serene Mountain Retreat has it all down.
Very nice one level home. Everything is in excellent condition or new. The house is CLEAN which is my #1.
We booked with only a short time before Labor Day and wanted a home with a pool, which limited our options. This is a great find.
Clean bath towels, beach towels, and more. Baths have bar soap, liquid soap, shampoo and conditioner, blow dryers and more. Beds are comfortable with plenty of pillows. The kitchen is clean and well stocked. Coffee maker with coffee, dishwasher with pods, w/d w detergent. Seriously, everything you could want or need is provided. They have little things like bug spray, a nice knife set, and more.
Pool area is nice and private.
Large back yard is comfortable and covered patio is as well. We got a monsoon during our stay and stayed dry under the awning of the patio. Furniture inside and out is comfortable and well located. The house lives bigger than it is. There is a nice view of the mountains from the back.
My only minor suggestions is I prefer a Keurig over a drip coffee maker. Note that this is not a fancy neighborhood...middle class neighborhood. It is also pretty far east...plan to drive a little to get to mid-town.
It was perfect for us. Relaxing, comfortable, well stocked. Owner was communicative and responsive and we'd stay again for sure. Thank you

We needed a place to stay that allowed us to buy and store dorm items for my daughter’s first year at UofA. The home is about 20-25mins from campus which for this purpose was close enough. The neighborhood was very quiet and felt safe. The backyard was very inviting. We sat outside every morning drinking our coffee and looking at the mountains! We ate dinner outside a couple of times too. The sunsets from the home were awesome. The pool and hot tub were great! So relaxing. The home is very comfortable and was perfect for our family with 2 teenagers each having their own room and on the opposite side of the house as our bedroom. This was our home away from home as we embraced the next stage of our daughter’s life. We did not want to leave to go home to NJ, but there was also other factors in play there as well. 😀

Very nice, clean, private and comfortable. Super back yard area with seating, a great hot tub, beautiful pool, and spectacular mountain views. Our only recommendation is that the pool needs to be heated - even at the end of April, it was too cold to swim in.
