About this house rental
House calendar is updated real-time and nightly rates are correct. Simply enter your desired dates and click "Book Now." Traditional Adobe Hacienda style, Mid-Century home (4 Bedroom/3 Bath) near the Catalina mountains in a quiet, established neighborhood near Casa Adobes with a beautiful, serene retreat setting. The 1.5 acre property includes a newly constructed entry with stucco walls, brick-line granite-pebble driveway, new landscaping and lighting and a custom wooden front door. Beautiful, enclosed backyard with trees, planters, private heated pool, large outdoor gas fireplace and seating area, dining area under a pergola with outdoor gas grill and bar, bubbling fountain, chaise lounges with umbrellas, shade from large eucalyptus and olive trees, Catalina sunset views, stucco walls and new landscaping throughout. This updated house includes two large living areas - both with wood burning fireplaces, comfortable seating and flat screen TVs. The living room includes comfortable seating, TV, wood burning fireplace, large wooden desk/workstation, and large sliding glass doors that open to the backyard and pool area. The newly updated family room has a Kiva-style fireplace, wooden beam and board ceiling, with large flat screen TV, and large windows that open to a private, walled courtyard with views of the Catalinas at sunrise and sunset. The kitchen/dining area includes a large wooden dining table that extends to seat 8-10, and an adjacent kitchen with updated appliances and amenities. The dining area also has large sliding glass doors that open to the outdoor patio, with a large outdoor table (seats 6-8) topped by a pergola with string lighting at night. Two larger, more private bedrooms are located at the rear of the house separated from the living areas. The first one is a medium sized guest bedroom with queen bed and adjoining full bathroom with updated shower and granite covered sink. The second bedroom is a large owners suite with a king bed, huge closet, flat screen TV which opens into a brand new private, spa bathroom with double shower, double soaking tub and (yes) double sink - all topped by marble with white subway tile on the walls and mosaic tile on the floor. This new spa bathroom (as of 5/30/25) will open into an outdoor spa area that is separate from, but adjoins the pool and will include an outdoor shower and seating area. There will be a hot tub in this spa area - that will be locked as it cannot be used by guests due to insurance restrictions (our apologies). The remaining two bedrooms that are more centrally located include one bedroom with full bed and one with two twin beds - with a separate full bathroom (tub/shower combo) between the two bedrooms. Other amenities include: laundry room with new purchased washer and dryer, high speed internet (via google mesh), Wi-Fi, basic Xfinity cable boxes and access to log into your favorite apps (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon) on all three TVs, Google Speakers to play your music, and covered off street parking (carport holds 2-3 cars). Pool heater for additional charge. While situated on a quiet street, the home offers easy access to hiking, shopping, golfing, entertainment and excellent dining...that is....if you ever leave the back yard :-). Things to Know: - No pets (even though we love ours) - No smoking on the premises (unless you are making warm fires in the fireplace) - No large parties and events (but family and friend dinners and gathering are fine) - No overnight commercial vehicle parking (unless you planning to do work on the property for us) - Lots of pool towels are in the laundry room along with laundry detergent (but leave the house supplies in the back of the laundry room undisturbed). - Hall coat closet has hiking pools and a humidifier if desired. - Dining/Kitchen Pantry has some food supplies in it that you are welcome to (but the top shelves look like an Irish tinkers wagon) - Games and puzzles can be found in the left side of the bureau in the family room (with the kiva fireplace). There is also a puzzle table in the shed if you want to use it. - No glassware near the pool (use the plastic wine and drink tumblers for your bevies) - Good neighbor policy - quiet hours are between 11pm and 8am. - Four outdoor your rental - you can tell as the green light on the camera will be off. - While the pool has safety equipment, the pool can be accessed directly from the back doors of the house - so kid safety should be considered before renting this property. - Carport has motion sensor lights to allow easier access to side door in the evening. - Coded entry via lock on side-door of house. You will find traditional metal keys for the front door, spa bath back door and shed door inside the house. - Pool floats, extra umbrellas, a shower chair and puzzle or cart table can be found in the shed...along with a light switch that turns on and off the pool light. Please turn this off during the day. - A family of large owls will sometimes visit you in the evening hooting from the trees - possibly considering if your steak on the grill is worth the risk (kidding) Enjoy!

We had a great time in Tucson. The property is beautifully landscaped and the pool was perfect!
The house was roomy and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Matt and Lisa (owners) and Jack (manager) are simply amazing. They all made us feel very welcomed and provided lots of advice on things to do in the Tuscon area. They were very communicative and were able to address any questions we had. The property is beautiful. It has such a huge and beautifully landscaped garden that is terrific for spending time outside including in front of the fireplace, around the pool or at the outside dining table. The outdoor stove was a dream to use. Inside the house was immaculate, lots of space for hanging out and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, pots & pans and essentials. The welcome package was wonderful and a nice touch. The location is great for getting into the city, restaurants, grocery stores and outdoor hikes/national park, etc. The neighborhood is quiet and morning or evening walks are very pleasant with friendly folks in the street. We had an amazing time there and it comes with our highest recommendations. We have stayed at many VRBOs and this ranks at the selected top. We hope to return one day.

We have rented this property 2 years in a row and are planning on renting again next year. It is located in a very safe and quiet neighborhood and the house is both beautiful and comfortable. It has lovely, peaceful landscaping and its own pool which is pretty much heaven on Earth. We have found the property's location to be convenient for lots of golfing and for getting to downtown Tucson.

The property was spectacular, back yard oasis and home were perfectly appointed. The pool was sparkling and warm. We swam, laid in the sun and relaxed by the outdoor fireplace. Matt & Lisa were amazing hosts, very wonderful people and property manager Jack made sure we had everything we needed and was super attentive. Wonderful vacation, we already planned our next trip back! Perfect vacation home with everything we could have wanted. Memories were made! Can’t wait to go back!

An outstanding three-week retreat for the two of us plus family/friends who visited for a few overnights . The Desert Treehouse offers comfortable, homey and spacious accommodations, a stunning private backyard and great location for hiking, shopping & restaurants. Our experience was further elevated by the accessible, responsive and gracious property manager Jack and owner Matt -- the best customer service we've ever been treated to at a vacational rental; thank you Jack & Matt!
Although during our stay the weather ranged from cool (blustery wind, rain and snow!) to warm, we greatly enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces, including the heated pool and outdoor fireplace. We loved The Desert Treehouse so much we've already booked our return!

Very roomy and good location to restaurants. This is the best equipped VRBO we have used with coffee, welcome gift and plenty of items in the pantry and refrigerator to use. The owners were very responsive to questions and minor issues.
Definitely recommend this house.

Perfect relaxing space for our respite from a busy family wedding week! Gorgeous backyard. Several lounging areas, in the home and on patios, gave us all (6) plenty of comfortable places to hang out together or alone. We loved the character of this old Adobe ranch house!

Very central location. Property was perfect for two families given how the bedrooms are grouped together. Loved the sitting rooms and the yard. Had an issue while we were there, but the owner/property manager addressed it right away. They were very responsive.

The Tree House was a great home base for our stay. We were there to move our daughter back to U of A. We loved the "retro" feel of the house with modern accents and conveniences. I must say our favorite part of the house was the backyard! The setting was beautiful and calming. Being August, the temperatures were exceptionally hot, but I was able to work outside under the pergola for a couple of hours in the morning. I would run the fountain during that time - it was so peaceful and I was very productive with my work! I'd reward myself with a dip in the pool afterward. The hosts welcomed me with a phone call a few days prior to our visit and the Property Manager Jack checked in during our stay to make sure we were comfortable. Thank you to Lisa and Matt for sharing their home and to Jack for his attentiveness. It's a hidden treasure in the foothills and worth the 20 min drive down to campus every day.

Our family arrived from multiple states to this home, and it did not disappoint in any way. It is set up for everyone to have their own space - but then larger areas for all of us to gather. The outdoor area is just beautiful. Between the early morning fire, the daily swim, to dinner on the grill - it was all so serene, private and very comfortable.

Our stay at the TreeHouse was incredible- quiet, relaxing, scenic and an amazing property. The house and backyard had everything we were hoping for - private setting, shade/sun, pool, fireplace. We were able to enjoy coffee in the early morning, swim in the heat of the day, and relax at night next to the fire. The location was a great place to see Tucson and venture out to other places in the area, close to Saguaro National Park and other activities. The property manager was very responsive and had easy instructions. We really enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay there again.

I brought my son and his family to visit Tucson for their first time and everyone had a great time! The home is so comfortable but the backyard is an incredible oasis!! Several hiking areas nearby and a visit and lunch at Tohono Chul park is a must! We saw a rattlesnake and coyotes on our hikes. Thank goodness they weren’t too close but fun to see!
This property is incredible but what is outstanding is the customer service! They thought of everything to make our week the best and Jack the property manager checked in to see if we needed anything!!
We will definitely be back!

We have stayed in a lot of VRBO properties across the US, but this one is a real standout! A lovely one floor house thoughtfully decorated and appointed. The grounds are amazing with mountain views and beautiful desert landscaping. A beautiful pool and it was worth the expense to heat the pool! Every morning I was able to take a run in the neighborhood and follow it with a swim - in February- a treat for this New Yorker! Owners/manager very accessible. Close to so many sites and very very relaxing. It was hard to leave. This is my dream house!

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful getaway at the Oracle Heights Estates. The outside patio, pool and garden were divine. It was very quiet and in a beautiful neighborhood, outside of the downtown. Both Jack, the property manager and Matt & Lisa, the owners, were very available and accommodating. The house had everything you need, and was quite cozy while being very spacious. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. I highly recommend this beautiful house for your next Tucson getaway. I know I will be back

This property was as beautiful inside and out as the listing. Wonderful, relaxing sitting spaces inside and outside the house. The dining room had a large dining room table to break bread together, and a functional kitchen with any appliance needed, as well as cookware and other kitchen gadgets.

Thanksgiving in the Catalina Foothills
We absolutely loved this home. If you can pull off Thanksgiving dinner with all the requisite pots, pans and dishes, you know the kitchen is well-appointed! This homes was wonderful. Comfortable beds , two living spaces and, of course, the outside paradise! The back yard was magnificent! The pool, lounge chairs, fireplace seating and dining areas. It was like having two homes. We couldn’t give this place a higher rating- a 10 out of 10! It was perfect! Thanks Matt and Lisa for making our stay so wonderful!

Spent a week in Tucson at a home with a garden oasis out back. The patio, outdoor fireplace and pool are surrounded by spectacular landscaping This mid-century modern is updated, clean and well appointed with up to date electronics for music (wi-fi speakers throughout) and video entertainment (if you feel the need to be inside. And why would you with the patio and heated pool out back?). Just 15-20 minutes to downtown with great restaurants nearby (don't miss El Charro Cafe). The owner and manager went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. We highly recommend this home for a stay in Tucson! We will be back.
