Tucson Foothills Pool Home - Midcentury Modern Retreat
About this house rental
The home was designed by architect Arthur T Brown. This is an authentically furnished and detailed to reflect the early 1960’s Midcentury style. ***Featured in the Fall 2019 edition of Atomic Ranch magazine*** There are floor to ceiling windows with breathtaking views of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The kitchen has all modern amenities and is completely equipped. The sunsets and the twinkling lights of downtown Tucson are a highlight of the day. There is a large heated private pool and extensive outdoor spaces with brand new premium furnishings and umbrellas. The neighborhood is naturally landscaped which is wonderful for a morning hike. There are two National parks within 15 minutes from the property. Sabino Canyon and Saguaro National Forest are not to be missed. Tucson has an extensive paved bike trail that loops around the city and is a great way to see Tucson. Shopping and restaurants are close by and offer a wide variety of options. This is the perfect retreat for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty and recreational opportunities in the Tucson area. Enjoy cocktails or coffee from multiple outdoor furnished areas.

We had a fabulous stay at this amazing property! The hosts were wonderful and surprised us with flowers and bubbly to help us celebrate our anniversary! The property manager welcomed us and was quick to help with any questions we had. Loved the outdoor vibe and atmosphere, which was our favorite part of the property. The location was great and close to great hiking spots. Overall such a great property that I'd highly recommend.

We loved our stay at the ATB House in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson. Beautiful location with amazing views! You can watch the sunset every day from the living room. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. We would choose this house again.

Absolutely loved this home! Love the well preserved architecture and furnishings. Very clean with tons of outdoor space. The only minor negative would be the noise from traffic right behind the house. Mostly at busy times of the day. Overall, I would recommend this house and stay again!

Loved this property! Hosts were extremely accommodating and professional. The property itself is amazing, we had a very small wedding in the front yard. Bonus is that the entire living room is a wall of windows, so if there happens to be rain (unlikely in Tucson!) you can still enjoy beautiful views. The sunset fills the entire living room with pink light!
You might assume that the mid century furniture is uncomfortable, but this house is really, really, comfortable. The king bed in the primary bedroom is one of the most comfortable I've stayed in. The entire house is clearly designed for living, and nothing is "rental quality."
One of my favorite features of this house is that there are so many areas both indoors and out to enjoy yourself. Every area is it's own slice of heaven. I'd love to come back in the future, maybe for our anniversary!

This was a beautiful home with everything that we needed. We have stayed at several VRBOs in the UA Tucson area and this one is by far our favorite. The kitchen was very very well stocked as was the rest of the house. The house manager was very responsive to all of my questions. They even had fresh cut flowers in the home! Thanks for sharing your home with us.

The ATB home was an architectural masterpiece, yes, but also a perfectly appointed, comfortable, relaxing base camp for a friend's trip to the AZ desert. Couldn't recommend this home more! Best locale in Tucson.

We LOVED staying here! I live in Phoenix, but I had family in town from the East Coast and we stayed here while we explored Southern Arizona. The house is truly one-of-a-kind and immaculately well-kept. We loved reading about its history, using the pool, and the hi-fi was extra fun! Great hospitality touches from the beginning through to the end, including fresh flowers and ensuring the bike tires were fully inflated. Very well appointed kitchen. We would absolutely stay here again!

Stunning 1960’s Mid-century Home in Foot Hills Tuscon. You are transformed the minute you walk into the home. The house is a time capsule in its peak of quality and usability. The owners are a pleasure and have thought of everything. Its got it all. We had a hard-time leaving and going on hikes, its such a tranquil setting. We will be back. Thanks for taking such great care of this treasure.

This house is a destination on it's own!
We were having our last supper around a fabulous Mid Century Modern dining table and discussing what made this holiday so special for us. We haven't had a dinner away from the house because we all agreed that this house is a destination in and of itself. Although our week in Tucson was packed with activities exploring the city the house was our touchstone and we each discovered special places inside and outside that were our own. The house is spectacular and it's clear that good design is timeless. The time and effort put into restoring and maintaining this magnificent home was not lost on this group. We swam daily in the pool and enjoyed preparing meals in the kitchen which had everything we needed and then some. On arrival the house was impeccably clean and tidy. The beds were super comfortable and the living room extraordinary with windows on all sides but still felt private. People have mentioned that you can hear the traffic but for us this was a very minor inconvenience and really existed as "white" noise that disappeared. I would recommend this house as an exceptional stay with fantastic hosts who were very responsive to any questions we had. Wonderul!

This is an exceptional house. It is well located in the Catalina Hills area and is beautifully landscaped so that time outdoors is well spent. The house itself is a wonderful mid-century modern, passive solar house that is well laid out and is furnished with pieces from the period. Other reviewers have noted the road noise. We did not find it intrusive and in the bedrooms there is no noise at all. The property manager Bill is a treasure and he fixed a small problem almost immediately. We loved our stay and recommend this house without reservation.

This property was clean and very fun! 3 couples, all retired enjoyed the beauty & fun of Tucson without the hassle of a hotel. We stayed in very comfortable beds, enjoyed walking the neighborhoods for exercise and enjoyed our preferred dietary meals cooked up just the way we like them as we shared cooking in a kitchen complete with everything we needed and more. We toured Tuscon and relaxed at the house. We put a puzzle together, played table games and enjoyed the sunrise through the living room windows. We were hoping to enjoy the pool but the weather did not cooperate. Such a beautiful place to stay.

We used this home as a gathering place for our family get together. We had great communication with our host. And the property manager was very responsive when we had questions. We appreciated the privacy of the home and the comfortable and open space for enjoying family conversation. The outdoor space was great for enjoying morning coffee and evening sunsets. The heated pool was a pleasant diversion and very usable in spite of overnight temps in the 40s. Kitchen included many spices and seasonings for our family ‘chef’ allowing us to enjoy great meals at home. Other reviews have been critical of the street noise. The street noise is evident but did not interfere with our enjoyment of the outdoor space and pool, although it is noisy enough to make the space somewhat less than peaceful. The location provided us with good access to the entire Tucson area.

I wish I could say we hated this place just to make sure we can get it reserved in our next trip. That would be a lie. This place is amazing. We came to Tucson to visit my wife’s family. It was the most amazing house we could’ve asked for. The decor and architecture was second to none. If you are a fan of mid century work , this is your place.The hosts were awesome and communication was great. House was clean and incredible.We will always attempt to stay here if available.

Regarding our stay at the AB House, the mid-century home was great. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Thank you for the Christmas tree in the living room. It was lit up as we entered the home. The swimming pool area and the gardens were beautiful, but our walks along the gardens and our ability to enjoy the sunset on the patio were drowned out by the traffic noise coming off Swan Avenue, which was unfortunate. Let us know about the timing for the damage deposit refund. Thank you.

Mid-Century Dream
This mid-century architectural gem was everything and more than advertised. The pool was fabulous, the house was stellar, and the location was great. The pool area was private with no overlooking neighbors. The beds were very comfy. Wi-Fi was good. Totally relaxing. A bit of road noise while outside, but perfectly quiet in the bedroom wing. We would stay here again without hesitation.
