10 STARS!!A mere 5 stars does not begin to portray the comfortable elegance of this home & warm welcome by the hostess. My husband & I soaked up the warmth in every way for a month that went far too fast. The location is conveniently close to great restaurants, golf courses, bike & hiking trails. If rental of this rare jewel with amazing views is available, my advice is to grab it.

This was our second season ‘snowbirding’ at Tamara's enchanting and charming abode! Her property embodies serenity and seclusion, yet its central location offers effortless access to all the essentials! Her home is impeccably furnished, spotlessly clean, and tastefully decorated with an array of textures and artwork that truly elevate the spirit. The breathtaking view of the Catalina mountains and abundant wildlife from the backyard is nothing short of spectacular! We had the delight of witnessing a diverse array of birds daily, accompanied by majestic bobcats, great horned owls, javelinas, mule deer, and the nightly serenade of coyotes was pure magic! Her home seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, featuring a stunning wrap-around covered veranda and an open patio surrounded by lush grass, where we'd bask in the morning sunshine and revel in the bird songs, and later seek shade under the veranda as the temperature soared to 90 degrees. With Catalina State Park merely ten minutes from her doorstep, we took advantage of daily hikes and bike rides. The Loop was easily accessible from her property, offering endless biking possibilities, but we opted for the La Canada trailhead, just ten minutes away, and savored smaller segments of The Loop. Our days were filled with birding, hiking, biking, exploring Tucson's parks, and unwinding at her home to marvel at the mountain sunsets. Her home and property are truly magical! Looking forward to next year!

This was our third time staying here and it never disappoints. Elegant, yet comfortable interiors with a world class wrap around patio that provides an incredible view of the mountains. We are already planning our return trip.

Tammy's rare jewel in Oro Valley is, by far, the best VRBO home rental we've ever stayed in. We're very familiar with Tucson, Arizona, having had family living here. Her home's location is perfect - near all amenities with easy access, yet private and quiet. The patio offers magnificent views of the Catalina mountains, plenty of birding, sunshine, and warmth, even in January. The covered veranda provides a nice respite from the heat, which we experienced during February's unseasonably warm temperatures. We enjoyed daily lunches out back, birding galore, (There were at least 15 different bird species right under our nose that we haven't seen since we live in Wisconsin), and I set up my cycleops outside so that I could do my daily PT in the sunshine! What a treat. Catalina State Park is literally out the door. We visited it daily with either hiking or biking. There are bike trails all over and so close, which we took advantage of. Sabino Canyon, Saguaro National Park East and West, Oracle State Park, Agua Caliente Park, Sweetwater Park for birding, and many local neighborhood parks with paved walking trails are all within an hour's drive and or closer. We took advantage of it all and enjoyed every minute of it. After a day's worth of adventures, we loved coming back to the peacefulness of her home to sit out back and watch the sunset over the mountains. That was truly magical. Her home is so comfortable, very well appointed, and beautiful. We booked for next year!
