I am actually from this very region of Tucson and was in town for a family event, so wanted a place near my family. I have rented many vacation rentals, and this house is easily in my top 3! The home is located in a quiet, lovely neighborhood in NE Tucson, on a large lot with Palo Verde and Mesquite trees, and I was happily entertained daily by ground squirrels and lizards, and gentle birdsong every morning. Renee seems to have anticipated every need for travelers and stocked the home with all of the necessities as well as many creature comforts, like throw blankets in the living room. From the moment I walked throught the door I was extremely pleased and instantly comfortable. Everything truly looks just as it does in the photos, and the home was very clean and well organized. Renee is a thoughtful and exceptional host, and I will happily return to this property in the future.

Everything was perfect about our stay. The location was perfect for us, house was clean and comfortable. The flowers, pastries and fresh fruit on arrival was a wonderful surprise! Having toys, books and movies for my granddaughter was also a plus! We have stayed in many rentals and this is definitely the best stocked one. There was every kitchen item you would need to prepare food for the family. I would recommend anyone needing a place to stay in Tucson to stay here!

I've stayed in a lot of VRBO's over the years and this property is amongst the best of them.
The house is located in a quite neighborhood in Tucson, close to grocery stores, Mount Lemmon for cycling, and Udall park which is a pickleball mecca.
We loved the owls hooting in the morning and one actually stopped by for a look see, as we sat on the patio enjoying morning coffee.
The inside of the house is immaculate, very well appointed with 3 comfortable beds and lots of places to sit in the living room. The large spacious open area includes the kitchen island and dining room table. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need for your stay. Lots of good quality dishes and glassware. The mudroom includes lots of extra soap, shampoo, tp, Kleenex and laundry detergent. The bathrooms were clean and bright and both had very nice raindrop showers.
No complaints at all with this property.
The pictures on the website are very accurate as to the condition of the house.

Everything about the property was as pictured. Sparkling clean, updated decor, comfortable beds and plenty of comfortable seating. The quiet neighborhood is great for walking the dog and has beautiful mountain views, which you can also appreciate from the back yard. Wood was provided for the outdoor firepit and we took advantage of it one cool evening. Reasonably close to everything but not in the middle of it all. We have already booked for next year!

The property itself was perfect... a home away from home. The yard was great for the dogs, hiking is nearby, and we felt safe in the neighborhood. Renee is a wonderful host. Even the neighbor was friendly :)

The house is a gem - very nicely fitted and extremely functional. The yard is huge and our dog loved it! The location was great - we cycle a lot, so Mt. Lemmon and Saguaro Park were right there.
We can’t wait to come back!

The house was spotless, it had great amenities, and everything was simple and easy. Hostess left us snacks and flowers, and there were detailed instructions for every appliance. I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless and comfortable space for our family reunion.

I can't imaging a more gracious and caring host then Renee was for our family members visiting us.
The home was impeccable and she added so many personal touches to greet our family warmly...even some classic toys for out year and a half old to enjoy.
We can't wait to return to her lovely home.
Thank you!!!

We needed a place for 5 adult women to spend a few days in Tucson for a family member surprise birthday party. This home was great for us with 2 baths and 3 bedrooms. They had everything we needed. Normally when renting I’ve had to buy coffee, creamer, extra paper products, laundry detergent, etc. This home had it all! We really appreciate that so much! Had a great time and would rent this home again! Thanks Renee!

Stayed for several days on a visit to see my parents. Took our older dog and our laptops so we could work remotely. House was great and the surrounding mountains gave us the perfect opportunity to get in some great hikes between visits. Our pup loved having a big yard to explore too! Will definitely stay again!
