This property was perfect for our family of 7. It was well stocked with (cold!) beverages, snacks, coffee, pots and pans, and plenty of linens. There was plenty of space and the owner was very responsive. We would gladly stay here again.

Homecoming week in Tucson

We travel quite a bit with our two dogs-this is the nicest, most well equipped home, with a great kitchen, enclosed yard for the pets, quiet neighborhood-you’d never know you were just a block off Speedway! Beds were very comfy, spacious bathrooms, a great space to gather with our friends for U of A homecoming and 50th class reunion. Rachel was always available to us and very helpful - this will be our favorite place to stay when visiting Tucson. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for making our daughters graduation much more memorable with a beautiful place to stay.

Great house!

Our family road-tripped from Montana to Arizona to hike the Grand Canyon and mountain bike in Tucson. Rachel’s place was clean and comfortable! Fun dessert decor and lots of extra touches like popcorn and snacks! Loved the little courtyard with places to soak up the sun in the morning. Would definitely stay hear again!

Wonderful home! Exactly what we needed for our family with 2 dogs. Yard was completely fenced for animals to be safe, appreciated the snacks and water after driving all day. Beds and furniture so comfortable. Pleasant neighborhood. Walked to Psycho Grillers for great sandwiches and Bread and Beyond for breakfast. Rachel responded to questions immediately! Great house, wonderful host! Can’t wait to stay again.

My family of 4 plus our pup had plenty of room at this quiet, clean, and convenient location. My boys loved all of the snacks and drinks! Literally everything we could possibly need was supplied - multiple coffee makers, small appliances, comfy couch and beds, plenty of bathrooms. Thanks for a great stay!

This house was absolutely perfect; the host was so hospitable! She had the fridge stocked with water and soda and had plenty of snacks and coffee available. It's so hard to find dog friendly properties that are also beautiful, clean, and well maintained but look no further, this place has it all. Best VRBO stay we've ever had (and we travel a lot)!

Great Choice!

Everything about this property was as advertised. The area was perfect, central and close to everything needed. The host was awesome and very responsive to questions and we were so pleased. The area of the unit was not on a through street, tucked into a quiet area that worked great. Rooms were large enough to feel like there was space and not a cramped living area or bedrooms. Bathrooms were all seperate, new and clean. We will stay here again! Thank you!

Tucson Cycling Trip

Rachel was very communicative from the start and went above and beyond to make some major accessibility accommodations for myself and my teammates. The house and property was accurately described and was very clean upon arrival. Close the bike trails and all amenities. A great place to stay and I hope to be back sooner rather than later!

Comfortable Stay, Convenient Location

This location was a perfect spot for our stay in Tucson. There was easy access into the rental, lights on when we arrived, and the owner was nearby in case we needed anything. The home was spacious and comfortable and well appointed. TVs in the master bedrooms and living room. There was a thoughtful coffee station to satisfy anyone's desire for that "perfect cup" of morning brew. The carport was appreciated since it did rain one of the mornings we were there. The fenced exterior was private with outdoor seating and a grill. A cozy retreat for two couples traveling or for a family to relax and enjoy. Can't say enough about this great property.

Great place for a small group

Rachels place is fabulous and in a nice secluded area separate from the rest of the neighborhood which gives it a feel of exclusivity as well as privacy. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms the house is well equipped. and the kitchen has plenty of amenities to create great meals. If you are a coffee lover you will assuredly be able to make coffee the way you like as there were 4 different apparatus and methods for making coffee during our stay. The our door areas are enclosed and allow you to walk around the whole exterior of the house while being inside of the gated property line. You can really feel the Southwest with the flora and fauna that is in the yard; Agaves, palms and cactus make the landscaping a great add on and from the looks of it the landscaping is being thought out for further development so it will be even better by the time you see it probably.
