The inside of the house was very clean (apart from a couple of cockroach sightings). We appreciated the breakfast fixin's. The back yard was attractive and comfortable to hang out in night and day. Nice quiet neighborhood, very close to a riverside trail network that was nice for morning runs. Beds were comfortable.

Excellent value! There was plenty of space, towels, and beds for our group of 6. The breakfast food was such a nice touch as was the hot tub. The kids loved feeding the koi in the mornings. This house is a great choice for a larger group.

This property is a great place for large groups! We completely enjoyed all of the amenities: the hot tub, fire pit and the koi pond. Zak was very responsive with any questions we had and it nice getting to meet Brad. All of the art work gives the house a great vibe. All of the breakfast foods made mornings easy and the coffee was good too! I definitely recommend this house for a relaxing stay. The neighborhood is quiet and it is close to shopping and groceries as needed.

4 Long Time Golfing Buddies

Home is relatively convenient to restaurants/shops. Neighborhood working class. We simply needed a place to basically sleep, shower, and hang. Very nice to arrive and find basic breakfast, fruit, and Wine!!! Backyard is nice with water feature and hot tub. Tried to get the hot tub to at least 103, but can’t adjust from 101. 2 degrees would move the needle. House is kinda funky with all of the art ; Felt like a starving artist show. It served its purpose for a no frills golf trip and 4 seperate bedrooms are hard to find. Solid hoats

We needed a place to gather and put together a memorial for a family member. There was ample space to lay our items out out comfortably and talk. At night, we could use the cool water hot tub and roast marshmallows. There was plenty of beds and bedding and places to sit. talk.

Wonderful.

Lots of beds and lounge places. Beds were very comfortable and I’m picky about beds. We loved the outdoor space and hot tub. Having breakfast items available was a huge help and a wonderful plus. Hosts were super great. Lovely note and bottle of wine when we arrived. Already recommended this place to my niece for the next time she has people visit Tucson.
