Top Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Hotel Reviews

Unique Home / Peaceful Property / Yoga / 3 BR 1 BA

8/10 Good

"Overall was a nice play to stay. A nice house with a very unique layout. Communication with hosts was easy and responses were prompt. Location was very nice and close to where we wanted to go in Tucson. My only real complaint is that we we were told we received a noise complaint early in the morning, and were sent the exact time range by the owners that the noise complaint was received which coincided exactly with when we arrived back to the property after a night out. So if you stay here, just know you need to be quiet as a mouse at night, as the sound of us getting dropped off by an uber and talking while we walked to the front door was enough for a noise complaint. I can’t put this on the owners though, it’s the neighbors (I assume) that messaged them. That being said, I would still recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay for a night or two."

VERY Private Hilltop Hacienda with Spectacular 360 Degree Views

10/10 Excellent

"This property was amazing! It's on top of a hill, so the views of Tucson were spectacular from the pool. The front yard was the perfect place for watching the beautiful sunsets with all the Western décor, seating, and plants. The adjustable beds were soft and comfortable to sleep on after an evening in the pool, spa, or the jetted tub. It was quite relaxing to paint rocks and leave them in the yard with the other ones from past guests. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need and then some. The neighbors are respectful, quiet, and not right next to you. It's very private. The large grill outside has a refrigerator, which is very handy, and is next to the awesome bar with the big outdoor TV that you can watch from the pool."

Elegant magical rustic round house by Saguaro National Park

10/10 Excellent

Ultimate Private Desert Escape, Infinity Pool, Million-Dollar View

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great place and a great trip. The pool and hot tub were great. The outside area was why we booked and it was well worth it. Response time for anything was quick and helpful. Would recommend."

Saguaro Canyon - Luxury Desert Escape with Pool-Spa & Stunning Views

10/10 Excellent

Tucson Bottle House - Both Main and Guest Houses - New Listing Discounts!

10/10 Excellent

"It was a wonderful space to host a family get together. We took family photos on the property and in the house, the arcway/walkway was probably the most popular spot, and of course the walls of bottles! There was a fair amount of space, especially with the guest house. Every corner had its own little charm. It was like a little adventure finding all the hidden treasures. It was also pet friendly, and had a water and food dish in both houses. There was lovely outdoor seating outside to hand out. I can tell it's a well cared for property!It's right near the national parks, and the driving trails! It's also not too far from other activities and resturants, maybe 30 minutes. The host can give recommendations, though we brought a our own food for cooking.The host communicated well, and responded promptly. She's put a lot of effort into the space and decorating! We'll definitely try to come back again."

Casa de Oro: 360° Desert Views, Pool & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This house was perfect… clean, well stocked with towels and kitchen supplies and appliances, comfortable, and so many fun things to do. We loved the pool, hot tub, and the billiards table. Lots of pool toys were available. Great location- easy access to a national park, hiking trails, shops, and restaurants. The sunsets from the back yard were unbelievably beautiful."
