Top Desert Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

Saguaro Canyon - Luxury Desert Escape w Heated Pool-Spa & Stunning Views

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve stayed at this house a couple times now and never disappoints. Ron is a great host that has an open line of communication at all times. Very friendly, respectful and easy to work/talk with which can be hard today renting vacation homes. I look forward to renting this home again next year and would recommend 100 percent."

Ladera Vistas - Panoramic Views, Heated Infinity Pool-Spa, Access to Hiking

10/10 Excellent

"The property was accurately described. It was grand in every way. It had incredible views and all that you needed to NOT make you want to leave. We had an incredible time there… we loved all the wildlife! Birds, roadrunners, hares, lizards, and javelina family! It was close to everything. I just can’t say enough wonderful things! Ron was an impeccable host and helped with a few minor issues in super fast speed! Thank you so much!!! If you want a beautiful place to stay… that is located on a little slice of heaven… that is super close to one of the most peaceful places on earth… then this is your spot!!! We cannot wait to come back!!!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"Loved staying at this property! The road to the house is a bit stressful (would recommend a 4x4), but the views were amazing. And the house was very nicely stocked with everything needed to have a good time. Cary and Norris thought of everything. Would love to visit again!"

This Desert Oasis in the foothills of the Saguaro National Forest Awaits!

10/10 Excellent

"The Desert Oasis is the best rental we have experienced at Tucson Estates! It is an adorable home, spacious and nicely furnished and decorated. The bedrooms are a good size, and the beds were really comfortable. Our hostess, Elena, and her representative, Cass, were nice and great at communicating. All of our questions were answered with patience and in a timely manner. This home had many supplies for our use, including cute baskets in each bathroom filled with q-tips, hotel-size bar soap, shampoo & conditioner, and body lotion. There were even extra shavers. These items were thoughtful and greatly appreciated. One of the best items for use was the golf cart that we used to get to the pool, and for a run to Queen's Doughnuts. The location by the mountains was excellent! It was great for hiking, and for walking the labyrinth that was close to the trail head. My husband and I enjoyed our stay there. We would definitely recommend Desert Oasis as a great home-away-from-home. Thanks Elena!"

Horizon Haven•Hot Tub•Views•Game Room•Speakeasy

10/10 Excellent

"Views were better than even represented in the photos. Spacious and tons of room for our group of 8 guys on a golf trip. Very quiet neighborhood and neighbors might not be thrilled if you get too loud outside which is understandable. Plenty of rooms and common areas to hang out indoors after dark anyways. Would stay again if needed for a large group."

VERY Private Hilltop Hacienda with Spectacular 360 Degree Views

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had a wonderful stay at this Tucson vacation home. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights was the incredible view—waking up each morning and enjoying the beautiful desert scenery was truly special.The pool was another standout feature. It was clean, inviting, and quickly became our family's favorite place to spend time together. Whether we were swimming during the day or relaxing poolside in the evening, it added so much to our experience. The ambient heat plus the water heater made the pool perfect.The location was great, offering both privacy and easy access to Tucson's attractions. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a memorable Arizona vacation."
