Top Desert Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Such wonderful people to rent from & are quick to respond with any questions or concerns you may have. The property is amazing & insanely quiet, pretty much like having your own private resort, plus you can't beat the view from the pool. There's also 2 pairs of mourning doves that basically hang out at the edge of pool all day which is cool, they don't bother you, they just grab a drink, fly away, then come back. We are looking forward to coming back again!"

Sonoran Sky Escape - 360 views - Heated Pool Option

10/10 Excellent

"Donovan was everything expected of a host. He was communicative, always responding quickly and resolving my questions. The property was like being in my own home. All the furnishings were comfortable and clean. I’ve been in many VRBO’s, and this was one of the cleanest. His cleaners are meticulous. The back yard is AMAZING. The view both day and night is beautiful. We were there to visit family and there there was something for everyone to do. The kitchen worked for me and we had a lot of visitors for brunch. I found everything I needed. Thank you Donovan. I thank you and my family thanks you for hosting your home. I will rent again and recommend it."

Fabulous Luxury Home on Quiet 2 acres

8/10 Good

"House was great. Back bedroom needs help with Ac. Comfort level of beds in the back two rooms not good. Back bedroom also needed carpet cleaned better. There was a needle in the carpet that was stepped on by one of us. Host ensured they would clean carpets. House was well stocked and comfortable."

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

10/10 Excellent

"We picked this home for a vacation with my family. We wanted memories made by the things we did together. The inside of the home is exactly as advertised. You really have privacy. There is fun to be had by the entire family with the game room. The theatre is great and the movie content and streaming ability is extensive. There is a beautiful professional kitchen . The heart of the house to me is the outdoor living area. There is a beautiful infinity pool, hot tub, fire pit, evaporators to cool the area, and comfortable lounge furniture. There is also a Brazilian churrasco grill. Our host Ron was great to speak with. He’s very responsive and has a beautiful home. I felt like I was in an Italian villa ."

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

10/10 Excellent

"This beautiful older home is beautiful. We had a few weather produced issues resolved by owner. It is very well stocked in kitchen and throughout house. Location is great…..scenery outstanding, quiet, and easy access to grocery,etc. We hated to leave this quiet, relaxing environment and will recommend it highly. We elected not to use hot tub prior to visit and this was shared with owner."

Hollywood Hills of Tucson: 20 Acres, Pool, Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and comfortable property with great views. The pool was wonderful and we appreciated that it was a good size. We spent most of our time outside either in the pool or on the patio. So peaceful! We also enjoyed seeing all kinds of wildlife including the nesting mourning doves, humming birds, gambel's quail, deer, javelinas, and rabbits. The home was stylish and had everything we could want. We would love to stay their again!"

Tucson Desert Crystal Cabin Historic Ranch 2BR with Amazing Mountain View

10/10 Excellent

"We so enjoyed our stay in the casita! It is definitely not a “frilly” location but if you’re looking to stay somewhere more rural feeling but still close to town, this is it! So much character and history. The views of the surrounding area are breathtaking. We came to town to see the saguaros and we were completely surrounded by them! Very comfortable stay, it felt like we were staying at a friend’s home. This was exactly what we were looking for. Great host, thank you for sending back my sweatshirt I forgot there!"
