Damselfly Studio. Contemporary, comfortable retreat with gorgeous views near SNP

With this studio I love to create a home away from home for my guests. It's like a luxurious hotelroom with privacy. 2 min from Saguaro Natl. Park - East. Ideal for hiking, biking and birding. Just outside city limits, overlooking the city with desert and mountain views. Dark night skies, howling coyotes, hooting owls and occasional javelinas. For your info; the studio is next to our casita. See more on this Dragonfly casita on vrbo.com/2504493

Saguaro National Park stay

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The Damselfly studio was roomy, comfortably furnished and very pleasant. We were very close to the Park for hiking and within easy driving distance to restaurants. Fredericka was a very accommodating and friendly host. You will not be disappointed if you stay there!

Quiet spot near Tucson

We stayed 3 nights and found it to be very relaxing. Host was very pleasant and loaned me her new coffee press since I don't care for the Keurig. Wish the bed was larger. A queen would be have been perfect.
