Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

"Great place. It had a backyard with hummingbirds that we spent the evenings watching, and it was fenced so our dog could spend the time with us out back. Location was perfect for our activities and there were restaurants and a brewery in walking distance." -Jim

"After 5 days in Tombstone/Bisbee area for an event, we were very happy to have some down time before traveling home. The location was perfect—restaurants, botanical garden, antique store, and close to the airport for early flights." -Carrie

"This house provided a very scenic stay. It was easy to access, the layout was very nice. Robin was very helpful and communicative. I would recommend this house." -Alexis

"I had a wonderful stay! The place was quiet, clean, and exactly as described—perfect for relaxing. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure everything was seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!" -Amber

"Centrally located, a perfect stay for the international gem & mineral show. The view of the mountains was spectacular! The beds comfy, the bathrooms clean. A great stay all around. Robin and her crew were super responsive to any questions we had. We are already thinking of staying again next year." -Christy

🚗 Free parking is available right on the property for your convenience. While Tucson does have public bus routes and ride-share options, a car will be the most helpful way to explore the city, reach nearby attractions, and enjoy the beautiful desert landscapes at your own pace.

I’ve set up a 🌧️ rainwater harvesting system to nurture the plants in both the front and back yards. The landscaping is designed with hyper-local plants, creating food and shelter for 🦋 local pollinators. We hope you enjoy this immersive desert experience, taking in the natural beauty and relaxing while gazing at the 🌄 mountain views.

✨ Important Notes:

For the safety of our guests and to be considerate of our neighbors, we use outdoor security cameras (monitoring exterior areas only). Please note: 🚫 parties are not permitted at Tucson Tranquility.

🐾 Pet Policy: A $75 fee per dog (maximum of 2 dogs).
