Ocotillo House: Gateway to Saguaro National Park

Near the Loop and a 4 minute drive to Saguaro National Park, our spacious, private home is perfect for the outdoor adventurist. After a day of hiking and desert exploration, relax in the spa and heated pool. Our Santa Fe style house has dedicated office space and an open floor plan, so its great for cooking meals and socializing. You’ll enjoy spectacular mountain views and breathtaking sunsets. Includes garage parking, W/D, fireplace, bbq. Located 25 minutes from downtown and the Tucson Airport.

-- The space --
Our home pays homage to the surrounding desert, with colors and objects that remind us of the amazing array of life teeming in our backyard. The house has an open floor plan with lots of light, so the rooms all flow into each other. The kitchen overlooks the living room, which makes it easy to prepare meals while interacting with other guests. The living room and primary bedroom both have Roku TVs. The living room is our cozy "rustic desert" area housing a large leather sectional with 3 recliners and a natural gas kiva style fireplace.
Bedroom 1 has a private bathroom with an amazing custom built shower and dual vanities. This bedroom, which has a king bed, is on a separate wing of the house.
Bedroom 2 has a California King bed and is our nod to the inspiring sunsets and natural beauty of the Sonoran dessert.
Bedroom 3 has a queen bed and is comfy with a traditional southwestern feel.
Bedroom 4 is a corner windowed office with a trundle bed, so it can be converted to a 2 twin bedroom.

The laundry facilities are great for extended stays and the 2.5 car garage has plenty of room for parking.

You'll likely spend much of your time in the backyard. We have a spacious lot with multiple seating/gathering areas and a stone wall around the perimeter. There's a plethora of native vegetation, such as ocotillos, saguaros, barrel cactus, prickly pear, and creosote bushes. BBQ grill is ready to go with 6 burners. The pool is great for those hot summer days. Pool heating is available for an extra $60/day (non-refundable). The spa is a great way to end the day (plan ahead - depending on the temperature, it takes 20 to 60 minutes to fully heat up).

We love our home and love our neighbors, so if you're looking to book a space for a party weekend, this place is not for you. We have zero tolerance for large, loud parties.

-- Guest access --
An access code will be sent on the morning of check-in. Parking in the 2 car garage is encouraged but there is also a large driveway available.

-- Other things to note --
Pool can be heated for an additional $60 per day to be remitted prior to arrival. Please make sure to pre-request pool to be heated as it takes up to 24 hours for it to warm to temperature. No refunds for this option.
