"Our family had the best time! We had 2 dogs with us and the fenced in property made it that much more enjoyable. Absolutely loved sitting on the front porch relaxing with a cup of coffee and a good book. Plan was to just get out of the Tucson heat for a long weekend and spend time with our adult children. The house had a well stocked kitchen to make yummy meals and then gather at a beautiful high top dining room table. We ended the days with stories and s’more around the fire pit. Booking the property, checking in and communicating with Nona, the host was a breeze. Wish we had more time, but look forward to returning!!"
