Great location; aging property

This was a beautifully situated house with easy access to many Tucson sights and views of the surrounding mountains. The house is spacious with lots of natural light and desert landscaping. It was clearly an upscale home in its day, with tile floors, large rooms and a well maintained pool. However, it is showing signs of age, needing some repairs and updating of appliances. We can recommend for a family gathering.

Catalina Foothills

The Good Lovely home and area. Easiest check in ever! Fantastic southwestern architecture. The Bad Pool and decking need some love. A diamond back rattlesnake was lodging in the pool deck cracks. Kitchen didn’t have storage bowls or lids for leftovers and only one small cutting board. The Ugly Promised by owner the return of $500 deposit, but weeks later and no return in sight.

This home has so much character!

We stayed for 5 nights in this beautiful house. It has so much character and charm. It’s older but that’s what makes it so special. Sitting outside on the patio enjoying our coffee each morning was the best! It was so relaxing and peaceful. The neighborhood is quiet. The view is amazing. The host was wonderful! It was the little things that they paid attention to that are what made our stay so warm and welcoming. We would definitely stay at this house with Roger as a host again!

The property was absolutely fantastic for our family. An abundance of room inside and outby the pool. The dining room table and the living space overall was perfect for our family. Thank you Roger for your help and quick contact and for being informative about the place and the local area. Nice write up on the counter of places to go and things to do.

Great Experience

We really enjoyed our stay here. The history and architecture really were the crown jewel of our stay but the outdoor space and proximity to everything made it the perfect spot. Keep in mind this is a mid century modern home that is 70 some years old so expect a unique experience. Loved it!

Wonderful stay!

Our family (including family dog) loved staying in this home. The house, although showing a bit of deferred maintenance, was loaded with character and charm. And the views! Where do I start - absolutely stunning vistas from every window. Quiet, private, beautifully landscaped. We look forward to returning to this home!

Wonderful property and house with character

We stayed here to celebrate my grandma's 96th birthday. The house is well suited for the elderly (all one level). The covered patio and pool area is absolutely lovely! The house is from the 1950s and my grandma actually knew the Udall family who lived here! We had a great time! The house is well equipped, the beds are comfy, everything looked clean. There's some wear and tear due to age but nothing that causes issues. I'd definitely stay here again! And Roger was very helpful and always responded via phone or text. Great place!

Tucson just like I like it

This home evokes a certain feeling about Tucson. The Natural setting is amazing. You are greeted by the cooing mourning doves, and the delicate scent of jasmine, against the beautiful backdrop of the Catalinas and that makes it perfect for enjoying just being there. The home is equip with all you need and gobs of pool floats made it so much fun! Roger was a super host and easy to communicate with. If you are looking for bling & luxe, maybe this isn't quite it...but it's a wonderful part of Tucson's foothills community-just what we were after.
