About the host
Your host
I live in the SF Bay Area but love escaping to the Sonoran desert! When I’m not at work you can find me gardening, cycling, hiking, or enjoying some live music.
Why they chose this property
I chose this house because it is stunning from the time you walk in. The view from the chefs kitchen is the best in the house. (impossible to truly capture in photos). Next the golden hour sunset from the formal living room is truly priceless.
What makes this property unique
Centrally located within the Catalina Foothills it is just minutes from almost everything you need. It is also the largest house in a quiet residential neighborhood with a stunning view of the mountains and even a bit of the city view from the bedrooms.
