About this property

Stairway to Heaven Cabin

Great cabin located in the heart of Mount Lemmon, with lots of shade. The cabin is within walking distance to Summerheaven and a short distance to Ski Valley. This cabin is great for a family of four and has all the amenities you'll need for a great cabin stay. We are pet-friendly. The cabin has two decks to enjoy, and we have very relaxing deck seating available and a comfortable hammock to lay down and enjoy the shade.

This cabin is not called “Stairway to Heaven” for nothing. From the north side of the cabin (road), it will take you 62 steps to the cabin entrance. However, you can drive up the private driveway on the south side of the cabin, which is 32 steps down to the cabin entrance. You have to drive up a hill to get to the private driveway. The hill may seem steep; however, this is the easiest way to get to the cabin's south side/main entrance; a 4x4 or all-wheel-drive car is recomended.

You'll love this cabin!

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the Stairway to Heaven cabin. It's conveniently located to Summerhaven and easy hiking trails. I especially loved how clean the cabin was upon arrival. I am always hesitant to stay somewhere that is not immaculately clean without any odors. This exceeded my expectations. An added plus-Francisco is terrific. He is very responsive and helpful.

7th anniversary getaway

We had a wonderful stay at your cozy cabin in the woods. We unplugged, relaxed, played games, saw a pack of coatimundi, played with the pups, and watched movies. Wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary. We will be back!

Very nice and relaxing stay. Property was clean and spacious. Kitchen was stocked with basic necessities. Had a grill we made use of for steak. We’ve stayed at many cabins and each have different perks and this didn’t fall short. The stairs were something to get used too not my favorite. Close to shopping and restaurants and great for a nice stroll around the little area. The best part was it’s so close to Tucson. Book early these cabins go fast and this one was no different. Host had great communication and we never had unanswered questions.

Wonderful place to stay.

This is a beautiful location and a lovely cabin. The fireplace was so nice to look at in the cool evenings early April. We really felt like we were one with nature. Summerhaven is a short walk and is great to see. The Stewart Observatory was only an 8 minute drive home to our cabin. Francisco went out of his way to be helpful We really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful weekend in the woods!

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for and more - a perfect little treehouse escape away from it all. It was stocked with everything we needed plus some. The upstairs bed is so comfortable, we had the best night’s sleep in months! Our pups really enjoyed the doggie bed and we appreciated having the gate built into the deck railing so we didn’t have to worry about restraining them. We will definitely be back!

Stairway to Heaven is Perfectly Named

Our stay at Stairway to Heaven was fantastic from start to finish. Francisco was a warm and gracious host and was quick to respond to our questions. We wanted to escape the heat and stay in a cabin in the woods for a few days, and the property exceeded our expectations. The location was serene and peaceful, offering a perfect retreat from the heat of the valley. All we could hear from the cabin's large deck were the sounds of birds, creating an incredibly tranquil atmosphere. The cabin itself was cozy and well-equipped. We highly recommend Stairway to Heaven for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Summerhaven and the surrounding area. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

A winter getaway

This location was good and I’m glad I had my truck to navigate the dirt roads. Francisco was great with communicating all of the necessary information to make it an enjoyable stay! Based on previous reviews, we were expecting a bit more from this cabin. We felt the kitchen needed a very deep cleaning. It lacked the items needed, although it had plenty of grilling accessories. Being it was December, we decided to bring homemade soups. To our surprise, there were no ladles and we also could not find a butter knife. The mini split heater and fireplace kept the cabin comfortable. It did take a few hours to get warm, which was expected, but after that, the next four days were fine. The internet and smart TV worked fine. The one issue we had was that the couch facing the TV was broken and uncomfortable to sit on. We brought this issue up to Francisco, but his timeline to resolve the problem was after we left. They knew about this issue before we arrived, but nothing was said to us. All in all, it was an okay stay.

Nice Stay with Imperfect Outcome

The cabin itself is very bare bones but cute, cozy and sufficient. We are low maintenance people and we loved it. The location is everything. The stairs were hard but he makes that very clear in the listing so we came prepared for that. The cabin was very clean but I will mention that dog hair was everywhere and if you aren’t a dog person be prepared- that was a little uncomfortable but no biggie. There is no sound proofing whatsoever so sleep was rough. The unfortunate outcome was that after our very beautiful stay celebrating our daughter’s 18th birthday I received a text from the host accusing us of breaking their Murphy sofa. This was shocking because it actually hadn’t worked the first night we tried it. I explained this to him but he still charged us an additional $300 to replace it in spite of it being decades old and made of particle board. So that put a damper on our getaway and we won’t be returning as we had planned. Our mistake was obviously in not contacting him the minute we found that it didn’t work but there were multiple small things that didn’t work and we just didn’t mind. If you choose to stay with this host, definitely keep this in mind and report everything and anything that doesn’t work. I should also mention that VRBO handled the situation for us in what I can only describe as the best customer service experience of my life. ☺️

We enjoyed our stay overall. It was great that they accomodate pets and we could bring our lab along. Our girls really enjoyed the loft and the board games and giggled the night away. I enjoyed the peace and quiet and just being in nature. The mattress/pillows are not the most comfortable so we had a difficult time going to sleep and ending up coming home a night early. Otherwise, it's a very peaceful, lovely cabin.

This was the perfect little cabin for our family and pup! The location was very quiet and peaceful, but also very close to Summerhaven restaurants, like Sawmill and Cookie Cabin. The owners were very responsive and helpful for everything we needed. It was an awesome stay, and much cooler up in the mountain, than down in Tucson. :-)

The name of the cabin is accurate - heavenly! Cute cozy cabin in the woods with an awesome deck. Enjoyed hiking the trails around Mt Lemmon then coming back to relax and play games in the cabin with a fire to keep us warm at night.

Great Getaway Cabin

Beautiful property tucked back in the mountains. Exactly what we had hoped for and the host was very communicative and helpful. We brought our large great dane mixed dog and she had a great time too! Has everything needed for cold weather- a fireplace, split unit heater, plug in heaters, water heater, snow shovel, etc. It happened to snow quite a bit while we were up there and the cabin stayed warm and comfortable (almost too hot at times!) The host was very helpful with tips on where to park and what to bring too. Would love to visit again. Thank you Francisco!

Great cabin awesome location

Our stay at the cabin was absolutely delightful! The location is perfect—close to the shops in Summerhaven, yet far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet without all the traffic. Nestled on a picturesque hill, the cabin offers breathtaking views and a serene environment.The cabin itself is spacious and cozy, with a charming loft and all the comforts of home. The full kitchen is well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. We loved having two TVs and reliable internet access, which made for a perfect mix of relaxation and entertainment.The front and back porches are fantastic spots to unwind and take in the natural beauty of the surroundings. And as a pet-friendly cabin, it was wonderful to have our furry friend join us for the vacation.Overall, this cabin is a gem, and we can't wait to return for another wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Francisco

Host profile image
We love to visit Mt. Lemmon as much as we can and bought this cabin with the intent to spend more quality time with my family. I did some renovations by adding some new stairs and a family deck. After spending the first couple of months at the cabin, I thought it would be a great idea to share our cabin with families that love the outdoors and Mt. Lemmon as much as we love it.

Why they chose this property

We bought this cabin because it is truly a cabin and not a house. From the first time you walk into the cabin, you get the feel of the mountains. The cabin is surrounded by tons of trees and is very shaded. You can sit back outside and enjoy the mountains, or take a walk to Summerhaven or hit the trails close by.

What makes this property unique

There are two ways to get to the cabin. It's not called the "Stairway to Heaven Cabin", for nothing. You can park on the north end of the cabin, across the street from the bottom of the stairway leading up to the cabin, this is a long way at 62 steps from the bottom of the stairway to entrance of the cabin. It's not a straight walk-up, you have to take your time and take a breather between stair levels.

Then, there is an easy way. Drive about 75 more yards east. You will see a street sign named, "Tanger". At first look, Tanger road looks intimidating because the road looks very steep, but it is not. You don't need a four-wheel-drive car or an all-wheel-drive car, you just need to put your car into low gear and drive up slow. In about 200 yards, you will see two red light reflectors, this is our driveway. The driveway is private and can only be accessed by the renter. You can turn your car around in the driveway. The stairway from the top of the driveway to the deck of the cabin is 32 steps leading south.
