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.

The view and location captured the best parts of the experience. There were several games and movies to choose from giving the old school experience but also had modern TVs for other options .Had everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare our own meals. Beds were cozy!

Such a special place amongst the trees. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect getaway for our anniversary and away from the summer heat in Tucson, in July. The grill on the deck was so nice to have. Location is close to trails for us to explore. Quiet neighborhood. Definitely will be returning!

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.

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.
