Wonderful Warmth

Jamie and Kevin were very welcoming and gracious hosts. The camper was well equipped and very comfortable. The location away from town in the desert was ideal for us- we felt like we were in nature the minute we stepped out the door, yet there was easy access to things we wanted to see. Jamie and Kevin gave good recommendations for things nearby. It was a great break from Minnesota’s cold weather.

SuperHosts!

From the moment we received our reservation confirmation I knew Jamie and Kevin were going to be those people that are put in the path of your life, and they were! So helpful, so accommodating and just wanting us to have a good experience. We loved the out of the wayness their 5th wheel offered us as we discovered Tucson and enjoyed relaxing at the property soaking in the view. The 5th wheeler was stocked with everything we needed and was very comfortable, right down to the “fireplace”! Don’t hesitate to book this adorable property and meet these super hosts!

Peaceful and relaxing!

My husband and I had a great relaxing time staying in the RV. Jamie and Kevin were great hosts, very friendly and helpful. The RV was in a great location, very quiet but an easy 10 minute drive in to town. Definitely would recommend if you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway! The RV was very clean and stocked with all essentials.

Desert Solitude-Perfect

Our stay at Desert Solitude was excellent and met our expecations. It was miles away from the city, dark sky nights and nestled up against the Copper Mountains and Santa Catalina Park. The "5th wheel" was new and impeccably clean with all the necessities need for stay.

Fun weekend getaway!

Jamie and Kevin are great hosts– my friend and I felt as if they were our long, lost grandparents :) The camper is located behind their house– it was spacious, accommodating, and clean. The mountains in the background are breathtaking. Would stay again!

Exclusive, intimate & adventurous

My Husband and I came from the East coast to experience something different and exciting and found exactly that. Our hosts, Kevin and Jamie were amazing. Together, they ensured a positive experience. The camper was clean, modern, and filled with all the every day amenities you would need to have for a comfortable stay. They gave us tons of insight on different places to visit. They treated us like family and made us feel so welcome. The property was beautiful with a view of the mountains just far enough out of town to be secluded but just miles to all the shopping centers and restaurants surrounded by cozy and quaint beautiful little neighborhoods. We travel quite often, and we both agree, that this has been our favorites so far. Thank you Kevin & Jamie for such wonderful hospitality! We will be back! Demetrius & Virginia
