Ocotillo Awesome

Great house and yard, and extremely responsive hosts. Especially good location if you plan to visit the East half of Saguaro National Park (or the other open spaces East of Tucson - Tanque Verde Falls is amazing when there's water in it). Had a little more street noise than we anticipated, but this was a minor issue. I've stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this is a great house with great hosts.

Fantastic home! Even better than the pictures !

Beautifully decorated home with tons of space! This home makes relaxing easy! We used the pool and hot tub multiple times a day. This home has everything you could possibly need. The guide they provide of the area was our key to finding the best food. Our kids didn’t want to leave!

Perfect House in the Perfect Location!

We had an absolutely perfect stay at the Ocotillo House. We are from the Seattle area and wanted to see actual sun and be in some warm weather and this place was ideal. The house is bigger than it seems in photos and really clean and well stocked. Everything you could think of was provided. The pool and spa and backyard were amazing. We spent most of our time out there. I really can't say enough about how great this place was. The owners are super responsive and I appreciated that. We'd love to come back here next year!

Midwest meets Ocotillo House

All visiting guests were from MN & OH, many who had not been to Tucson before this trip. The home made us feel welcome and comfortable right from the start. The owners were very helpful in making our vacation a brief but spectacular moment(s). We would definitely be willing to book again, if we get back to the Tucson area. Thanks to Matt & Clint for making their place available.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Cramer

We live in Denver, Colorado but are drawn to the desert and all the unique experiences it provides.

Tucson serves as our gateway to the amazing Sonoran Desert. There are tons of hiking trails and outdoor activities so we always find somewhere new to explore. The wildlife is abundant and the flora is spectacularly unique - especially when the cactuses are in bloom. It’s magical!

The city of Tucson, nestled in between two mountain ranges, is known for its cutting edge cuisine and has a lively food scene. We love checking out new breweries and wineries. Tucson is big enough to offer anything you need but small enough to feel like it cares that you’re there.

Why they chose this property

Our home is minutes away from Saguaro National Park and tons of great hiking. We’re a bit away from downtown so we feel closer to the outdoors and appreciate the dark skies. You can gaze at the stars from the spa at night - it’s amazing! The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and our yard is full of native vegetation.

What makes this property unique

We’ve always loved the Sante Fe/adobe style houses so were immediately drawn to this house. The inside is modern, spacious, and open, which is ideal for family get togethers. Aside from the heated pool and in ground spa, the outside space is large and private. We commonly see an amazing array of birds and lizards visiting our yard. Quails stop in for an occasional visit. It feels so vibrant and full of life.
