The high-end linens will make it easy to fall asleep after a busy day exploring Tucson, and you can watch your favorite shows on the wall-mounted smart TV from the comfort of your bed.

A vintage-style sliding barn doors separate the bedroom from the spa-inspired bathroom. Take your pick between a luxurious soak in the bathtub or a steamy shower under the rain shower head. A convenient bathtub tray makes it easy to enjoy a glass of wine, snacks, and a good book while you soak your muscles in this elegant tub.

The kitchenette offers plenty of counter space for meal prep and open shelves stocked with plates, bowls, cups, and kitchen gadgets. Brew coffee in the coffee maker and enjoy it out on the patio, or enjoy cereal, yogurt, or fresh fruit at the farmhouse-style kitchen table.

In the evenings, bring a glass of wine or bowl of marshmallows out to the fire pit and share your adventures of the day around the fire. The dreamy backyard is complete with a veggie garden, mature trees that offer plenty of shade, romantic twinkling rope lights, and a unique desert landscape. Keep an eye out for our resident desert tortoise, Giles, or the magnificent Cooper’s hawks, roadrunners, cardinals, or vermilion flycatchers that frequent this backyard oasis!

Lovely Tucson cottage retreat
My husband and I enjoyed our 2 night stay in this serene cottage tucked in the corner of a well kept dessert garden yard. Bree and Claude thought of everything indoors too. Good coffee, a well equipped kitchenette, luxurious linens, and strong shower head all made our visit just what we needed. I only wish the weather would have cooperated more to read more outside. If in Tucson again, we will certainly return!

Tiny House... just right
We really enjoyed our stay at this tiny home. Perfect for two with just the right amount of room. Private but with access to the backyard, we would definitely book again.

Charming and comfortable
Loved my 2 nights' stay at the tiny house. My daughter is starting this fall at Arizona and she I came to town to help move her into her freshman year studio apartment. The tiny house had everything I needed to escape, relax and clean up. Everything worked well, was thoughtfully appointed. The place was clean, The bed, super comfy. Quiet and clean neighborhood. Will definitely come back.

Host profile image
I am an Airbnb Superhost with over a decade of experience managing short-term rental properties. I love the satisfaction that comes from helping others create lasting vacation memories that bring them joy for years to come. I hope our paths cross someday soon!

Why they chose this property

This tiny home is part of my very own property. My husband and I designed it from the ground up with an eye toward thoughtful design. We added many special touches so it feels like a 5-star resort! People always rave about the soaking tub and the super comfortable bed.

What makes this property unique

We aim to make your stay as private as you need it to be. The area is very quiet, with lots of native plants and visiting wildlife, including our desert tortoise Giles. I am a third-generation Tucsonan and my husband has lived here since he was a kid. We are happy to provide insights and recommendations about local area attractions.
