Jan was an amazing host! She provided everything that we needed for a successful mini vacation. The educational materials and maps of Tubac were greatly appreciated. Jan went the extra mile for everything Example: she not only accepted our little dog at the very last minute, she left "head" lights for us to walk him. We had a wonderful stay and are looking forward to another stay at Jan's property.

We had such a great time in Tubac even though it rained. Coming from Tucson we appreciate rain!! The only thing we would have liked is a non slip mat for the tub. But that’s because we are old and don’t want to fall Our host Jan even offered to extend our stay because of the rain which I thought was so kind and generous!!

Tubac is awesome

Great house for a couple people! Kitchen was adequately stocked with utensils and the house was very clean upon arrival. The sky deck is a great place to cap off your day and have some tea before bed. The community is very nice and welcoming with hiking near by.

Great place in Tubac

Cute rental in Tubac. Perfect for a couple. We stayed 2 nights and found it very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was comfortable. It has a lovely patio and sky deck but it was pretty chilly to sit outside in the evening. Easy walk or drive into Tubac. Highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay again!
