3 great weeks in Tucson

My wife and I avoided some of Wisconsin’s winter by staying for 3 weeks in Amanda’s wonderful rental. The 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house has everything you need for a perfect vacation. There’s a huge kitchen and dining room with all the necessary appliances and utensils. Amanda was easy to contact and immediately responded to any questions. Great house in a great neighborhood.

Already Booked for Next Year!

I cannot say enough about this property. One of the best I’ve rented! The house is exactly as described. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood. It was very clean and well stocked - everything you need in the kitchen - plus, they even provided a few snacks! The layout is great for 2 or 4 people - very comfortable beds - plenty of room to spread out in the house - has a nice dining area, living room and small desk/study area. There are 2 full bathrooms - one for each bedroom. Awesome to have a washer and dryer for a longer stay. Easy to follow instructions for easy check-in/check-out. Super responsive owner/management - was able to answer questions quickly. Thank you for providing the perfect accommodations!

Great home!

The place was great and exactly how it was listed. It was our first ever VRBO booking and don’t regret it - as we usually stay in hotels. Only think I’d recommend is having wash clothes available and curtains or some sort of window coverings in the living area.

Some of my personal favorite activities in the local area include leisurely visits to Himmel Park, a short walk away, offering fun spaces for kids, a relaxing pool, bocce ball, and ample room for dog lovers.
