About this property

Damselfly Studio. Contemporary, comfortable retreat with gorgeous views near SNP

With this studio I love to create a home away from home for my guests. It's like a luxurious hotelroom with privacy. 2 min from Saguaro Natl. Park - East. Ideal for hiking, biking and birding. Just outside city limits, overlooking the city with desert and mountain views. Dark night skies, howling coyotes, hooting owls and occasional javelinas. For your info; the studio is next to our casita. See more on this Dragonfly casita on vrbo.com/2504493

Saguaro National Park stay

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The Damselfly studio was roomy, comfortably furnished and very pleasant. We were very close to the Park for hiking and within easy driving distance to restaurants. Fredericka was a very accommodating and friendly host. You will not be disappointed if you stay there!

The host Fredericka deserves more than 5 stars! She was so friendly and knowledgeable. Offered lots of great suggestions for the area. The rental was absolutely fabulous. It was clean, had snacks and drinks provided, the decorations were fun, the property was just perfect. It was right in the center of all the activities we wanted to do. Fredericka made us feel like friends instead of just travelers passing by. We will definitely stay here again and strongly encourage anyone else to stay here too. You won’t regret it.

Host profile image
My name is Frederika, and I've worked in hospitality all my life. My knack for service could not be contained for long, so i decided to pursue my passion further at home! As an easy going person, I try to make my guests feel as at home as possible. While of course, respecting distance and privacy, for me and my guests.

Why they chose this property

We love Tucson because of its artsy historic downtown, its renowned university and its friendly people with a relaxed atmosphere and refined, hip eateries. The beautiful weather and abundant nature. We had no idea the Sonoran desert could be this beautiful. That's what we like to share with our guests.

What makes this property unique

We chose this home because of its location on 8 acres on top of a knoll overlooking the Tucson valley. Moreover, because of the casita so beautiful we wanted it for ourselves! ;-)
