We really enjoyed our stay at the bunkhouse. Our hosts welcomed us when we arrived with kindness and cheer (after Christmas stay). As many guests already mentioned, everything in the bunkhouse is top clean and perfectly organized. Lou and Ozzie possess a wealth of knowledge on plants and animals and we would have loved more time at the property.

Everything was so clean with great amenities. It's a very warm and inviting place. Ozzy and Lou came to welcome us. They're great! Our favorite part was sitting on the deck. Very peaceful and relaxing. The location is great since it's right off the main road, however, it felt like we were far away from it with all of the space and privacy that's found on the property. Would definitely stay here again!!

The property is exceptionally well-kept. The landscaping is beautiful and the living quarters are just right for a single guest or a couple. The hosts are friendly and welcoming and have thought of just about everything a guest could need or want. The property is well-supplied with every necessity and there is a good selection of books, movies and even puzzles. If you’re looking for a comfortable and peaceful place to stay, I highly recommend the Bunkhouse!

Paradise in Picture Rocks

Lou and Ozzie are fabulous hosts. They go out of their way to make your stay at, (The Bunkhouse) an amazing experience. They also give you your space on the property. Their attention to detail is spot on, as far as what they include in The Bunkhouse for your stay. The area is rural and quiet but you are not far from Marana or Tucson. I have yet to meet hosts that are as accepting as these two. 10 out of 10.

Great Place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay in The Bunkhouse! We chose to stay here because of its proximity to the venue for the wedding we were attending, but if we are ever in the area again, we would stay here again. It was nice to sit on the deck and watch the hummingbirds. Great accommodations! Thank you for sharing The Bunkhouse with us!

What a beautiful property! When we pulled in we were immediately met by the Hosts who were gracious and welcoming! The kitchen was well stocked and easy to prepare meals. The focal point of our stay was the front porch! What a Time Suck! In the morning while it's still cool(we went in July) we would have our tea and plan our day! What with the Hummingbirds flying all around and watching the rabbits and other wildlife it could take hours just to leave! Time Suck! Then in the evening, it's the sunset that does you in, because it goes on for hours! Also, this location is superb! It's not in Tucson proper, but off the beaten path

About the host

Hosted by Lou Medran

Host profile image
Longtime Tucson residents that love desert living and the outdoors. Ozzie moved here 19 years ago from the east coast and would not trade living in the desert for anywhere else.
I simply love it here.

Why they chose this property

Quiet picturesque setting. We enjoy tranquil days and amazing starry nights in the heart of the Tucson Mountains. Enjoy bird watching for hummingbirds, eagles, owls, woodpeckers, quail and if you're really lucky... a Roadrunner... Beep Beep! We're close to Old Tucson Studios, Saguaro National Park, The Ironwood National Monument, and a easy day trip away from world famous Tombstone, Tubac art community, Bisbee, a mining town known for its blue turquoise, Colossal Cave and many more. Come for one of our many festivals, The world-famous Tucson Gem and Mineral show, Mariachi Festival, El Tour de Tucson bicycle race, The Fiesta De Los Vaqueros Tucson Rodeo and Rex Allen Days in Wilcox Az. to name a few. Whatever you reason for visiting southern Arizona we think you'll enjoy our hospitality and peaceful setting.

What makes this property unique

Owners would love to take you on guided morning hikes through The Tucson Mountains, visiting abandoned mines and ancient Indian petroglyphs. Relax by the pool or snooze in the hammock under a huge ironwood tree or enjoy the sunsets from the large front porch see coyote, quail, rabbits and if you're really fortunate maybe even a bobcat. Bird watch, pick fresh oranges & grapefruit to enjoy for breakfast.
