The Bunkhouse met all our needs! It is nicely appointed, and the hosts have included lots of special touches so that we felt like we were at home. The air conditioning and outdoor pool were must haves in the unseasonably hot weather we experienced! If we are in the Tucson area again, we will definitely book the Bunkhouse!

We enjoyed our stay in the bunkhouse! We loved that it was quiet & the fresh orange & grapefruit were a bonus! Even though the pool wasn’t heated we enjoyed it during the 90 degree days. Also enjoyed hearing the owl at night. Having access to a washer & dryer was nice after all our hiking.

We loved how close the house was to Saguaro National Park where we did lots of hiking. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking but ate all of our meals out with the many Mexican food trucks in the area. Loved picking oranges & grapefruit off the trees in the yard for afternoon snacks. Lou & Oz were such welcoming, kind people & have the bunkhouse decorated so cute! The pool in their backyard was so beautiful & wonderful to relax in & by after mornings hiking. So nice of them to share that gem with their guests! Nice front porch on the bunkhouse to relax on & enjoy the sunsets!! Would highly recommend this place!!

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!

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.
