About this property

Desert Gem Guest House nestled among lush Mesquite trees.

Desert Gem Guesthouse

Located on the far east side of Tucson in the Rincon/Vail area. This cozy 1200 sq.ft. guesthouse is surrounded by lush mesquite trees and can easily accommodate up to 6 guests. The front porch is ideal for having your morning cup of coffee/tea or afternoon wine, bird watching and taking in the view of the Rincon Mts. and Rincon Peak. Located only 5.3 miles from Saguaro National Park East and 8.2 miles from Colossal Cave. Our Desert Gem is fully furnished with a king bed in the master bedroom. Others can sleep in the back room that is furnished with a bunk bed that has both a full and twin size mattress. This room also has your own washer and dryer set up. The open floor plan creates a welcoming living room with a queen size bed, TV, WiFi, Bluetooth phone access. This space is shared with a dining area for 6 and a full kitchen with all necessary appliances. The back room has a lovely all glass windowed garage door that, along with a standard backdoor, will open up to the safely fenced in back and side yard. Here you can enjoy sitting around a fire pit and view the small lush wash that borders the property, creating total privacy between you and the neighbors for a very quiet and secluded desert retreat, and yet, only a 30 min. drive to downtown Tucson. The best of both worlds!

Beautiful peaceful place.
Incredibly nice place to stay. Had my elderly parents with me that can’t get around like they use to. This place was perfect for them. No big stairs and the amenities were perfect for them. Especially that shower. We had a huge amount of family in for a wedding and the would come and visit my dad/mom and everyone was so impressed by the property. Everything was thought of! Thank you so very much!

I have lived in several areas of the United States but settled in Tucson in1998. I have come to love this area and I enjoy sharing it's beauty and unique history with guests.

Why they chose this property

The Desert Gem Guesthouse is located in an older well established sub-division called Rocking K Ranch Estates. The neighbors are far enough apart to feel you are a part of nature and often able to see desert wildlife. This quiet neighborhood lends itself nicely for leisurely walks to take in the mountain views during the day or stargazing at night.

What makes this property unique

The Desert Gem Guesthouse has its own driveway with plenty of space for multiple car parking. A fenced in back and side area with its own fire-pit will create a nice space for night time socializing. The all glass garage door to this area can easily open to bring the outdoors in.
