The Ranch House is in a quiet neighborhood with a private and very lovely yard. We did quite a bit of porch-sitting. The house was artistically appointed and kitchen well supplied. Our host was very attentive to our needs. We loved our stay, as did our dog.

Comfy Tucson Ranch

Quaint, comfy, convenient and over all perfect for my friend and I to stay in Tucson for a few days. Personalized touches throughout the house that made the stay seem like staying at a friend’s getaway home instead of a rental. Loved it and would definitely stay there again!

Delightful Nostalgic Place

We got this place in case a friend showed up but it was all to ourselves. Great location! and really nice place. Reminded me of grandma's houses in S CA. Great parking and quiet! Easy to buzz around town from and good internet with a tv in three rooms. Love the bathroom shower. Would stay again.

Lovely home

The Ranch was perfect for our needs while visiting family in Tucson. Very comfortable beds, extremely fluffy towels and a kitchen well appointed for cooking. The heating worked great as we encountered a cold snap. We loved the outdoor fire as well. The neighbourhood was nice and quiet. Robin and Bob were super helpful and kind. The visitors in the studio behind were lovely and respectful. We will definitely stay again.

Family stay in tuscon

We really enjoyed the ranch deck in yhe late afternoon to relax and visit aftet a hike. The beds were comfortable and the streets had little traffic. The kitchen was a nice size for the four of us. Only complaint , no hangers in one bedroom closet. Also the area was nice to walk in, but the ad was misleadong, not near the college.

Cute older home

It appears the house is divided into two rentals. The bedroom with the wooden bed shared a wall with the other rental. During the quiet of the night we heard everything. Not much different than in a hotel. Nice period decorations. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. Outside courtyard cute.

Cozy and convenient

Nice little cottage with a lovely front patio to enjoy sun or shade and watch the birds. Seemed to be a good neighbourhood and very convenient. We never drove far to get supplies or go to attractions. Decor and comfort were top knotch although the kitchen supplies were a bit skimpy for an 11 day stay. ie one dishcloth and tea towel, 10 water glasses but only 1 wine glass, no garlic press, 3 bread knives but no chef's knife or decent paring knife for cutting vegetables. Minor things that made it a bit difficult to cook all our meals. However, lots of great places to eat cheap in Tucson so we did that instead.

Thanks for the heads up Ursula on the supplies. We did have some wine glasses but they may have gotten broken and noone let us know, same as the chefs knife, things dissappear and we dont notice, so I appreciate you letting us know.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
I was under the impression that this was a fenced in area (for my dog), however it is not. The listing made it seem like everything "outside" was shared, but that is not the case. One tenant gets one fire pit/area and the other tenant gets the other. Cant pick/no choice. The property is kind of tucked away and the driveway is tight and narrow. We missed it, and had to turn around and go back through. The laundry room smelled a bit like urine, and there was all kinds of leaves/debris in the washer. Overall didnt look clean. The furniture in the house is outdated and stained. The one recylined chair pictured in the listing had an ottoman, and it was broke, held together by one screw. My mother almost hurt her leg using it. The iron door lock/hook to the bathroom was broken and fell off when we tried to lock the bathroom door, almost got my toe (heavy as hell). The rugs in the bedroom were stained and nasty. The beds were uncomfortable. Kitchenware out dated. The decor was awful, and untasteful. No firewood available. So that i was not blamed/charged i contacted the "host" to advise of the broken items. At that point i was told the people that stayed prior to us was there for a week and they did a number.. I then used that time to ask about fire wood, and was told that "wood" was not provided. However, the host did come on the property later that day to bring some old wood from the back/woods part of the house. I will not stay here again. Totally embrassed by guests

Response from VrboOwner on 12 March 2026
Wow! This was a terrible case of NOT reading the listing. I am sorry that the listing was not the Taj Mahal and instead was the 1940's ranch Bungalow that you paid for. All the furniture shown in the pictures was the exact furniture that was in our home, old ranch furnishings to match the home, and new items where appropriate. We never say the property is fully fenced in. And all the dishes are new from 3 years ago with a few vintage items to fit the venue. The only real complaint here was the soiled rugs which I agree should have been changed out by my cleaning gal. Firewood is not promised but sometimes available. The ottoman was not discovered and an complete accident left by previous guest. And Seriously complaining that a driveway is hidden. PLEASE READ THE LISTING NEXT TIME.

Easy, Clean, Cute & A Good Location

This property was even BETTER than the listing would suggest. It's incredibly well decorated, which doesn't come through in the photos as well as it does in real life. It's not the most important part of a property, for sure, but it shows the owner really cares about this place! Everything was very clean and tidy, and I've actually never felt such fluffy towels. The entire process was streamlined and very simple. The host was easy to reach and very friendly. And, my personal favorite was how down to earth they were about pets. It's free fee (for now) assuming you do your due diligence as a pet owner and clean up after them and keep them under control. They even acknowledge that some dogs are couch dogs and only ask that you cover the furniture before letting them up. Very very reasonable, and our pups definitely appreciated getting to sleep on the couch just like at home. :) But even if you don't have pets, there's so much to love about this place. The shower is glorious and is stocked for you, so you don't have to bring shampoo/conditioner. The kitchen is a full kitchen and well stocked. I was able to easily find every tool I needed, and they even provided some coffee! And there was even a washer/dryer! (This was just the icing on the cake for us.) The location is perfect. We were about a ~5min drive from any errands we needed to run - Walmart, Petsmart, Wholefoods, etc. Our main attractions were breweries and hikes, and we were 10-15min from countless breweries and about half and hour from some amazing hikes. The Tucson District of Saguaro NP was right about 30min. Overall, this is for sure somewhere I would stay again if I ever come back through Tucson. Thank you to the hosts for an incredible stay!

Great property in an historic Tucson neighborhood

Decorated to reflect a mid-20th-century ranchhouse, this property is beautifully decorated and comfortable. 2 beds, 1 bath with a spacious kitchen/dining area and living room. We REALLY enjoyed the front covered porch; perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and there's plenty of distance between houses. The back of the "Ranch House" adjoins another accommodation but as long as you are hanging out in the front, you have complete privacy. There's a "common area" consisting of a table and BBQ/grill, which was a bit awkward, but we were able to use the grill nightly without bothering our neighbors too much. Suitcase racks in the rooms were a nice touch. Plenty of plugs / sockets for USB / charging cords. TVs in every room. Super WiFi. Host is extremely responsive. Off-street parking for security (in rear of property). Property is within 15 minutes of downtown Tucson, very near Randolph Sports complex (golf, tennis) . Great towels, good shower. Host provided condiments / coffee on arrival. Washer / drier worked a treat. Super stay - we'll go back if we get the chance!

Quiet, well appointed and good value

Robin is great to communicate with. When I first booked the reservation, it had to be changed due to an unforeseen issue. Robin was great and re-booked the two nights we stayed for the following week. We like the cottage because it is very quiet, and close to Banner University Medical Center. It is tastefully updated and is half the price of hotels in the same area. Thanks for everything Robin, Bob and Glenys
