I've been remiss in not submitting this review since my family and I stayed here in August 2021, so here goes... We came out to Tuscon to participate in the Southeast Arizona Birding Festival. Well, my wife and son mainly participated; I had to work remotely for a couple of those days. I camped myself in the front bedroom with a small desk and found it an ideal location to get work done. We couldn't have asked for a more conveniently located place to make our birding base camp! Most of the festival meet-up events were only a short drive away, as are many great dining and entertainment options. Even sitting in the courtyard provided a great birding opportunity! TBH, we mostly spent our downtime in the living room resting and watching Netflix, so know that there are plenty of good delivery options as well. There were only two drawbacks, both minor and temporary. one involved the bathtub plumbing which was quickly addressed by the property management; the other was related to road construction on the two major arteries near the house. Hopefully the construction will have been completed by the time I post this review. All in all, this is a really nice, comfortable property that's an excellent place to rest and recharge. If we ever come back to Tucson for another birding trip, this place will be first on our list!

The house & gardens are lovely, very comfortable and convenient to everywhere in Tucson. We enjoyed our breakfasts watching butterflies in the garden, walks to the UA campus, proximity of many restaurants and easy access to the highway to reach hiking and parks. The house has abundant outdoor lighting and a locking gate as well as being located in a quiet neighborhood. We felt very safe throughout our stay. Lisa is a perfect host. We had a great week and would definitely stay here again!

Such a charming home with a beautiful courtyard! Exceeded my expectations and is one of the best vacation homes I’ve stayed in. The neighborhood is so quiet and quaint and felt very safe. Near Safeway and gas station which was convenient. There is no driveway, so you park on the street, but there is plenty of space. It was very dark when we arrived at night, so have a flashlight ready. My parents stayed in the guest house but ended up hanging with us since there is no TV in that room. My teenage kids were happy with their rooms. The bed was comfortable and the house had everything we needed. We would all stay again!

What a great place to stay! The back yard is beautiful and very relaxing in the sun. Lisa was so nice to drop off a French Press. Thanks for the awesome weekend.

We could not have been more pleased (location, comfortable furnishings, and excellent water pressure). This house and outdoor space was just what we needed for 3 boys between 16-19 yr and two parents. We enjoyed our bedrooms, the open kitchen/tv area, and patio/garden areas. Parking was so easy. We thought it was great that we could walk to campus for the basketball game.

Live in Phoenix area. For years we have always stayed at Loews Ventana, and although they advertise as being pet friendly, our recent experiences with them have been anything but that. In addition to being as great for our bow-wow's, we enjoyed everything about this house and its location in an historic central area of Tucson and it's closeness to our favorite restaurants in Tucson.. Besides being very beautifully renovated inside, the yard was beautifully done, enjoyed just sitting outside with a glass of wine. Only negatives I have are petty. It's the only VRBO or Airbnb place so far that did not provide coffee or have a bottle of wine and some food goodies for you on your arrival, but like I noted, these are petty and am looking forward to booking there again when we come to Tucson. Would recommend this place to anyone, Terry & Sue Solomon

Loved the University house. It was very clean and well maintained and stocked. Great central location. Parking was on street only but looked and felt like a safe neighborhood. Nice Spanish style home with all the comforts needed. There is also a guest house should you have another party traveling with you and only require a studio. It was very nice inside. Lisa was very responsive to any questions and concerns we had. Home has a nice outdoor patio to relax and have coffee, wine and enjoy the back yard landscaping. Will definitely stay here again if available . Thank you again Lisa for allowing us to enjou your home . Joe & Kathy(DENVER )

The home was clean, well appointed, and in the perfect location for any activities at the UofA. The owner is also very responsive.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the University House. The house is comfortable and very cute. We especially enjoyed the very private yard. The house is in the middle of the city but you wouldn't know it while enjoying outdoor time. We loved the landscaping and variety of plants and shrubs in the yard. Lisa was very accommodating and always available while respecting our privacy. I hope we will have the opportunity to stay again.

Perfect place for our family. Great location near U of A and downtown. The house is bigger than it shows in the pictures and landscaped patio was fantastic. All the amenities we needed were included. The use of the guest house was an added bonus for our nanny.

Two friends and I stayed here for a week in mid-November to do some road cycling. The house is in an excellent location close to the University, many good restaurants and centrally located to lots of good cycling routes. The house itself was spotlessly clean, well-appointed, well-equipped kitchen, speedy WiFi and very comfortable. The courtyard patio was great for breakfast and post-ride re-fueling. Lisa, the owner, was very friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. We’ve stayed in a number of VRBO’s in the Tucson area, and this is one the best if not THE best! Thanks again to Lisa; I look forward to staying here again!!!

My girl friends and I stayed for UA homecoming weekend and this house was perfect for us! Lisa is super accommodating and wonderful to work with! We would definitely stay here again!

Stayed at this property for twelve days in August, so the most important part of the review may be how well the air conditioning worked!!! Great location to stay when attending University of Arizona events. A real 'home away from home' with all the amenities. Quiet neighborhood. Owner is very thorough with communication.

This is a lovely older home in the Sam Hughes area just west of Campbell. It's spacious and comfortable and has everything you need. The back has a covered patio and it's fenced if you have a dog, but it's desert landscaping. The house has kept its original character despite some updating. The living/dining/kitchen part of the home is especially roomy and there's a desk in the sunroom (it has a sunroom!) if you need one. The TV is nice and accommodates Netflix -- a big plus for me. The wifi works fine. The A/C unit struggled while I was there but that was in an unusually hot week in the summer. Even then it cooled down enough to sleep at night comfortably with the ceiling fan on. With a little more updating inside and out this place would rate a 5. It's a bargain in terms of size and comfort, and I would stay there again.

We loved this place and would recommend it to everyone.

This house has a really nice yard and a lovely kitchen. It was very comfortable and charming. The only possible negative is that it was super hot the weekend we were there (111) and the air conditioner struggled a bit, but it was still very nice.

The University House exceeded our expectations in so many ways! Lisa keeps the property in amazing condition. We had every comfort of home. The location was perfect for us as we were attending our daughter's graduation at UA and were able to easily walk to the stadium. The patio was charming and inviting and since the weather cooperated we were able to enjoy it while sitting outside watching the playful birds and geckos. Lisa was even thoughtful enough to leave us a beautiful card and bottle of wine to help us celebrate! Thank you for sharing your home and when we are ever in Tucson again we will certainly stay here.

Our group of five stayed very comfortably for two nights in the University House. The property is quiet, well-maintained and the location is perfect. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy and experience Tucson.
