About this house rental
This renovated, historic adobe home is in the heart of Tucson's Blenman-Elm Historic neighborhood, just minutes from the University of Arizona and downtown. Landscaped in classic desert style by a regionally known landscape architect and accompanied by views of Mt. Lemmon to the north, enjoy the Southwest scenery with your morning coffee on the front patio, or kick it out back, where you'll find a fully-stocked wood fire pit and charcoal grill, and plenty of space to unwind in nature.
Escape the heat and hang out in the game room, complete with a foosball table, full-service bar and retro-stereo sound system. High-speed Internet, TV, basic cable, Apple TV and surround sound stereo make the living room great for watching your favorite movie or show. A fully-equipped kitchen with updated appliances will bring out your inner chef while you enjoy your visit to the Old Pueblo.
One bedroom has a California-King bed, the second has a Queen-sized bed and the pull-out couch in the breakfast nook can accommodate more guests. A spacious bathroom with a bathtub and ample skylights provides all you need for your comfort. Towels and linens provided. Stays longer than a week will receive optional cleaning services weekly for an extra fee and we provide some beer and wine to welcome you. Tohono O'odham House, named in honor of the indigenous peoples of the region who've made the Tucson desert their home for thousands of years, providing a vibrant artistic culture, reflected in the interior decoration and design.
Tucson has an astonishingly rich foodie culture, focused on quality, freshness and locally-sourced ingredients. An updated list of the best of Tucson cuisine is provided for guests upon arrival, sometimes with discounts or special offers.

When we were moving in our college freshman to U of A, we wanted a little more space than a hotel room to unwind. This property could not have been more perfect for our brief stay. It was very close to U of A, easy to find, close to shopping centers and restaurants, etc. Every amenity has been thoughtfully laid out including eggs and toast for your morning breakfast! Amazing. We will definitely be telling our family about this getaway!

It is a wonderful little house that is well taken care of. The enclosed backyard is a treasure. My son and I watched hummingbirds and hawks each morning and evening. We played on the foosball table, so fun. There a bunch of games to play as well. Close to everything.

We visited Tucson for my daughter’s graduation. The house was conveniently located less than 10 minutes from Campus. The restaurants around the area were great and the house is located in a lovely street.
The host Kevin, is extremely communicative and responds immediately. The house has more amenities than listed, including a hairdryer, games and a vanity mirror.
The house itself is spotless, and beautifully furnished.
The backyard is huge and I sat out each morning with my coffee under the shade of his tree. Would highly recommend

Tohono O’Odham was the perfect place to spend our vacation. Everything about it was special. The house was spotless. The location was quiet. It was near everything. The appliances were up to date. Really liked the yard and the location.

The owner sent me a welcome message before visiting which made me feel very welcomed! We really liked the decor, yard, convenient plug ins by the bed, light over the bed, kitchen, great coffee, fun foosball table, record player, bar area, cleanliness, location to college, restaurant suggestions. Plenty of towels and washcloths. Eggs in the fridge! Automatic garbage that opened when you walked towards it! Comfy beds. Closet has a lot of hooks. Fire pit. Set up for corn tortillas with recipe on kitchen wall and there were ingredients for tortillas and tortilla press(didn’t have time to try but the idea was great! The host was responsive to questions.

Lovely quiet, pleasant neighborhood. Comfy house. Great central location. Kevin was very proactive with sending us all the info we needed in advance and responded quickly when we had a question. Well stocked home with everything we needed. We only regret not having a chance to use the fire pit or fix homemade tortillas.

This house couldn't have been more perfect for our stay. We extended our lengthy camping fun in the general area, and it was great to have a peaceful sticks-and-bricks home base for a week or so. The home has every imaginable accessory, cooking gadget, and refreshment, with a contemporary full kitchen. It was spotless, warm and welcoming, including the relaxing landscaped back yard with firepit, plenty of wood, grill and comfy chairs. We even had evening entertainment thanks to a gang of javalinas checking out the neighborhood! The owner responded promptly in a friendly manner to a few questions and provided clear and helpful info in advance of check-in. We would definitely stay here again!

A cozy adobe with a beautiful backyard, located in a quiet, pretty neighborhood. The house was clean and thoughtfully stocked. We had great communication with the very helpful owner. We rented the house together with a friend, and the long hallway between the two bedrooms provided privacy for all of us. We hope to return!

We really enjoyed this rental. It had everything you need in a vacation rental and was well thought out. Location was perfect, centrally located in town making it easy to get around. We're planning to stay here again next year.

This property had everything promised, was extremely comfortable and hospitable. The only (very small) thing missing was a hair dryer. The locale was a quiet neighbourhood full of gorgeous bungalows. An easy Uber to downtown.
