Visitors describe this as an absolutely magical place. What separates this property from other rentals, besides the phenomenal views, is the quiet and privacy. The feel you have here is unparalleled. Most renters become repeat renters, the longest 11 years in a row). Despite being within the Ventana community, the private drive and 3.6 acre lot, and the way it's situated in the mountains, allows for a sense of a complete get-away. Other homes may be in the mountains, but don't offer the feeling of a real getaway, while actually being close enough to the action.
With views that extend to the edges of the surrounding Tucson mountain ranges and beyond you can enjoy Golf course, lake, and national park views right from the three decks and patio. If you're going through the adventure to rent a home, why not stay in a place that you'll never forget? Martha Stewart (no kidding!) visited and just loved it.
Quiet, secure, private and safe, the 3.6 acre, mountain property features 24/7 guarded, video-monitored entrance through the Lodge at Ventana Canyon and a separate, private drive with gate to the house. Full, monitored security system and ANSI-level 1&2 locks & security doors. The home has a private pool with a Helicol solar heating system. The Lodge at Ventana Canyon has extensive facilities, including a resort pool with bar, Competition-sized, heated pool, with pool house and cabanas. Golf (ranked in the top 75 in North America), Tennis (ranked in the top 50 in the world). Ask us about Spa and Dining availability and guest/member rates. This can be set-up prior to your arrival.
This is a full-time, rental property, not our residence, so it's free of clutter and personal effects. Owned by a physician, it's super clean and has bleachable towels and linens.
High-end electronics, four fast Wi-Fi 6 routers , and nice decor. Three bedrooms, one king in the master and your choice of two extra-long twin beds or king beds in the other two bedrooms. One full bath with two-person jetted-tub separate from (two person, two-head walk-in) shower. One three-quarter bath (shower, no tub), and one half-bath. Full bath connects to master bedroom, and 3/4 bath connects both to a bedroom and living room. The two showers have (head-height) windows, which open to the outside. All three toilets have bidet attachments.
Full kitchen (with extensive assortment of utensils, pots, pans, storage containers, cleaning supplies, spices, etc). RO water filtration for drinking and icemaker. 4 refrigerators total, and gas grill with outdoor dining.
Laundry room with various soaps, cleaning supplies, rags and an iron. 2.5 car garage with tools, bags and an extra refrigerator/freezer. No noisy neighbors or roads.
Attention to details and highly functional. The input from scores of past renters has taught us to furnish the home with extensive amenities. Just a few of the examples include: propane grill, 4 TVs, full home wi-fi coverage using 4 eero mesh routers with super low latency for video conferencing, fully stocked kitchen, two sets of washers/dryers, 4 refrigerators, two hot water heaters, whole home water purification and softener. Surge protector strips in each bedroom so you don't have to reach behind furniture to plug in, about six different types of pillows to fit all needs, a small table to set things on near the front door, rags, cleaning supplies, shampoo, soap, tissues, candles, dimmers on most of the lights for creating moods, tools, first aid kit, and so much more.
The house has original artwork, custom mirrors, and new, solid wood furniture.
It includes a custom, comprehensive renter's guide with instructions on the operation of the house, appliances and entertainment, room-by-room inventory list, along with information of attractions and the best dining. Rates can be negotiated if the house is within the near term (last minute availability).
Please include your contact information in your inquiry. If you would like to do a FaceTime, What's App, or Skype video call before booking, that's fine with me.

5.0 / 5.0
The house is beautiful, well-furnished, and in an excellent and very private location with abundant wildlife and birds (roadrunners!). The views of the surrounding mountains and desert from the many balconies were lovely, especially at sunrise and sunset. Wifi and entertainment options were great. Jason was an outstanding host, very responsive to questions and providing good recommendations for the area. We loved our stay, and would definitely come again. Highly recommended!
5.0 / 5.0
This is our second time visiting this incredible home. The views are unparalleled and you have the best of both worlds. Beauty of the Sonoran desert & close to any amenities. Our favorite VRBO by far! I can't imagine visiting Tucson any other way!
5.0 / 5.0
This property is spectacular, probably the 1st VRBO I've stayed in where the house was better than the listing, as the listing does not mention the spectacular views and how high in the foothills the property is. We spent hours on the 3 balconies' enjoying the beauty and serenity of the home's location. The home itself is also spectacular and very well appointed. A "must do" for anyone whom wishes to stay at Ventana Canyon (a 1st class 5 star resort, and this home made our long weekend even better than staying at the resort ever could have).
5.0 / 5.0
We have stayed at lots of rentals and this one ranks in our top five. The location was spectacular and our multi-generational group had plenty of space to enjoy our stay in Tucson. We knew we wouldn’t be hiking, so it was nice to be surrounded by the nature of the desert on the patios. The house was very well-equipped for cooking and Jason was very communicative to make sure we were comfortable. Highly recommended!
5.0 / 5.0
We loved the sunrises, sunsets, the views, cocktails and morning teas and coffees on the balconies. Watching the road runners was a hoot! It was the place to be and exactly what we needed to relax! Would love to return for another vacation!

Wonderful home in Tucson, very helpful and responsive host. Would not hesitate to recommend this property. You won't be disappointed.
5.0 / 5.0
This was one of the rare places I've stayed that not only did everything right but exceeded expectations. All the important things that every house should have for your stay were there. On top of that the house was incredible and had unbelievable views of Tucson down below as well as the natural landscape of the Arizona desert. The location is a perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. I can't imagine you'll do better than this place if you're looking to stay in Tucson. I highly recommend it.

We thoroughly enjoyed Jason's home. The views are absolutely stunning! Our host was very accessible and proactive with communication and our visit exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the quiet and peaceful location and the easy access to wonderful amenities including golf, the fitness center, and golf club restaurants. Thank you for hosting us - we hope to return soon!

We enjoyed our stay at this property very much. Highlights were the detailed guest book (it contained useful information about the house and operation of items within); excellent communication with the host; and a peaceful / private location. Thank you helping make our stay in Tucson so memorable!

My husband and I enjoyed this home. Location was great.
Jason text us to let us know we could check in early and was very responsive to text and making sure everything was good at the house.
We were up early every morning to watch sunrise on the deck while drinking our coffee and before it got too hot.
The home is beautiful and had many choices of what coffee maker to use.
We enjoyed our stay and plan to be back. 😁
5.0 / 5.0
This property is superb. My spouse and I had such a wonderful experience staying here.
The property itself is gorgeous both inside and out. (The pictures really don't capture the full beauty of it.) There are excellent views from every window when you are inside the house, and it only gets better when you are outside on one of the porches or sitting by the secluded pool. Taking advantage of the pool every evening during sunset was just magical.
Everything was in pristine condition when we arrived and the property is perfectly appointed. The furniture and decorating are both handsome and comfortable.
The location of the property is great because while you feel secluded and peaceful, it is situated near restaurants, stores, hiking, and anything else you might want.
On top of all that, the host is very friendly and was wonderful about communicating with us and making sure we arrived and enjoyed our stay.
This is one of those properties that reminds you how special renting a vacation home can be and we will definitely return in the future.

We selected this property for a family get together since one of our daughters was staying in the Tucson area. The property is exactly as described, and certainly has the feel of absolute privacy despite the fact that it is located within a gated, country club community with plenty of other beautiful homes and immaculate landscaping.
The house is beautiful, immaculately clean, with at access to 2 outdoor decks and 1 patio area that has a nice gas grill. The great room is huge and wonderful, with fantastic views of the surrounding foothills (I'd call them mountains). TV electronics are a bit confusing, but we figured it out (nice to see an Apple home - we used iPhone to screen cast services if not available on the owners various Roku accounts). Kitchen was great with plenty of space and all the dishes and other utensils you might need.
The pool and outdoor area was nice and cool and we used it every day (despite the description as a lap pool, it is actually a very nice size). This house included basically a 1-week membership to the country club, so you have access to pickle ball and tennis courts as well as the country club pool. There was no charge for any of the facilities but you might want to verify that. The facilities were practically empty - we played pickle ball every day with no issues reserving a court.
Of note, the house is about a mile away from the pool/courts and it's not an easy walk back so I would recommend driving down. Plenty of parking right there.

It is beautiful. The space is large and comfortable and the
balconies are perfect. Access to the resort pool is a great
benefit. The host does everything possible to make
the visit delightful. One of the very best VRBO's we have
ever had.

There’s a deck for every activity in this sprawling ranch. High in the Catalina Foothills is a aerie that commands views as far as you can see. Well maintained and an owner who is extremely attentive to your every need.

Beautiful, secluded location at the top of the Catalina foothills. Expansive views, outdoor terraces and comfortable living spaces.

We loved our stay at Jason's property in the foothills. My parents (in their mid 80's), my brother, sis-in-law and I all stayed for a week. We all hope to return!
The location and views were amazing, and I fell in love with the charming terracotta tile throughout the home. We all appreciated having 3 thermostat zones in the home so my parents could be warm and I could stay cool at night, for example. I stayed in the third bedroom which was light, bright, spacious and beautiful with a powder room right next door. My parents and bro/sis had ensuite bathrooms with nice showers (and one with a large tub).
We all appreciated the Lodge passes and ate several times at the Lodge which had excellent food, service and was reasonably priced. The roaring fire in the Lodge was also lovely. And, I had an amazing massage from Gayle at the spa at the Lodge and it was also very reasonably priced.
The owner Jason was communicative, kind and super responsive. We all had a lovely vacation!

The house has great views. It sits high above the Ventana Golf resort (which you have use of). The master bedroom and bath are huge. There are 2 other bedrooms (1 is ensuite). It was great that Jason provided paper towels, toilet paper, Shampoo and was in contact during the stay. During my stay, I just wished the pool was warm enough to use. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking. It's easy to get to Sabino Canyon, East Sagaruo NP and other areas for walking/hiking.

Dr Theo was very thorough with explaining all aspects of the rental process. Including check in and checkout and everything in between. Always notified us before anyone showed up to empty trash or clean the pool. The house itself was comfortable with a very large living/entertaining area.You will not be disappointed with the views of Tucson and the surrounding hills, day or night!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Tucson. The house was in a perfect location for us. It needs a little bit of attention in the area of cleanliness, but overall the house was wonderful.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was way beyond our expectations and the pictures do it no justice that’s for sure. No road noise all the while listening to the howl of the wildlife at night. We had a special guest appear one day, a desert tortoise, that wasn’t scared of us one bit. Also saw roadrunners and various hummingbirds. Such a peaceful stay!
5.0 / 5.0
We had a fabulous stay, it feels super secluded and the views are incredible! The house is perched above the city, but also super convenient to the stores, restaurants, easy drive to Sabino and not to far to the University either. The house has everything you need to cook and enjoy meals in the home. We had a great night hosting a few of my sons friends and had all the utensils, spices and kitchen appliances I needed to do that successfully. The communication with the owner was easy as well. Thanks for the great stay!

My wife, 4 kids, and myself all just got done staying at this property for a week and the pictures online don’t do it justice. From day 1 to day 6, the views remained breathtaking. My kids throughly enjoyed the pool while the wife and I spent hours taking in the city and mountain ranges from the balcony. I’d highly recommend anyone to come stay at this fantastic vacation home. You won’t be disappointed and will already by planning your next visit as you pull out of the driveway. 10/10

2nd visit was great!
Was worried the heat would be oppressive in the summer, but we all loved it better than our previous spring visit. Pool was perfect. Loved the brief monsoon rains, quite the spectacular views. Never rained for more than 15 minutes. Property owner goes out of his way to make sure everything is great.

Great getaway in the mountains
We enjoyed relaxing at the private pool, hanging out at the club pool and walking through the neighborhood. The home is close to Saquaro national park and a museum which was more like a zoo that we really enjoyed.

Welcoming home with Amazing views
Stayed at this property for my daughter’s graduation from UofA. We are from Maryland and have visited the area before but weren’t able to take in the whole experience until this stay. The home is well cared for and convenient to many shops and restaurants. We enjoyed watching the lunar eclipse from one of the many balconies/outdoor spaces. Highly recommend staying at this property. The owner was an excellent communicator which always adds ease to any stay away from home. If we are ever in the area again, we won’t hesitate staying here again!

Incredible retreat
We fell in love with this house. Within 24 hours of arriving at the property, we booked a repeat visit. The house is an older home but very well maintained, with breathtaking views of the valley and city of Tucson below. The house is a private retreat, situated high in the Catalina Mountains, and part of the Ventana Ranch resort community. As guests of the house, you receive access to the resort pools, spa, restaurant, golf course and trails- - a great perk! Jason was a friendly and involved host, who was responsive to any questions or items we needed. The only slight negative we encountered was that we booked the house purposely to have a pool, but the pool was not heated and too cold to swim in during our stay. But access to the resort pool (a short drive away) , the views and the house more than made up for it.

Fantastic Property
Our family spent Dec 19-26 at the house. This was our second stay at this Property. The location in Lowes’s Ventana Canyon Resort is fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities at the Lodge. The house is gorgeous. It was very comfortable for all six of us and we enjoyed making meals together. The kitchen was fully equipped for our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals. The views on top of the hill are outstanding, especially at night. There is a lot to do in Tucson and we enjoyed hiking, especially at the nearby Sabino Canyon. Dr. Theo was very accommodating, and we texted several times. I highly recommend a stay at Thimble View Way!
