We had 15 adults staying on the property, with the owner allowing two trailers to be parked with electricity which worked out great. Spacious house that was well stocked with all that was needed for a great time. The host lives next door and she was very helpful in promptly working out a few issues that came up. We had great access to the many sites in the Tuscon area to visit. We had a wonderful reunion with some great memories from our stay in the middle of the desert!

Very large house, lovely rural property w/ abundant wild life, horses, & desert plants. Living rm enormous, lots of seating. Dining rm very large. Kitchen large, set up for catering. Huge shaded patio in front & lg upstairs deck in back. Inside, several changes of floor level, many about 2”, but kitchen is two full steps down. Locking house would not be easy, and we were not given a key. Not a prob for us w/ rural location & owner living on property. At tail end of winter, pool did not appear swim ready. Would have improved our stay: brighter lighting, esp in kitchen, space for storing our own items (shelves in kitchen, surfaces in bdrms). 7 bedrooms are listed: Bdrm 1, ensuite bathrm: door to hall & door to back yd through bathrm. Bdrm 2, ensuite bathrm: door to dining rm & door to back yd. Bdrm 3 opens onto upper kitchen. Bdrm 4, ensuite bathrm: door to hall & door to front patio. Route from bed to hall goes through barrier-free shower area. Bath/hall door blocks hall if left open. (See bdrm 6 for more.) Bdrm 5, door to hall & door to front patio, sink & communicating door to bdrm 4 can be closed off. (See bdrm 6.) Bdrm 6, a loft over part of bdrm 4/bath. Access is via ladder (not quite vertical). Loft is completely open to the bdrm below, also somewhat open to kitchen. Egress from loft is via bdrm 4. Door opening to bdrm 5 blocked by ladder. Bdrm 7 has sink, access is via a set of exterior stairs. “Powder rm” (toilet/sink) in addition to the 3 ensuite bathrms.

5 brothers and sisters, our spouses & sister-in-law gathering. We are all in our 60, 70 & 80’s. This house is quite a unique home. We all had bedrooms & beds. The configuration was sometimes interesting. And, because of being repeatedly being built on to, we had to negotiate various levels with 2” steps, regular 1 or 2 steps involved. As we had two members of our party that have severe vision issues these changes in the floor were a big issue. BUT we noted and “stepped up” to the challenge. It was a beautiful setting and the house allowed us to be together and get closer as a family. Siblings get away was a success!

We’ve used VRBO for years..large, medium &small, domestic ∫ernational. This is by far the most unique. It is Nancy’s (host/owner) home, so by no means a sterile VRBO. She has a separate space when there are guests. She was most generous with the use of everything. The desert setting is amazing.The property seemed so isolated yet we were near urban conveniences (grocery store, restaurants etc). A near perfect spot for our family Christmas. Decor is a bit on the rustic/shabby chic side. Living/common space was fabulous. Plenty of room for craft area for the kids, game table, tv, etc. Kitchen is well equipped..in fact I’ve never seen so many pots&pans in one kitchen. FYI: Technically there are 7 sleeping areas. Configuration of bunkhouse area is a challenge. The loft is up a steep ladder, which is located in the middle of one bedroom & requires you to go thru that BR to access a bathrm or the rest of the house. The bathrm is an open space with toilet/sink separated by a curtain & a handheld wand shower so entire bathrm floor gets wet. The other 2 bathrms are ensuite,so you must enter a guest’s BR to use them. There is also a half bath & she opened her private bathrm. From the 7th sleeping area you go outside & down steps to a bathrm & rest of the house. The 8 &11y/o loved that space. Spacious patio with great views & a charcoal grill. Nancy was very accommodating and helpful..let me bring food a day early and found a lost kindle. Thank you for sharing your home.

We had a great time celebrating my mom's 90th birthday with family and friends. Nancy was a delight to work with. The house was great for the Thanksgiving dinner and the birthday party. The local friends could not believe we found such a great place to celebrate. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with EVERYTHING we needed for serving and meals in between the parties. We had our own refrigerator to store all of our food for the week. A great time was had by all.

Great property, included all the amenities you can think of. It was just a mile from where our horses stayed and 2 miles from our venue. We had 5 families that totaled 11 people. Inquire about the room config. The three beds in the bunk house are all open together with one bathroom. We enjoyed a dinner all together on night out on the patio that we made in the fabulous kitchen. The owner is wonderful and took great care of us. Greatly enjoyed a wood burning fire in the fireplace each night we were there! One of my favorite things!
