About this house rental
[COVID Update - the house is away from it all, so is a wonderful place to be, you don't have to see anybody face-to-face, so social distancing is easy. We have an enhanced refund policy, beyond the standard VRBO system's. If you purchase travel insurance, it’s utilized, and we are paid for the rental, we will reimburse you for the policy cost, even if you cancel the trip right before your stay]
4,400 Sq. Ft of remodeled luxury on a private, hilltop 5-acre parcel. Private road that dead-ends up at the house. Pictures don't do it justice. The magical feeling you have on the property is hard to describe. We have renters who keep coming back, year after year.
Smoke-Free, Pet Free. Minimum length of stay 7 days. Ask us about guest memberships for Ventana Canyon Golf and Tennis, Spa, Fitness, Pool and Dining. No kids (below age 16) are allowed up at the home, even for a visit, since the deck railings are not child-proof.
About 80% of the people who have rented this home come back for return visits, a good indication of its quality and magnificence. About half of the rental parties are just a couple (2 people), though there's obviously plenty of room for 4-6 people.
We have another property at vrbo.com/358276 that's been rented for a while, it has over 140, five-star reviews. From that, you can get an idea of how well we treat our guests.
Visitors describe this as an absolutely magical place. What separates this property from other homes, besides the phenomenal views, is the quiet and privacy. The private drive dead-ends to the 5-acre lot, and the way it's situated in the mountains, allows for a feeling of a complete get-away. Other homes may be in the mountains, but often have neighbors and roads so close that you hear cars, dogs barking, landscapers, etc. This property is adjacent to the Sabino Canyon National Park, a place with miles of hikes and walks. The property is high enough to see over the Tucson mountains to the west, and about 60 miles into the mountains in Mexico!
The furnishings and finishes are high-end. Natural clay walls, Solid wood furniture, leather chairs, $6,000 heated, Japanese bidet Toto Neorest toilets, custom mirrors and artwork. Custom quartz countertops throughout.
Full, monitored security system and ANSI-level 1&2 locks & security doors. Ask us about short-term memberships for the nationally acclaimed resort - The Lodge at Ventana Canyon. This resort has a full exercise facility, a 365/7 heated resort pool, a full sized lap pool, pool house with lockers/showers/towels, and cabanas. Golf (ranked in the top 75 in North America), Tennis (ranked in the top 50 in the world), Spa and Dining available at Owner's guest member rates (discounted) for up to 7 days during your stay. This is set-up prior to your arrival. It's perfect for golfers, who can save a substantial amount on clubs and green fees using our membership.
The home is equipped 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.

Loved the views! We enjoyed watching the sun rise and set every day. The property is quiet and feels a world away from the city and yet restaurants, groceries, etc. are just a few minutes away. It's a short walk to the trailheads in Sabino Canyon, so if you like to hike, it's in an ideal location. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped. We have nothing but good things to say!

Awe Inspiring Desert Home
The property is beautiful with such a marvelous view! The home is so inviting that you will rarely want to venture forth into the city below. The owner, facilities, and experience are all top notch. We could go on and on, but you must experience it for yourself to fully realize it's beauty etc.

Beautiful home and view next to Sabino Rec Area!
This was our third stay with Jason the host and again he was wonderful as always. The house is beautiful and situated up on our side of the mountain next to Sabino recreation area. The area cannot be nicer and it is always a great pleasure to stay there.
The host is excellent and responds immediately to questions or concerns.
The neighborhood is wonderful and we hope to return for years to come!
Thanks again for an awesome stay Jason!

Epic Desert Views and Sunsets
Impeccable property, with custom wood work inside through out the house. This property was a treat to stay at in terms of privacy, unprecedented views of the Sabino Canyon (and the city light views and night) and still within 15-20 min of anything. Jason, the homeowner, was very responsive to any questions we had and is a gentleman. The rooms are very spacious and this house had everything and more for us to relax and enjoy our stay. Thank you, it was a pleasure!

Amazing Christmas family vacation
Our host was incredible in responsiveness and clarity in using his exceptional property. We love to hike and could walk to the Sabino canyon trails which were right out our back door. The mountain and city views are spectacular and so much that we chose to use the very well stocked kitchen every night and take in the sunsets. Thank you for helping us make incredible memories

PERFECTION
This is a beautiful home loaded with amenities and the most magnificent view with incomparable sunsets. You feel as though you have wonderful privacy yet are only minutes from any activity you might enjoy. Just about everything you could need was provided by the host. The bidets were an added bonus. Jason is a marvelous host who responds to any correspondence immediately and leaves very clear instructions for operating anything. This has been the third VRBO property we rented in the past year and by far the absolute best. When a vacation to Tucson is back on the agenda I would definitely rent this property again. Thank you Jason for making our trip wonderful with lovely memories.

Great house for a family reunion. Especially for those that keep active. A three minute drive to the spectacular Sabino State Park for hiking, sightseeing, etc., made it a perfect spot for us.

The home was extremely clean and fully furnished with easy to follow instructions provided for all electronic equipment.

Panoramic Views
Arrived in Tucson to celebrate my daughter’s graduation! The house is breathtaking. The wrap around porch hosted many glasses of wine and morning cups of coffee while taking in the amazing views.
Jason was extremely easy to work with and on top of any of our needs.
I have never rented a home with a better stocked kitchen... every single thing that is needed for someone who enjoys cooking.
This was just the perfect home for our small family celebration!

Peaceful, relaxing, the most beautiful spot in Tucson
We stay in Tucson every year. This house was just perfect. So private yet close to everything. You are literally neighbors with Sabino State park, all the hiking you could ever want. The house was very CLEAN. There is plenty of pots, pans, utensils, dishes, everything you need for kitchen. Excellent for entertaining very open floor plan. All the beds were very comfy. We just fell in love with the house and the area. We will definitely be back again. Thank you for the use of your beautiful house.

Owner was great to work with. Communicated very well before and during our stay. We had 3 couples and house was plenty big with lots of areas to sit. Great location in the foothills offers views of sunsets and sunrises and the city at night. We cooked most nights and kitchen stocked well enough with pots, pans, and utensils to work well. Bedrooms and bathrooms comfortable and clean. Thanks for the great stay! We hope to return next year.

COVID Getaway
Perfect house for a social-distancing meetup with friends. The place is large, so we were always able to keep a safe distance apart. Owner was sensitive to our desire to keep contact with others to a minimum. A/C was great on the hot July days, quiet and consistent. We loved the panoramic views!

We had a great visit to Tucson. The house was amazing and the 360 degree views were spetacular. A wonderful spot to watch the colorful sunsets. We even had a javelina spotting from the back porch!

thanksgiving 2019
The house is beautiful and well appointed. The space was perfect for a multi generational family. The kitchen was perfect for cooking the thanksgiving meal and there was plenty of space for games and movie viewing!! I must admit that we were confused as to why there are not more beds, with all of the extra and empty rooms that the house has. I would have been really nice if the adults didn't have to share beds.
Likewise, the views are incredible, and the property expansive, but we were disappointed that there are no outdoor spaces; patios, eating areas, fire pits and very little and old and tired outdoor furniture. It wouldn't take very much effort to turn this nice property into a hidden gem!!

A terrific winter vacation!
We were fortunate to be in Tucson during two of the best weather months we have had over the last three years. Of course, the home is perfect for us. The view cannot be beat. The home is so well supplied with everything we need. The owner is on top of every need or concern. We are looking forward to coming back next year!

We had a lovely and relaxing vacation in this amazing Tucson home. Glorious views, every amenity thoughtfully provided. Quite and private. Room to spread out for personal space and large entertaining areas when everyone wants to get back together. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful house with amazing views , access to state-of-the art gym and pool and outdoor activities
There was easy access to all that my husband and I enjoy. We could cycle in Sabino Canyon and Saguaro National Park, swim in a 25m pool and workout at the Ventana Heath Club , run in the neighborhood and run and hike in Sabino Canyon . We could not have chosen a better place.
The house was immaculate, the views of Tucson and the surrounding mountains were truly amazing both in the morning and at night. While you feel so secluded, there is easy access to shopping and downtown.

Amazing Setting with Outstanding Mountain, Desert and City Views
Our Winter vacation in Tucson was delightful because of our stay here. The description is very accurate-it is an amazing place. My husband was recovering from a bout of pneumonia so needed to rest and relax. This was the perfect setting! The house is well supplied with everything from kitchen utensils to post-its, pens, pencils and tape. Shopping and exceptional restaurants are about 2-3 miles away, so a car is definitely necessary. We appreciated the guest membership at the Golf and Racquet Club and even extended it with a seasonal membership which was a terrific addition for our guests. The owner and property manager were very helpful and friendly. We hope to stay here again next year.

Sabino Canyon Heaven
Excellent experience, highly recommended! We loved the location in the foothills of Catalina Mountains 1 mile from the Sabino Canyon Recreation area. The views of the city and mountains were incredible. The house is set up well and Jason knows how to operate a rental and does it well. Everything you need is there. The house is incredibly livable. Huge kitchen, great room with comfortable furniture, theater area off the living room, large office, all set up very well. The house is very private at the end of the road up the mountain. Elderly can't walk to the house, the hill is too steep to get up but there is room to park at the bottom of the driveway if you want to walk from the house. No pool or hot tub, but Ventana Canyon offers monthly memberships and they're putting in a new second pool plus have excellent workout facility. Great restaurants, golf courses and shopping nearby. You won't be disappointed!

Sabino Canyon Perfection
I typically stay in several, upper end VRBO homes a year and have done so for many years. This house ranks as one of my favorites. From fast internet and wireless printer to touch faucets and automatic toilets, this house is loaded with modern convenience features. It's equipped with a built-in, whole home entertainment system with remote control. Waking up and sitting down with a fresh cup of coffee and listening to some soft music while the sun rose between the mountain peaks was incredible. Just as enjoyable was watching the sun set while sitting out on the expansive deck. The house is situated perfectly so that the wall of windows on the southeast and southwest sides of the house give amazing views of the sunrise and sunset. The showers and bathrooms were wonderful. The kitchen was very well equipped with soft close cabinets, two coffee makers (Keurig and fresh ground), toaster oven, large refrigerator, and tons of counter space. The furniture in the TV room was very comfortable and made watching the giant flat screen TV a pleasure. The bed was very comfortable with a variety of pillows. The property itself offers great privacy, which is hard to come by in the area. The location is extremely convenient. Restaurants, food shopping, hiking, and other activities were just minutes away. I would HIGHLY recommend this VRBO for anyone traveling to the area.
