Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Trade the hustle and bustle of life for an unforgettable Arizona escape. Located in the 19th-century historic Fort Lowel District, this home offers charm and sophistication. For local adventure, enjoy the 40-acre Fort Lowell Park, noted as a primary U.S. birding location with over 200 bird species. Nearby, you'll have direct access to The Loop - a multi-use paved path spanning over 131 miles - the longest in the U.S. - featuring mountain views, parks, and trails. Other conveniences include the Tucson Medical Center, only one mile away, as well as Costco, Target, and Whole Foods. Visit Sabino Canyon Recreation Area within two miles or the Trail Dust Town or Tucson Botanical Gardens, which are both within 10. You'll also be roughly 12 miles from Mount Lemon, a historic wedding-friendly chapel nearby, and additional shopping and restaurants.
Step back in time in this custom home that touts Victorian and antique touches. Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior and a feeling of welcome throughout the house. Relax and make yourself at home by resting on the plush furniture, streaming your favorite movies on the large TV, or sharing a home-cooked meal over the lovely dining table. Hobby chefs will love creating culinary charms in the updated kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the cupboard room you'll ever need. Witness spectacular sunsets while you barbecue and sip your favorite beverage on the meticulously landscaped back patio.
Make memories that'll last a lifetime when you spend your time here in beautiful Tucson.

Great property and hosts.

This stay was our third year in Tucson and we found our “home away from home”! We loved so much staying at this outstanding property for nearly 2 months and have already booked time for next year!
The surrounding area was both private and quiet with friendly neighbors, yet near a park so we could walk the dog. The home was wonderfully laid out and each room had extraordinary details with fine craftsmanship and interesting presentations. The living room, dining area, and kitchen were spacious with high ceilings, very comfortable furniture and a well furnished kitchen. The 3 bedrooms were also spacious with very comfortable beds, ample closet area, and interesting furnishings. The bedrooms were separated from the living/dining/kitchen area so early morning coffee or staying up late didn’t bother those sleeping in or retiring early.
We enjoyed being outdoors and regularly spent time on the two cleverly set up outdoor patios for relaxing and grilling. We also appreciated being able to keep our new car in garage and using the garage door openers.
Lastly, our hosts lived nearby and we enjoyed getting to know them! We appreciated them sharing with us some of their favorite local restaurants and their attentiveness to making our time at the Old Guardhouse so memorable!

Nice house and patio. Big park nearby with access to multi use plan along the “river.”
The kitchen could benefit from a couple more things but otherwise was serviceable.
A little weird not to be able to flush your TP (thanks to elderly plumbing) but the bins did a good job containing the smell.

Well equipped lichen, beautiful outdoor space, walk to park or bicycle the Loop. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood.

The house was perfect in every way. Beautiful interior in a Victorian style. Great outdoor garden area for enjoying the sun. Adjacent to a park for walking the dogs - they loved it. Well equipped kitchen and bbq with everything you need for cooking. Location on a private road was quiet and secure. Close to groceries and a generally central location that was convenient to area attractions - most within about 20 or so minutes. When I come to Tuscon again, I will definitely stay here.

Tucked into a quiet, but well connected, neighborhood, it was perfect for a get away. We could easily see ourselves staying more than a week! The local contacts are friendly and informative, the signage inside is super helpful, the house and ground as well kept and very cozy.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Historic Guard House. It was exactly as advertised both inside and out. The home was tastefully decorated with antiques and art. Outside were multiple sitting areas with beautiful plantings and hummingbirds. We would stay there again if in the area.

Wonderful home with a lot of character. An antique decor but still very comfortable.

Truly a remarkable property. The photos are beautiful but you would have to see it yourself to appreciate it. A period home with all of the modern conveniences.
4.0
This is an extremely well appointed and clean venue. So much attention is paid to details in decor throughout the home. You feel as if you are in a museum, but with the luxury of modern conveniences. I would highly recommend this property. It is very convenient to many Tucson attractions.
5.0
This was a quick trip. The place was overall lovely, very comfortable and in a peaceful setting with everything you need within a short drive away. Three weeks prior to arrival I asked if an air mattress was available, to my knowledge I did not receive a response. Thankfully local family members lent us theirs. I’d book again and highly recommend this place.
