The Glass Cottage is a lovely guest house in a stunning setting. With classic MCM pieces and restrained but interesting art to complement its unique architecture, the design was beautiful and still functional. The property manager made everything easy and welcoming. It was great to spend a day at the Saguro National Park, and then come back and be able to cook dinner at the cottage’s well stocked kitchen.

Within 2 hours of our arrrival, we saw a coyote in the driveway and 2 bobcats visited us right off the back deck! The location is quiet and easy access to Saquaro National Park and plenty of restaurants are close by too. We really enjoyed our stay.

Loved being amongst the Saguaro and enjoying the sunset and the sunrise from inside our cozy glass house. The location was great for our visits to the National Parks and Sabino Canyon. We also enjoyed our little walk between the two living areas and the feeling of showering outdoors. Thanks for sharing!

I once thought that it might be unwise to attempt to relive a treasured memory, such as that which I had gained the first time I stayed in this architectural masterpiece. Would it ever live up to its rose-colored glasses tint? I have been disabused of that notion for good— I appreciated the uniqueness of this transparent foothold nestled in the saguaro forest even more this time around. One of the best architectural experiences I have ever had. Thanks so much for sharing it Jim!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights at the glass cottage sitting on around 3 acres of desert landscape with saguaro cacti, mesquite trees, and teddy bear cholla cacti. Nice to hear coyotes on several mornings. The cottage is very unique and allows for “inside “ views of the surrounding desert, sunrises and sunsets. It is conveniently located to Saguaro National Park-West and the fabulous Desert Museum which must be visited. Attention to detail in design and decor was evident! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Very much enjoyed the property.

We hesitate to leave a glowing review and risk the place becoming too popular but we can’t hold back. The house is spectacular and completely comfortable. We loved the design and local art. Don’t forget the scenery! Convenient location for visit Saguaro and shopping but feels like your in the middle of the desert. Sunrise the sunset the view is perfect. We will be back…and we can hardly wait

Better than the expectations. The privacy was perfect. The bed was very comfortable- and that is most important. Well appointed all around.

If anything the property description and all of the positive feedback in the reviews understates how magical this place is! Incomparable sunrise and sunset experiences, the calming reflective quiet of the desert, the diversity of plants and wildlife, and the privacy and completeness of the Glass Cottage combine to make a very unique vacation experience. Everything worked as described and the local property manager was helpful and attentive but not intrusive. Our stay with the Curve-billed Thrashers and and Coyotes was wonderful and we will be recommending the adventure to all of our friends!!!!

Dynamite rental, quiet, clean, well stocked, we'll be back.

This property is just as beautiful and peaceful as it looks in the photos. Has all the comforts and necessities you’d need. The caretaker ensured I had what I needed at check-in and helped explain the nuances of the property. Couldn’t recommend more!

Absolutely stunning home and property. Perfectly tucked away, quiet and peaceful, yet close to everything you could need. I cannot wait to return to Tucson just to stay on this property again, and will recommend it to anyone I know visiting Arizona. Communication was easy and the property manager was amazingly helpful as someone new to the area.

Everything was amazing. We were surrounded by beauty, inside and out. The property manager was more than helpful. Our only problem was we didn’t want to leave! Thank you James for allowing us to share your marvelous home.

I highly recommend staying at the glass cottage. Very unique building with amazing views. It was out of town far enough to feel secluded but close enough to stores and restaurants to conveniently get what you need. We had a minor issue that we needed to contact management for. She was very prompt about dealing with it and nice to speak with. The only downside to this place, It didn't feel 100% private like listed. If you are super modest, you may not find it comfortable. Neighbors can see into the bedroom area if they really wanted to, and there are no blinds or currents.. They would have to be trying to though. Over all this place was amazing. Sunrises and Sunsets while being surrounded by large cactus was great!

This was a wonderful experience. The property is beautiful. Loved seeing the sunrise and sunsets daily! The owner was very responsive. Can’t wait to come back again!

If you know the song Peaceful Easy Feeling by The Eagles, then you will appreciate and understand what it's like staying in this beautiful glass cottage. In the morning the sunrise over the mountains bathes you in the warmest light, while the sunsets take your breath away as you prepare dinner and relax with cool drink. At night, there is not a more romantic place to be as the moonlight sets the desert aglow beneath the star filled sky. Our stay has us thinking of another excuse to return for a longer visit to Tucson.

We had absolutely wonderful weekend at this spectacular house. The sunrises were amazing. It was just as it described. We did a little cooking and the kitchen is appropriately stocked.

Fabulous and magical stay in the glass cottage - the views were amazing. Well-stocked kitchen and convenient location.

A special place to stay in a desert environment. Enjoyed waking up to the sunrise in the bedroom and seeing the sunsets from the dining room. The house was well equipped - nothing lacking in the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry. Local walking was beautiful. Lots of wildlife. Quality blinds would help sunshine glare. House manual was helpful.

Jim's place was just amazing. The building was beautiful and the amenities were all perfect. My partner and i spent a wonderful weekend!

Enjoyed our stay at the glass cottage. It doesn’t get any better than this house. Thank you!

Wow, what a cool property. We enjoyed staying here for four nights. It is an amazing home and a good location.

It was a unique experience staying in the glass house. I truly appreciated it’s architectural beauty and large floor to ceiling windows in the bedroom and living space. The views afforded by the windows were gorgeous. The house is one with the desert.

Rented the glass house for a second time. It’s such a nice experience to feel like you’re outside the whole time. Enjoy the area for hiking.

Very comfortable stay for Christmas and New Years. Every bit as architecturally stunning as the photos and everything works and is well equipped. Quiet neighborhood and very attractive desert landscape. Occasional wildlife wondering by. Wifi could use an upgrade as there are newer options but it worked fine for streaming audio for us. Smooth checkin and departure.

Tout s’est très bien déroulé du début à la fin. Un endroit magnifique pour relaxer et apprécier le paysage sublime

What keeps this from 5-stars: - No TV!!! WHY??? (a $150 32-inch TV would enable guests to watch the morning news or evening movies via their cell data/phone with HDMI to the TV; why deny this to guests???) - Kitchen side needs shades; unlivable from 3pm to sunset - Shower head doesn't adjust; just a stinging setting - Too many "dad" instructions: squeegee the shower, take out the trash; put away the dishes (impossible with >1 hr dishwasher and 10am checkout) --> You have a cleaning service coming in right at 10. Again, the location/views almost make-up for the short-comings.

Cool and unique property!

This property is far and away our favorite place to stay! It’s completely original in it’s design and location! A true sanctuary!

The glass cottage was just what we needed. Peaceful and secluded. The sunsets were amazing and we had the perfect spot.

The experience of being so Inter mingled with the desert really enhanced this stay. We loved it and doubt that you could find this experience anywhere else. The house had everything we needed!!!! Thanks for a great time!!!!

So thankful to have stayed here for my sisters wedding! It made the desert stay that much more enjoyable thank you so much James!
