What a beautiful property! When we pulled in we were immediately met by the Hosts who were gracious and welcoming! The kitchen was well stocked and easy to prepare meals. The focal point of our stay was the front porch! What a Time Suck! In the morning while it's still cool(we went in July) we would have our tea and plan our day! What with the Hummingbirds flying all around and watching the rabbits and other wildlife it could take hours just to leave! Time Suck! Then in the evening, it's the sunset that does you in, because it goes on for hours! Also, this location is superb! It's not in Tucson proper, but off the beaten path

Paradise in Picture Rocks

Lou and Ozzie are fabulous hosts. They go out of their way to make your stay at, (The Bunkhouse) an amazing experience. They also give you your space on the property. Their attention to detail is spot on, as far as what they include in The Bunkhouse for your stay. The area is rural and quiet but you are not far from Marana or Tucson. I have yet to meet hosts that are as accepting as these two. 10 out of 10.

Prime location to Saguaro National Park West!

The best thing about The Bunkhouse is the location. Many different trails in the National park can be accessed within only a 4 to 14 minute drive. I think we hiked or ran them all! WE LOVED Saguaro West and were happy to see the saguaros in bloom! This mobile home was a good size for 2, with one of us using the bedroom and the other using the living room . Apparently (according to my 24 year old daughter) the pull out bed from the couch was not very comfortable, as one might expect, so I wouldn’t want to sleep on it for more than a week. The bed in the bedroom was great, though. Nice to be able to use the owner’s pool area, and to have easy parking. We never even tried turning on the tv’s. We felt very safe and welcome here. Oh, be sure to stop for groceries at the first WalMart you see after leaving the airport because shopping near The Bunkhouse is very limited. If you’re looking for a peaceful, no-frills and affordable place to stay that is near the national park… The Bunkhouse is it! P.S. No need to set a morning alarm. The goofy birds (hooded orioles?) will wake you up by frantically pecking on all your windows EVERY morning during the hour of sunrise!

Mountain Bunkhouse

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our months’ stay in Picture Rocks, near Saguaro National Park!, Sonoran Desert Museum and Old Tucson! The hosts were very welcoming and helpful during our stay, the bunkhouse came very well equipped and the owners even gave us fresh oranges from their orange trees. The property is very beautiful and well maintained, The owners have a pool behind their home (directly across from Bunkhouse) which they are happy to share, along with allowing guests to use their washer and dryer! Tucson and area is about a 20-30 minute drive. The internet is sometimes slow, but that’s to be expected up in the mountains. Overall, the setting is beautifully quiet with easy access to hiking.the mountains!

The Bunkhouse had everything we needed for our 7 day stay. Great location for getting to know the area surrounding Tucson. Nice to have an extra TV in the bedroom! Enjoyed hearing wildlife at night and having fresh oranges available!

Peaceful, cozy and cute!

Loved our time at the Bunkhouse! It is the perfect place to stay to be right by Saguaro National Park. Hiking and views are right outside the door. The porch was perfect for watching birds and bunnies. We felt right at home and appreciated the great use of space- it’s small but room enough for the two of us. We stayed at Christmas and were so happy to see a little tree complete with a wrapped gift!

Great Place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay in The Bunkhouse! We chose to stay here because of its proximity to the venue for the wedding we were attending, but if we are ever in the area again, we would stay here again. It was nice to sit on the deck and watch the hummingbirds. Great accommodations! Thank you for sharing The Bunkhouse with us!

Super Saguaro Stay

We absolutely loved the Bunkhouse. We were in Tucson for my birthday and our fabulous hosts Lou and Ozzy had a birthday card and festive cupcake waiting for me. This is a perfect getaway and we only wished we had more time there.

Enjoyable Stay at the Bunkhouse

We were in Tucson to visit our son who is serving in the Air Force. Although we visited during one of the hottest weeks in September, we knew we would be going 'home' each day to a clean, cool, and very relaxing house. The bunkhouse had everything we could possibly need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the quiet desert!

28th Anniversary

Lou & Ozzy are great folks! The Bunkhouse was perfect for our adventures. Very clean and well maintained, inside and out! Nice and quiet. Great to sit and relax on the big porch and enjoy all of the beautiful natural desert with lots of little wildlife running and scurrying about. The Bunkhouse has everything you could possily need. Even used the charcoal grill to cook our steaks! The pool was a perfect end to our days activities! We like to be off the main trail a bit, so the Bunkhouse was just right for us.
