Provided a nice and cozy space for a weekend getaway, didn't have any problems, the pool and jacuzzi were a major plus, definitely would stay again, soon!
Comfortable place to stay. There was one hiccup with the owners dog but it was solved relatively quickly. The owners do stay in the attached house which would have been nice to know. Also, you have to ask them to turn on the hot tub and let them know when your done to turn it off which is fine but you feel kind of guilty if itâs late or early in morning. The beds were comfortable. Cleanliness could have been better, there was hair on the ceiling above the above the shower and the floor has not been scrubbed in a while. My white socks turned brown from walking around in inside and itâs a dusty bunny hotel under the king bed. The neighborhood is nice and safe and overall is good place to stay. Just probably wouldnât stay here again.
We had a very nice stay. The rental was clean, comfortable, and felt like a home away from home. It was spacious, had a full kitchen, and the location made it easy to get groceries and find good places to eat nearby. The property manager was welcoming and quick to respond, which made things easy. Weâd definitely consider staying here again.
We had a short window for a trip & decided to check out Oro Valley. The place was the perfect size for the us, a cute cozy space where we enjoyed relaxing. Ami was great, & we followed her suggestion of visiting Catalina State Park where we enjoyed beautiful hiking trails. We had a wonderful time.
Place was perfect for the two of us. Bed very comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Nice neighborhood for walking. Beautiful sunsets from front of apt.
Wonderful location backing right up to the Catalina Mountains. Simple but perfectly functional facilities. Our host Ami was friendly, warm and very easy to reach. A backyard flock of layer chickens gave us a breakfast of the freshest eggs imaginable.
Ami made sure our stay was comfortable, and all our needs met. She quickly responded to any texts and, as she lives and works in the main house, she was usually there to take care of any requests. The casita is attached to the main house but excellent soundproofing negated any noise from either side. The bedroom was large with a large TV, bedside tables on both sides, and walk-in closet. The attached bathroom offered plenty of counter space. We stayed a month and were pleased that the kitchen had amble counter space for our bread-making machine and large Berkey water filter. The spacious living room had enough clear space for our exercise mat. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed many evening hot-tub dips which gazting at the stars. We plan to return next year for another month-long stay.
The guest house was perfect for my wife and our dog for our one week stay. Well appointed, had everything we needed. Nice little fenced in area to lounge outside with the dog and great views. Loved the location, pretty secluded but close to everything on Oracle. Will stay again.
We were in town for a swim meet! This place had enough room for my boys to rest and relax in between sessions! The view was awesome. Communication with Ami was fantastic as well. We hope to stay again when we go back to Oro valley!
Tucked away next to the mountain. Fully stocked with condiments, coffee, tea. Convenient to Oro Valley Hospital where I was visiting my husband who was a patient there.
The stay was awesome and perfect for what we were looking for! We did a temporary stay for over a week and it was close by many restaurants, gas station, grocery stores like Trader Joeâs! Our dogs, kids, and adults had a great stay! It was quiet and we got to see chickens every morning which was a plus. Ami was very communicative and gave us access to her pool and yard if we needed!
When I saw the photos online, I was given the impression we were staying at a house with a fenced-in backyard with a pool. Not quite. We were in an attached apartment to said house, which was occupied by no less than three adults and two large, less-than-friendly dogs at the time; there would be no use of the pool or yard. Being from Phoenix, I expected the house to have central air. Nope. There were three very loud wall-mounted cooling units, which really didn't keep the rental uniformly cool. This is a pet-friendly rental, so I was concerned when I noticed the carpet when we arrived. It smelled like bleach when we arrived, but by the next day, that smell had been replaced by a dirty animal funk. This prevented us from sleeping in the front room when we discovered the king-size bed in the only bedroom was as hard as a rock, and neither of us slept at all the first night. Also, the maximum number of people this could sleep would be five unless you have a third person in the bed or someone sleeps on couch cushions on the floor. As it is there is only a king-sized bed and a twin bed, but there are couches. The area was very convenient for our needs, but we were miserable the whole time.
2nd visit! Awesome scenery & location. Pool was wonderful on hot days for both human and dogs. Had everything I needed... from kitchen to bathroom necessities. And did I say the location was perfection? 1 hour to Madera Canyon, 30 minutes to zoo, 20 minutes to Sonoran museum, 7 minutes to Tohono Chul Desert Botanical Gardens and 12 minutes to Catalina State Park. Lots of restaurants with a myriad of cuisine nearby. Perfect dog friendly get-a-way!
Doggie Haven!! Great location: close to stores, Tucson City proper, Zoo, Catalina State Park, Sabina Canyon, Tounono Desert Botanical Gardens and much more -- Madera Canyon, etc. only an hour or so away. Then after hiking, sight seeing or shopping bring dinner "home" or grill on the property and relax with a swim in the pool!! My dogs are "howling" to go back already!!
The property had all the things we needed to do our whirlwind trip to Tucson area. Including the right number of beds for our group. The washer/dryer came in handy too when we needed to clean a couple of things during our stay! Great Location for exploring Oro Valley and Catalina State Park. Absolutely gorgeous views and the owners Dogs were so sweet!
Convenient to have a pool on property available for use, with our dog allowed pool-side. Note, the hot tub required advance communication to warm up- we only used once.
Note, the washer/drier is an all-in-one (I'm not familiar with those), and had better luck air drying clothing vs. using the drying function.
Ami was available for anything we would have needed, but didn't need to contact too much!
