Communication with Erin was easy and direct, the house was spotless with modern amenities. Western Moon is a wonderfully airy space with a sparkling clean pool and a real fireplace, which we enjoyed every evening. It has a modern touch but the sky lights give it a distinctly Southwestern touch. I would have stayed on readily.

The location was ideal - we walked to U of A a couple times plus easy to get around town. Mix of good restaurants and grocery store nearby and coffee shop one block away!Loved the house design and mid century southwest vibe. Comfy beds, great shower rooms and pool was refreshing!

Relax in comfort

My spouse and I needed to get out of the frozen Midwest and relax somewhere warm. So glad we chose to visit Tucson and stay in this clean and lovely house. We enjoyed afternoons by the well-maintained pool, reading and watching TV in the comfortable livingroom, and sleeping comfortably in the quiet bedroom. The bathrooms are very up to date and lovely. The kitchen had everything we needed from coffee in the morning to steak on the grill in the evening. All appliances are very new, and we appreciated the nice washer & dryer. The neighborhood is great for a morning walk. One afternoon we walked a few blocks to the lovely Arizona Inn and enjoyed a cocktail in the bar. This house is so well located that we were able to get to several great restaurants in 15 minutes or so. Many grocery stores are close by, and attractions like the botanical gardens, museums, etc are easy to reach. Thanks to Erin for the quick responses to any questions. We would stay here again if we return to Tucson!

Great house and hosts

Very well located and nicely furnished home. We have Tucson roots but live out of state now. We felt right at home during our visit and this rental hit all the right Tucson notes. Great place and thoughtful hosts. Highly recommended!

Great location!

We stayed at Western Moon for Mom’s surgery at Banner Hospital. We were close to restaurants and everything we needed. The pool was key to beating the hot summer weather. Overall, the house was well appointed and comfortable.

Relaxing Tucson

Beautiful, comfortable Tucson home with a pool and hot tub made our stay perfect. The pool was a great addition. We didn’t use the hot tub, but it was out back near seating and a fire pit. Beds were comfortable; linens were nice. Home was easily large enough for two couples or a family. Host was easy to interact with and responsive. We would stay again for sure!

Absolutely Perfect home away from home!

Perfect home away from home for our family while visiting Tucson! The home has everything you would need and more! Easy check in and check out procedures, plenty of space for our family and in a great location. Neighbors were quiet and we had no issues at all. We will definitely stay here again and again!
