Quiet desert getaway with beautiful views and heated pool, pet-friendly

Enjoy gorgeous views in every direction from this cozy hilltop home. Relax by the pool on the hot days or enjoy a night inside by the fire on those rare cold nights. Conveniently located about 15 minutes from many of Tucson’s most popular attractions, including the UofA and Sabino Canyon, you’ll still enjoy plenty of quiet and privacy on this 1 acre property. Recently renovated, this home is perfect for a family coming to visit a college student, girlfriends looking for some sunshine and fun, or a group of friends in town to bike, hike, or run. Comfortable and well-appointed, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing, refreshing, and fun getaway. Dog-friendly.

In addition to sleeping 7 comfortably (king, queen, and 3 twin beds) there is a queen size sofa bed and a twin rollaway bed to sleep 3 additional guests.

The pool is equipped with a heater and can be heated in the winter, upon request. An additional daily heating fee of $40/day is required to cover the added gas expenses. When booking, let us know if you would like the pool heated for your stay!

Sorry, home is not available for events or large parties.

Property entryway is equipped with a video/audio Ring doorbell.

Super clean, comfortable, and appointed with everything we could have possibly needed. My two young kids loved the toys, books, games, and especially the pool. So much space for our whole family to spread out. Beautiful scenic location with views of the mountains. Close to Sabino Canyon—our favorite spot we explored.

Very well furnished, nice view, wonderful pool area, peaceful, clean, spacious. We were impressed with how much we liked this place. It was nice to have a garage also. This felt a lot more like home than most VRBO’s, I think due to all the furnishings - cleaning supplies, trash bags, dishes, utensils, Kleenex, paper products. Pool was warm, and plenty of toys for kids. Could’ve used a cleaning on bottom, but didn’t bother the kids or I. Overall super nice place we’d be happy to stay again if ever in the area.
