We have outdoor seating as well under our gazebo, which allows both protection from the sun, and bugs. The view from our backyard is stunning- you can dine, or lounge and enjoy the alpenglow of the Catalina Mountains.
Many local critters frequent our backyard, from friendly quail and doves who frequent our bird feeders, to the numerous lizards who call our yard their home. If you're a bird-lover, you will love sitting outside! Our large grassy lawn (yes, it's *real* grass) is regularly and lovingly maintained by the owner and is a rarity in southern Arizona.
DOGS ALLOWED: We are dog lovers and are happy to host families who choose to travel with their dogs. We allow one, well-behaved, dog per visit. However, if you'd like to bring two dogs, please reach out so we can chat!
FAMILY-FRIENDLY: We are parents, and we understand that having certain amenities at your short-term rental can make traveling much more enjoyable! We have a highchair with a full harness, a portable booster seat, children's dishes, a portable crib, and a selection of toys for our younger guests. We recently added a set of bed rails to fit on the bed in the Serenity Bedroom, and a blackout screen for the window.
