Nov 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This place is amazing. Beautiful home in a beautiful location that was peaceful and quiet and surrounded by cactus. Short distance to Saguaro National Park, and close to Tucson but you feel like you are still in the National Park. The home is really comfortable, great furnishings, big open space for kitchen and living areas, great outdoor covered patios for watching the sunrise and sunset, and the house had everything you could possibly need, especially in the kitchen. Roadrunner Property Care is outstanding, all of their communication was excellent and very responsive, and all instructions and info was super clear. Everything about this place was perfect. ##### Robert B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025
