MiraMontes guests frequently comment how well they sleep - better than they can ever remember. Must be the peace and quiet, fresh mountain air and comfortable beds. MiraMontes itself has approx. 2250 sq ft indoor space with at least that much again in verandas and decks, set on 12 acres with Catalina State Park and mountains as a backdrop. MiraMontes views include 20,000 acres of mountain without a neighbor in sight. Yet MiraMontes is just 5-10 minutes from a gas station, grocery store, golf, and restaurants. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom...the Master bedroom opens to the pool enclosure. The master bedroom bathroom with its enormous shower tiled with travertine has a mountain view. A third bedroom with private bathroom is available upon request. Please contact the owner for details Between the bedroom suites is an adequate well-stocked linen cupboard.. . The dining table with black leather high-backed chairs seats 8-10 comfortably. Patio furniture can easily be configured to seat 4, 6 or 10 guests for dinner..an ambience you and your guests will never forget. All kitchen appliances are electric. A gas-burning grill is on the Patio for those who enjoy barbecues. From Miramontes one can hike in any direction. Up the mountain, along the wash, down the hill - it is all lovely. MiraMontes offers exceptional bird watching. Quail, falcons, hawks, owls, vultures, the occasional eagle. Cactus wrens abound. Even year-round hummingbirds. Roadrunners are frequent visitors. MiraMontes' easterly orientation catches the warm morning sun. The verandas provide shade during the midday and afternoon glare. Great for entertaining especially as the sun goes down - Sundowner time is always special at MiraMontes. Sunsets transform the mountain to a pink glow. the moon rises and the stars come out... Imagine the resident pair of great-horned owls calling gently to each other; the musical sound of a distant coyote yelping party. An occasional nocturnal owl, kit fox or havelina sighting is enough to change the subject of almost any conversation. The aroma of woodsmoke is especially seductive under Arizona night sky illuminated by the brightest stars. Miramontes has an indoor beehive fireplace and an outdoor woodburning fireplace especially enjoyable by star - or moonlight.. Miramontes is listed as 'wheelchair-accessible.' All rooms are on the same floor and the flooring is travertine which facilitates indoor wheelchair manoevering. The grounds, surroundings and hikes are not at all wheelchair-accessible however. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Music library - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Categorically no smoking please ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the city center - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 2,250 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, DVD player, video library](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104860000/104850400/104850349/42b399e8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Serene SaddleBrooke Getaway – Private Patio, Resort Amenities & Views Saddlebrooke - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=104850349&PinnedHotelID=104850349&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22230000/22223000/22222969/5b5ee51e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tucson Hilltop Oasis Catalina - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 90 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=22222969&PinnedHotelID=22222969&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66450000/66444700/66444632/8ded2ac8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Caballo Pass welcomes you to Oro Valley with incredible mountain views.

What wonderful people. Second, the house is situated far off the main roads allowing for privacy, serenity and enjoyment of the spectacular mountains that are right there. The patio, nice pool, upper deck on the house and the new hot tub by the pool all face the mountains. Viewing the spectacular sunsets, sunrises and nighttime sky (stars and planets) were a great way to start and end the day. The house is comfy and well appointed. ##### donna t.

The Catalina Mountains form the backdrop. The views are unobstructed, stunning and evoke a sense of tranquility and peace. The home is situated on a hillside with great privacy. Yet the local market and gas station are within easy reach. Catalina State Park is nearby and offers wonderful hiking. The pool and hot tub are great places to relax and enjoy a Southwest vacation. The house is both comfortable and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well appointed and the house is fully equipped with all the amenities of modern living. The property manager is very helpful and responsive. We will certainly return and highly recommend this gem in the Catalina Foothills within easy reach of Tucson and surrounding parks. ##### Janet S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe R., CHEEKTOWAGA New York Oct 10, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A piece of paradise in Arozona This property has amazing views of the Catalina Mountains that you never get tired of looking at. Morning coffee and evening stargazing in the hot tub on the roof. Afternoons in the infinity pool cooling off. There are plentiful amount of animals around to add to the enjoyment of the property. We had continual hummingbirds at the patio, salamanders, a roadrunner and the local free range cows. Hans supplies a pair of binoculars so you can watch the wildlife in the hills also. The house is amazing. Full supply of pantry items and extras that you need to have a very comfortable relaxing experience. We went out exploring a few days but always looked forward to returning to the exquisite home to relax and enjoy! A true Arizona experience the we will never forget! ##### Joe R.

Nestled in the Catalina foothills, the view of the mountains and the dessert is unforgettable. We enjoyed our coffee on the back patio each morning watching the sun come up over the mountains. Evenings spent BBQing, relaxing in the hot tub and, well, the sunset is spectacular from this property. Hiking or biking at Catalina State Park, Saguaro National Park, visiting the Biosphere2 or the Observatory on Mt Lemon are only a short distance away. Tucson's Botanical Garden or shopping for art in Tubac are an easy day trip. But foremost, the home is warm and inviting. The house is fully stocked. Kitchen items, laundry, pool, everything you might need. The beds (and pillows) were comfortable. There is a large TV and a wonderful stereo system. If you are able to meet Elma, the owner, you will know why this house is so special. She and her husband clearly cared for this home with love. This is one of the best properties we have stayed (and we have traveled a lot) and I can highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. ##### Kathy S. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Don & Mary Ann G. Feb 21, 2018 #### Poor start, good finish Everything was going fine until we had to call for an escort to the property because it was somewhat remote. We had received an email with information on who to call (property manager). Upon calling the property manager we found out that she was no longer managing this property. We then called the owner to get directions and make sure that the home was ready. The home was easy enough to find so no problem there. Upon entering the home everything looked great. However, after unpacking and getting settled we noticed that things were not as clean as could be expected. So we did a little cleaning. After that things were much improved. The location is exceptional. Quiet and very peaceful. Very relaxing in the morning sitting out by the infinity pool in the sunshine. Lots of things to do locally if that’s what you want. All in all we would rate it 4 out of 5 stars only because of the poor start ( proper information would have been nice). ##### Don & Mary Ann G. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen S. Jul 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beauty, Tranquility, and Wilderness with Every Luxury I agree with the other positive reviews. It is a wonderful property, and a great value for the money. The home was spotlessly clean and fresh (like new); exceptionally well furnished; some luxurious amenities; and perfectly situated to maximize views and privacy. The photos do not do it justice. I also affirm what the owners have noted: I did sleep more peacefully and soundly in the master bedroom than I have slept in many years. I am a local who went seeking solitude, peace, beauty, and privacy during the Covid pandemic. And I found it at Mira Montes. The following observations are things that I did not see in other reviews, and might be useful: (1) I visited in the hottest part of the Arizona summer, and the pool was still pleasantly refreshing, and the AC was more than adequate. (2) The pool and its environs attract many kinds of birds, not only the ones that I can identify (roadrunners, hummingbirds, doves, countless quail) but also the kinds of birds that only birdwatchers can identify. If you are a birdwatcher, this is THE place where they come to you! (3) The interior is decorated with stunning mineral specimens, which even a non-specialist can admire. (4) I drove up in a Honda Accord without any problems, and the Amazon delivery vans were getting around without problems. It’s remote, and you have to drive slowly for a few feet on some washboard dirt roads, but it’s fully accessible to ordinary sedans, and only minutes from the main highway. (5) I’m a local, but the property is mostly used by out-of-state visitors, and both the owners and the numerous in-house reference materials will guide tourists to all the best places and the secret places. (6) The tile floors and overall acoustics were like a concert hall when listening to my classical and jazz music. (Fantastic amp and speakers provided). (7) I used the second HDMI port on the TV to hook in my own Roku so that I could bring my streaming services with me. I had some questions before renting, and Elma (one of the owners) was fast, forthright, and flexible in her responses. If you are curious or have concerns, just ask! You’ll get the right answers, and you may find that Mira Montes is your perfect holiday destination. ##### Stephen S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grace B.
