Stunning desert stay
Nellie’s home is fabulous. We selected the home wanting to be fairly remote yet close to town. This property did not disappoint. It offers beautiful vistas of all the different mountain ranges. The sunrises were stunning. It’s also a birders paradise. There was no need to leave the property. It offers all the necessary amenities. We’ll be back. Thanks Nellie.

Perfect Spot for Birders
My husband and his two birding buddies stayed at Nellie’s for their south AZ birdapalooza. It was a perfect spot; they were wowed by the beautiful Mexican art throughout, the ideal outdoor space, and spacious layout. Nellie went above and beyond as host - leading up to and throughout their four night stay. Thanks for sharing your beautiful property, Nellie!

Spacious living, relaxing patio, beautiful skies, loads of birds
This was our 2nd stay. The house is spacious and comfortable. And on 10 desert acres, it was quiet - except for the welcome birdsong: over 40 species heard or seen from the patio (or a short walk from the patio). Spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Although quiet and giving a feeling of remoteness, it is only about a 5 minute drive to the freeway, another minute to Tubac. Nellie was very conscientious and prompt in replying to questions and any (minor) issues we had.

Desert Oasis
Nellie has created a beautiful, peaceful oasis in the desert. We enjoyed our quiet retreat very much The house is large and well suited for the privacy that we three adult friends wanted. Fully appointed kitchen, unique, original art, friendly welcome by our host. Thank you!

Oasis in the desert
Spacious home with beautiful outside patio/garden area, including a fountain and grill area. Lots of wildlife viewing possible, peaceful and quiet inside and out. Large hacienda styled home with beautiful artwork. Good bedroom separation and lots of tables/areas to gather at. Good Wifi and cell phone connections. Close to Tubac but a very private setting. Little to none highway noise. Nellie was a gracious and attentive host.

Peaceful Retreat
This is just the best place to recharge. The property and house are amazing and it was so peaceful and beautiful. We had a much deserved weekend getaway and this was the best environment to relax and re-energize ourselves. We went for walks around the neighborhood and thoroughly enjoyed nature, ate dinner on the patio listening to nothing but quiet, birds, the breeze and our delightful conversation. There was a little market across the freeway, a few restaurants and a plaza with lots of art, galleries and quaint shops to stroll through in the afternoon. Overall I would highly recommend this place it has an abundance of everything required for a wonderful getaway.

A glorious get away
This property is exquisite. The interior kitchen is modeled with MESQUITE. The kitchen is fully stocked to make any type of meal. The layout is excellent especially if two families are coming to visit. The hostess Nellie Bracker is very gracious, and very prompt to correct anything necessary. The land around the home is gorgeous with many flowering plants that attack attract hummingbirds. We left the property feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Perfect setting
This is a beautiful home with all amenities. It went beyond our expectations. Not only was the home comfortable, it was interesting. Lots of decor, color, paintings, artifacts, etc… however, our most enjoyable feature was the patio. We enjoyed the water feature, the flowers, the birds , and the mountain scenery . Unfortunately, we misplaced house keys. The host was very forgiving. We will be more cautious in the future. As we get older, memories aren’t so good . It was one of the most enjoyable trips we have taken.
