Summary: Anyone who owns a home knows that every now and then it seems a lot of things go wrong at once and a few things did go wrong while we were staying but Neil was always quick to have somebody come and fix whatever it was. A big one was the heating/ cooling system for the house. Another was the heating system for the pool. Both were taken care of within a few days and we all had a very enjoyable stay. The views from the house are beautiful and the ambiance of the house itself, especially the great room make just staying home a pleasure. The kitchen is easy to use. I found the induction stove to be especially wonderful for cooking. There's a great collection of pans, though a large pot for steaming or spaghetti would be a good addition. The grill is excellent

Summary: I think the title of this review says it all. This was our seventh year of renting a property in Tucson and this property is our favorite by far. Everything in the description is true. As hikers we loved the close proximity to Catalina State park and that it is possible to also hike right from the house and access trails going to Catalina park through the Coronado forest. Our favorite room was the living room with its incredible fireplace, beautiful views of the mountains beyond the backyard pool and beautiful wood beams which are not merely decorative but truly structural. As the major cook I really enjoyed the kitchen. The knives are actually sharp! Unfortunately all five of us got a cold and/or Covid!(Typical of family gatherings). So we needed to isolate for a while and we all felt very comfortable here and enjoyed the privacy and seclusion of this amazing house. There are special little areas all around the house to just sit and enjoy the quiet, listening and looking for local birds. And though you have a feeling of isolation, groceries, gas, and traffic are less than 10 minutes away. We met Neil and were impressed at how much he wanted us to really enjoy his property and would do everything he could to make sure anything that needed attention was taken care of as soon as possible while always being very respectful of our privacy. To be clear, everything did work while we were there or was quickly repaired or replaced. We’re excited that we’ll be back next year! Michael

Summary: The house and grounds are unbelievable ; with beautiful views of Catalina mountains from every window in the house. We stay in a lot of Vrbo’s but this one was our absolute favorite! Hiking trails to petroglyphs right out the door, bonfires at night,suppers on covered porch. We will be back!

Summary: Beautiful property, great pool and hottub. We were visited by a great horned owl and coyote. What a treat!

Chad S. Feb 23, 2023 12:16:13 PM

Summary: Loved the place. Very private. Views are incredible. I knew it was mountain views but WOW....they are in your face mountains that impress you every time you look up. Loved the hikes out the door and nearby 20-40 min drive to other longer hikes. Neal was great to work with as well!

Tanya F. Jun 1, 2022 03:59:41 AM

Summary: Neil and Jenny were the nicest kindest people ever. So helpful on directions and even recommendations on places to eat that were very delicious. The home was magical and very comfortable. You have zero stress with the comfort of the home, the outside sitting and walking paths, the pool/hot tub, and the sound of nature you see from multiple different levels of various sitting areas. As long as Neil is sharing his home, we will only stay here. Coming back with our grown children soon!!!

Frank N. Mar 29, 2022 05:13:00 AM

Summary: Very private beautiful home. We've rented several vacation homes in AZ, this was the best experience by far! The outdoor patio and pool area is phenomenal!

Alan P. Feb 23, 2022 03:41:12 PM

Summary: Extraordinary home and property with breathtaking views of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Be sure to drive to the top of Mount Lemmon and also visit the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Loved the pool and hot tub. Neil was a great host and explained the history of the home and area and provided many ideas for places to visit. Not enough time to do them all. Plan to return soon.

Shannon E. Oct 25, 2021 12:25:34 PM

Summary: This is wonderful place, in the best location and Neil, the host was extremely helpful during the whole process. The property has everything you need and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

John l. Oct 12, 2021 02:03:02 PM

Summary: Absolutely would come back to this beautiful place! House has dramatic architecture and the decor is comfortable and inviting. Pool is a joy day or night with fountains and fire pits. Place is very private with large grounds and gorgeous mountain views. Neil is very accommodating and lives here part-time. Apparently we were the first guests of the season and not everything was ready when we arrived. This was slightly inconvenient but Neil added a day to our stay at no charge as compensation. Gravel road was not an issue, even after a heavy rain. Restaurants, stores and a state park are nearby.
