We had a wonderful first experience with VRBO thanks to this amazing rental. The house had everything we needed—and more! We were pleasantly surprised by the abundance of amenities. The spacious backyard offers several seating areas, making it perfect for relaxing and socializing. Kevin was the perfect host from start to finish. We look forward to returning to this special getaway!

A great place to stay with a real southwestern feel! Everything was perfect from the firepit to the comfy beds. Would definitely stay at the Tohono O odham house again!
We stayed 3 nights in October. Kevin's place was just perfect. He has thought of so many little things that made the stay so unique. Not the least of which was the fully stocked fridge! We wish we had more time to enjoy the backyard fire pit. Thanks for a most excellent stay!
Really great rental with all the amenities you need...and more. Kevin really thought of everything. Home was "homey" in the best way possible. The house is close to a ton of amenities, in a quiet neighborhood with a great coffee shop within walking distance. Bed was comfortable, and the place very clean...two things that are hard to tell when booking. Even with Kevin being out of state, he was very accessible to communicate with.

Great property. Comfortable and well equipped. Location is awesome. Highly recommend.
Kevin has a wonderful, well-appointed place; we’d certainly stay again. He’s a generous, responsive, hospitable owner. Backyard is lovely and kitchen has everything needed. Easy access, great neighborhood.
Kevin is a tremendous host - tons of special touches and amenities to make for a truly memorable stay! We will definitely stay here again when we visit Tucson! Highly recommend!
This is a very welcoming place, well appointed, all the convenience of being home. Loved the DeGrazio and Gorman prints, books, etc..Plenty of adult beverages and cozy spots to relax!
Kevin did a wonderful job getting everything ready for our stay. We enjoyed the location, the backyard, and the pre-stocked drinks! Will definitely be back. Thanks, Kevin!
Loved the vibe of this super cute home. Very quaint and clean. Above and beyond with refreshments and amenities. We loved the southwest mixed with mid century modern decor. Beds were comfy and the fresh bread and eggs a surprise bonus. Would definitely stay again.
We really enjoyed this rental. It had everything you need in a vacation rental and was well thought out. Location was perfect, centrally located in town making it easy to get around. We're planning to stay here again next year.
Such a fun house, lots of extra amenities, game room, bar, fire pit, tortilla press & everything to make your own tortillas. Historic house and neighborhood. Comfortable, clean, great location.
This house and gardens were delightful. The house was tastefully decorated with local art. The neighborhood was calm with wonderful desert landscaping. We absolutely adored it.
Great VRBO. Centrally located, quiet historic neighborhood, and well appointed with everything we needed for a two week stay. Beds comfortable, kitchen stocked well, and welcome food and drink to get you started was a plus. Backyard, game room with foosball table with records and bar were fun
We enjoyed back-to-back weekends at this house recently. It's a great location to UofA, very clean, has a nice welcome amenity, plenty of supplies and a very nice fully stocked beverage refrigerator. We appreciated the attention to detail and hospitality!
Great comfortable historic adobe. Super well stocked and extremely responsive host who immediately responded to our needs and requests. Would definitely return!
I have stayed in many vacation homes over the past 2 years and the Tohono O'odum house is by far my favorite! Books, coffee bar, toothpaste, fire pit, bar, board games, foos ball...nothing was lacking for us! I just hope i can find this beautiful home again when its time for another visit to Tucson!
My family and I had a great stay in Tucson at Kevin’s property! The house was homey and the perfect walking distance to a friend’s wedding. Also in a great central location in Tuscon in general. Kevin was super responsive and accommodated our early check in with our one year old after a long day of travel! Definitely recommend!
