Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

"Great place. It had a backyard with hummingbirds that we spent the evenings watching, and it was fenced so our dog could spend the time with us out back. Location was perfect for our activities and there were restaurants and a brewery in walking distance." -Jim

"After 5 days in Tombstone/Bisbee area for an event, we were very happy to have some down time before traveling home. The location was perfectโ€”restaurants, botanical garden, antique store, and close to the airport for early flights." -Carrie

"This house provided a very scenic stay. It was easy to access, the layout was very nice. Robin was very helpful and communicative. I would recommend this house." -Alexis

"I had a wonderful stay! The place was quiet, clean, and exactly as describedโ€”perfect for relaxing. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure everything was seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!" -Amber

"Centrally located, a perfect stay for the international gem & mineral show. The view of the mountains was spectacular! The beds comfy, the bathrooms clean. A great stay all around. Robin and her crew were super responsive to any questions we had. We are already thinking of staying again next year." -Christy

๐Ÿš— Free parking is available right on the property for your convenience. While Tucson does have public bus routes and ride-share options, a car will be the most helpful way to explore the city, reach nearby attractions, and enjoy the beautiful desert landscapes at your own pace.

Iโ€™ve set up a ๐ŸŒง๏ธ rainwater harvesting system to nurture the plants in both the front and back yards. The landscaping is designed with hyper-local plants, creating food and shelter for ๐Ÿฆ‹ local pollinators. We hope you enjoy this immersive desert experience, taking in the natural beauty and relaxing while gazing at the ๐ŸŒ„ mountain views.

โœจ Important Notes:

For the safety of our guests and to be considerate of our neighbors, we use outdoor security cameras (monitoring exterior areas only). Please note: ๐Ÿšซ parties are not permitted at Tucson Tranquility.

๐Ÿพ Pet Policy: A $75 fee per dog (maximum of 2 dogs).

This was the perfect property for our stay. Clean, comfortable, spacious, with a gorgeous backyard area for having a cookout and watching the sky change colors with the sunset. The location made it super easy to explore Saguaro while still having quick access to numerous restaurant and entertainment options. As a plus, the setup was very dog-friendly.

We had an amazing time at this perfect home! It has everything you need and is so nice for dogs (we didnโ€™t bring ours this time but will next) with a separate room and doggie door. Nice sized kitchen with all the necessities. 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. We had some trouble with the TV but the host was responsive and we figured it out. Will stay here again!
