Awesome Property!
Review Submitted: May 6, 2009
Date of Stay: April 2009
My family recently stayed at this property April 13 - 19. It was clean, beautifully decorated and was located in an ideal location. The view from the backyard of the Santa Catalina Mountains was incredible. We ate most of our meals outdoors under the veranda and enjoyed the awesome view. As the sun goes down, the mountains turn beautiful colors!
The home itself is on a very quiet court and we took walks at night through the neighborhood and by the golf course. Everything we needed was in close proximity, grocery stores, malls, restaurants etc. And it was only about a 25 minute, very easy drive from the Tuscon airport.
There were so many things nearby to see and do. We spent a day in Tubac (about 45 minutes) visiting the 100+ shops (jewelry, pottery, metal work, artwork, etc.) and then had a great lunch at the Presidio Cafe. Another day we took a scenic tram ride through the Sabino Canyon. Incredible views! I recommend taking the tram up and then walking down (3.7 miles) so you can get some great pictures. From there we drove through the scenic Saguaro National Park and ended our day at the Sonora Desert Museum. The Hummingbird Aviary was pretty neat. The females were nesting...such tiny nests! We took a 90 minute guided tour through the desert and learned about the animal and plant life. Everthing was just starting to bloom! We also visited the Tuscon Botanical Garden. It is only a 7 acre garden, but has some really nice places to take family pictures. My Mom loves to garden, so she was in seventh heaven.
I don't think the advertisement does this place justice, it is a must see! We had everything we needed and more. It was a fun, yet also a very relaxing place to stay. Kind of like home plus the niceties of a hotel all rolled into one! Definitely nice to have your privacy, multiple bathrooms, and quiet, which you won't get in a hotel. There were days we planned things and then days we lounged by the pool and read a book.
I would highly recommend this property and plan to take my family back there again!
