Amazing Stay
This house surpassed our expectations. From the fully equipped kitchen to the most amazing bed and linens. The furnishings were spot on and so artistically well done, yet comfortable as we settled in for an 9 night stay. Although the pool is unheated (which we knew in advance) the yard was a great place to relax and sunbath. This Alaskan had no problem doing a polar plunge on a hot day. The office space was perfect for working on vacation and open concept living area was perfect for our gatherings. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Home!!!!
We stayed at this property while in Tucson for parents weekend at the University of Arizona. The house is absolutely gorgeous and immaculately clean. It was beautifully furnished, and a pleasure to stay in. The neighborhood was quiet and comfortable and we would absolutely stay there again! We highly recommend this property.

I did this on Vacasa
Overall the property had some very nice amenities, HOWEVER, the pool was freezing and could NOT be used. I ran a pool for 30 years and I suggested a relatively inexpensive "fix" on Vacasa. Tell the owner- anyone thinking the pool was the clincher to taking this property will be sadly disappointed.
