Private Oasis near Ritz Carlton, on 5 acres, stunning views, spa

Located near the Ritz Carlton on its own private 5 acres, Casa Vaquera is a rare, special retreat for those seeking a serene, rejuvenating get away with unparalleled 360 degree views.
While just minutes from golf, dining, and shopping, once you arrive, you are on the grounds of a naturalist's preserve with majestic saguaros and desert washes.
Write your book, paint the landscape or play your song. Dine outside under the ocotillo ramada, with fire pit and BBQ or indoors by the fireplace. Finally, relax in the spa under a star-filled sky.
Rustic, authentic ambiance, beautifully appointed with quality linens and amenities, gas and charcoal grill. - For the quality of care to expect, please see reviews and also reviews on my other home VRBO494934. Both homes are on separate 5 Ac properties. Please note: no dishwasher or garbage disposal.

Beautiful spot close to national park
Great little house close to beautiful hiking in national and state parks, perfect for the two of us. Loved the hot tub, kitchen had everything we needed. A bit depending on winds (I think) some traffic noise from nearby highways but the views of the mountains are so beautiful that it’s easy to tune those out and feel you’re far away from everything.

Relaxing Hideaway
We had a great week here. Jan is a very responsive and excellent host who has thought of everything you need to be comfortable. The hot tub in the moonlight was fabulous and sitting on the patio in a bathrobe drinking your morning coffee in the sunshine was too. The only caution I would have is that the bathroom would be pretty tight for a very large person but for us it was fine.

I think the best that can be said after a stay at a VRBO property is that you would choose to stay there again. I would definitely stay here again. Great spot. Well out of the city proper. Clean. Comfortable bed. Easy communication with owners.

Desert oasis
What a lovely casita! Stunning views, extremely private, lovely outdoor spa and several wonderful patios, well-appointed interior, comfy bed, each room decorated in southwestern theme, and all 5 min. from a full market and other amenities. It was perfect both after an active day exploring the Tucson area, and also on a rainy day, just enjoying a cozy retreat and relaxing. Jan was the perfect, helpful host. We were there 5 nights and loved it! Highly recommended.

Great Place
This place was perfect for our week in Tucson! Had everything we needed, especially the hot tub after all the biking and hiking. It was just secluded enough to feel like you were all alone but still close to the highway and grocery store for when it was time to resupply or tour around. Would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful property
This is a charming Sonoran desert casita on a beautiful piece of land. It's very comfortable and quiet. There are patios on 3 sides of the house that are perfect for enjoying the outdoors. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. The host is very friendly and helpful. When I return to Tucson, I'll definitely stay here!

Wonderful Stay at Vaquera
We had a wonderful retreat for a week in Vaquera. The house is comfortable, spotless, and quiet. The main living area and patio look directly onto Mount Lemmon. Sunrises are beautiful. Easy access to Catalina and Picacho Peak State Parks and Tortolita Mountain Park. Fry's groceries is nearby. Jan is a gracious and responsive hostess. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay in Tucson.

We could not have asked for a more perfect stay for our first trip to Tucson. The cottage is so comfortable & our hosts were wonderfully friendly & responsive. Sitting out on both patios with the beautiful desert landscape all around us was such a pleasure, we didn't want to leave. Thank you, we hope to return!

Great spot for two!
Great place! Easy to find. Very clean. Perfect size for my husband and me. Beautiful view of the Catalinas from the lovely outdoor space. It would have been nice to have a couple of more large towels as it was unseasonably chilly and we used the hot tub several times. Other than that it was perfect!
