Missouri and Arizona met in Tuscon

The location was great. The view is amazing. The patio is a great addition to the living room. Everything you could need was already in the house for you to use.

Wonderful House

Our family stayed for a week and the house was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen and pantry were well stocked. The bathrooms were clean and very nice. One of the highlights was the large covered patio. A very peaceful place

2nd amazing stay

This was our second time staying here and it was great. Huge pool nice house, great views. Love the location, Elton the manager is really nice. It’s really nice at night with all the stars out. Can’t recommend enough, and after visiting Tucson for 8 years this is the best rental we have found.

Wedding celebration

The house is spectacular and was very convenient to the wedding venue. Everything we needed in the kitchen and the patio was perfect for drinking coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening.

It was a beautiful property and home! Perfect for a family gathering for a wedding.

We loved everything about the home, but were especially impressed with the back area entertaining area and pool! Very clean and well kept and the sunsets and sunrises over the mountains were fantastic! Elton was of great help! We would definitely return if ever in the Tucson area again!!!

Great house

We had a fantastic stay in this house. Lots of space and well appointed. The beds were super comfortable! The only downsides were someone had to meet us to check in- felt like we had to rush to the house after waiting an hour to get our rental car and this house is fairly remote- a 25 minute drive to campus and 30 to downtown. Overall a great stay.

Terrific Stay

This is a beautiful house. Patio is huge and allowed us to spend time outdoors. It is surrounded by plants and wildlife. Access to Speedway makes getting to other places easy. Try Saguaro Corners restaurant nearby. Property manager was very helpful. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Amazing Property!

The house is beautifully decorated and very well stocked. The rooms and pool were bigger than they looked in the pictures and the patio alone is worth the rental. Everything was so clean and the property manager couldn’t have been more welcoming. We were all hoping to have a reason to come back to Tucson so that we could stay at Rancho Venado again.

Excellent house with lots of room for everyone.

10 friends on a golf holiday. Courses were close and beautiful and affordable. The house was clean and spacious and very enjoyable. It does sleep 10 however the pull out couch was not the most comfortable.

Fabulous

This is our second stay at Rancho Venado. It is perfect for a large group. We enjoyed it so much last year that everyone in our party wanted to stay there again this year. We were not disappointed. It was perfect. What more can be said?

Fabulous House

Great space for an extended family to gather and we adjusted our itinerary to spend more time at the house rather than touring Tucson. Loved preparing meals together and taking advantage of perhaps the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen (particularly appreciated the basic supplies in the pantry.) Eating outside was a delight and playing games inside after dinner was fun family time. Wished we'd stayed longer!

Great property, but a bit dated

We came to Tucson for a family wedding at Tanque Verde ranch and found this property nearby. The area is beautiful and it’s a great house - ideal for a lot of people. The caretaker was very communicative and helpful before we arrived, and made sure we were well taken care of. My only issue would be that the house is a bit dated, the lights are hard to operate in that the switches are in odd locations, and the water and heating temps were hard to manage. These are fixable things that would take this property from pretty good to excellent. We certainly enjoyed being there.

Graduation Weekend in Tucson

Great house for a family staying in Tucson for Univ of Arizona graduation. Elton met us upon arrival and provided a great overview of the property and area. A little farther from campus than what we thought we wanted (25 minutes) but turned out to be great. Plenty of room for family of six to spread out and nearby hiking trails, restaurants and grocery shopping. House is well secured with electric gate, and was stocked with everything you would need for a weekend in the desert!

Loved it

Loved it, very relaxing house with plenty of room to spread out in. Wonderful places to watch the sunset (one early bird actually watched the sunrise and sunset every day!) Relax by the pool in the afternoon and fire pit in the evening. The house was very well equipped and organized which also helped to make this a very low stress event for us.

Family gathering

We planned a week getaway for three kids, all Over 60, two spouses, and us. Certainly picked the right spot. Enjoyed Tombstone, Air Museum, Saguaro National Park, and botanical gardens. The home was perfect for the family. We were greeted by Elsa in a very comfortable manner. Our communication with Elton was top notch. Highly recommend this property.

House was Amazing!!!

We loved the house, and it had everything you could think of in terms of amenities. The property and views were incredible. We loved the open floor plan and amazing fireplace. The property manager (Elton) was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The temperature was a bit cool so we did not enjoy the patio and pool as much as we would have liked... we hope to be back again soon.

Fun in the Sun

This property was everything I hoped it would be. The house was spacious, well appointed, and spotlessly clean. Even my very fussy wife was completely satisfied. While we were there, a hot tub was installed and we could not get my 5 year old grandson out of it. The property managers, Mary and Elton, were easy to work with, helpful and completely fair. Even though the price of propane had gone up dramatically, they honored the daily price to heat the pool that we had agreed to nearly a year ago. We would surely stay here again.

Everything you want and more

We stayed at this beautiful property to attend a wedding 10 minutes away at Saguaro Buttes. The house was perfectly located to this venue. We loved being outside the city a bit and thoroughly enjoyed sitting and relaxing on the patio while staring at the mountains / scenery. The house had everything we could have needed and more. We appreciated the abundance of towels, pillows, linens, sunscreen, and kitchen supplies. The patio, foosball table, pool, and hot tub were by far our most favorite parts of this house. The pictures don't do it justice! If you are considering staying in this area, don't look any further and book this property.

Wonderful Home for Family Thanksgiving Gathering

This is a gorgeous home perched on a hill with wonderful views of the mountains and desert. Certainly one of the best VRBO homes we have stayed in. Home is well designed and furnished for a group with several "gathering" spots. There is a great outdoor patio room that is spacious with plenty of seating and a foosball table that has views of the mountains and the beautiful pool. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the cooking utensil needed for our Thanksgiving feast. During the day we enjoyed bike rides and hikes in Saguaro National Park as there are many trails nearby. We saw coyote and Antelope Jackrabbits in the desert. This is truly a lovely place managed by lovely people who have done an extraordinary job of equipping the home to be comfortable for groups and families. Thank you for sharing with us, we hope to return soon!

Better than Best!

This home was amazing!!! Six of us (all friends for years) get together every few years. We rent a home so we can spend more time together just to relax and enjoy each other’s company. This home was perfect. There were more than enough bedrooms and bathrooms. There were several sitting areas. The patio was enormous and great for playing card games (we got very good at Zuni during this trip)! The house was so clean, as well as beautifully and tastefully decorated, They thought of every possible comfort when they stocked the house. The property manager met us at the home upon arrival. He showed us all around the house explaining as we went. We had a question during our stay, and he got right back to us. The six of us have all wonderful things to say about our stay. Outstanding!!!

Gorgeous house, great views, great managers

We stayed for a week with three kids and had the time of our lives the pool was amazing we couldn’t get the kids out of it, the views were astounding, the desert at night was completely gorgeous. Elton the manager was super friendly and helpfull. It couldn’t have been nicer. Great layout for families as the kids can have one wing at the house and the grown-ups can I have the other
