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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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

Very Nice Stay
The property is as described. The home has everything one would need for a great stay. The property manager, Elton, was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again. The only drawback is how far away from downtown it is but if most of your activities will be on the eastside this is an awesome property.

Fantastic Stay at a Fabulous House
The house is wonderful, clean, perfectly furnished, and so well-equipped with everything you'll ever need. Lots of indoor and outdoor space for large family or groups to spread out or be together and not feel crowded. We love the location in a quiet neighborhood so close to Saguaro National Park. And Elton, the property manager was great! He took the time to welcome us in-person and walk-through/show us the house. He was very friendly and shared helpful tips to make our stay great. We will definitely rent this house again in the future. Thanks Mary and Elton!

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.

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.

Fabulous. Would definitely stay again.
We had a fabulous stay here. Elton met us at the house and showed us around. This was the most well stocked house we have ever stayed in. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a French Press for our coffee, good knives and skillets, and plenty of dish towels and even aprons. We ate all meals on the wonderful patio, watched the sunrise and the sunset from the patio each day, greatly enjoyed the hummingbirds, and relaxed in the pool every afternoon. The property was very private but not too far from anywhere we needed to go. We definitely hope to return one day soon!

So glad we stayed here
We were in Tucson to move our son into his freshman year at Univ of AZ and very much enjoyed our stay at the property. It was our first time in Tucson and we received a warm welcome from Elton, the property manager. He was great to work with when there were a few issues at the house. And when our return flight home was cancelled at the last minute and we couldn’t rebook until the following day, he and Mary were true life savers and let us spend another night at the house. We so appreciate everything Elton, Elsa and Mary did to accommodate us during our stay and the extra night at the house. Thank you for making our trip to Tucson even more special.

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.
