Historic Sam Hughes Area- Resort Backyard and Pool

9th Street Retreat is a gorgeous 2 bedroom + den with pull out couch that sleeps 2 guests, 2 bathroom Santa Fe style ranch on a quarter acre in the exclusive Sam Hughes neighborhood conveniently located just minutes from the University of Arizona and Downtown Tucson. Enjoy scenic walks through this historic neighborhood full of unique southwestern structures! This getaway retreat is a wonderful place to bring the family and enjoy a good ol' southwestern BBQ while lounging by the sparkling pool and gazing at our breathtaking sunsets. This unique historic home displays impressive authentic native artwork throughout that truly allows you to appreciate the natives and the region. For all you foodies this home is located right in the heart of the 'Best 23 Miles of Mexican Food' unofficial food trail jam packed with a variety of Mexican restaurants providing one-of-a-kind dishes. Tucson is known as one of the top friendly biking communities with over 130 miles of bike paths that stretch the city. There are several cool hiking trails and hotspots that the outdoors provides including Mt. Lemmon, Karchner Caverns, Colossal Caves, Saguaro National Park and much more. We invite you to come to the Retreat on 9th and take in the full Tucson experience!

The extended driveway is partially covered, providing covered parking and plenty of space for your RV. The rustic pavers leading to the homey nook with terracotta pottery and the mischievous Kokopelli decor housing the custom-made front door truly foreshadows what awaits inside. Upon entering the living room has an open floor concept with views directly to the backyard Sonoran Oasis. The open area has high distressed wood ceilings with exposed wood beams and custom Spanish tile throughout. Come sit on the comfortable sofa and loveseat in front of the enchanting fireplace that is accented with decorative tile or jam out on the electric piano.

Heading towards the kitchen from the living room, you find a very intriguing dining room displaying amazing native artwork from the region that will inspire some interesting dinner conversations around the banquet-style solid wood dining table. The artwork is encased in cherry wood cabinets with accent lighting to really improve the aesthetic impact.



Calling all foodies, the kitchen is furnished with a gas stainless stove and oven combination, a microwave, French door refrigerator and dishwasher for all your kitchen needs. The cherry wood cabinets provide plenty of room for storage and there are beautiful extended granite countertops for prepping and entertaining.

Great house in quiet neighborhood
This house is located in the same neighborhood where I grew up. This is my second time staying here when visiting nearby family, and I would have stayed here more often if it wasn’t usually in use. The house is in a great location in a quiet neighborhood near the university, and has lots of space and a nice covered patio and pool in the backyard.

A hidden gem!
I absolutely loved this property. The location is prime and the neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. It really feels like you’re at a resort in the center of Tucson! The pool is gorgeous. We loved all the lush greenery. The house was thoughtfully decorated and cozy. The communication with the host was also top notch. We appreciate the very quick responses! Thanks for letting us stay at your property. We will be back.

Nice visit to Tucson
Older home in pretty good shape. Floor boards in master BR creak really badly. A couple steps up/down to master, so would be tough with WC or walker. Furniture is older and well worn but comfy. The StressLess leather chair/ottoman was a bonus. Pool was beautiful and clean. A/C worked really well. No garage but lots of space on driveway with canopy overhead to protect from sun (but not rain, as we found out). Overall, a good comfortable stay in a nice quiet neighborhood near Natural Grocers (3 blocks) and Whole Foods (1 mile). We liked it.

Another Great Stay!
We love this place! The house is perfect. The pool is such a treat after a long day of exploring and the outdoor space is great for hanging out. The master bedroom/bath is large and very comfortable. Kitchen is stocked with anything you could need to cook. We can’t wait to go back!!!

Great home and location to visit U of A
This was a great home / location to be able to visit the University of Arizona with our daughter. The pool was fantastic especially when the temps were 114 degrees outside. The home was well equipped for home cooking, including spices and supplies for cooking. This is a great place whether visiting the U of A or just wanting a nice home for spending time in Tucson. The home was clean and comfortable and the check in process was easy. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Amazing staff
Place was as described- I was there to get away from construction work at my own home - but needed to work. The WiFi was an issue. Within minutes of me reporting it someone was on their way to fix it. Place was lovely but the cars and attention by the staff was amazing.

Weekend Getaway
What a great place to stay! We loved our time here and can’t wait to come back. Location is perfect, close to the university and restaurants but on a nice, quiet street. The house is roomy and comfortable with ample space for all to spread out. The pool and surrounding patio make this house extra special. We spent as much time as we could outside-from coffee in the morning to swimming all afternoon to an evening cocktail. Highly recommend for everyone!

Tuscon Bike Week
I came with a friend for a week for the sole purpose of riding bikes, getting away from the snow and relaxing. We had a great time. The house was very comfortable and sitting by the pool at the end of a good ride was super relaxing. Thank you.
