Premium location in the lower Catalina Foothills. Plenty of privacy. Amazing views in every direction. Convenience to urban amenities with the feeling of a desert retreat.

Beautiful and Quiet neighborhood
This was a very nice stay. The property was clean and quiet and the hosts are friendly. Lots of wildlife to see and a nicely landscaped LARGE lot in the city. We had a lot of fun exploring the area. The host gave us helpful advise and directions. I wish we could have stayed another week.

Very clean airstream. It exceeded my first impressions. Very happy with the communication, kindness and trustworthiness of both the owners. They respected our privacy but were always more than willing to help if we needed it. Very happy with our stay and vacation to Tucson Arizona in their Airstream.

RV Living in Tucson
EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION with Owner. Listing and Reviews are very accurate. However... I did not read throughly. I have always wanted to be an "RV Person" and took this opportunity to try it out. Alas... I am not an RV Person. I only have positive comments about the Listing, Property and Owner. PLEASE Do Not Do what I did --> READ the detail description by Owner. She took time to make it a very smooth process. Alas... I didnt and got lost at night. This VBRO is in a wonderful, quiet location. Great Wifi Service. Several comfortable spots to stargaze, watch sunsets or sunrises. Unit is on the back of the property and though I felt like I was isolated, I also felt secure that if I needed any assistance, then someone was very close by. I had a few issues in the beginning of my stay. Communication with Owner was VERY quick and she even came in person to verify I was all set.

wonderful location
It is a beautiful desert/suburb location. The views are superb especially the sunsets.We spotted many birds who sang us awake every morning. Our host, Suzanne was very responsive to our needs and minor issues found in the Airstream. The trailer was clean and fun to spend some time in. If one wants a unique experience this is the one.

A very nice place, the Airstream trailer. We found the trailer a bit cramped but we adapted. A great location to explore Tucson's attributes.

Airstream in beautiful location, great views
We enjoyed our stay at the Airstream very much. The outdoor seating area is surrounded by beautiful native vegetation and gives the feeling of being close to wilderness. The free-standing fire place allowed us to enjoy the patio even on a chilly night, and the hill-top location provided a near 270 degree view.

Amazing Property!!
Stayed here over Thanksgiving with wife and 2 small dogs. This place was Amazing, much better than expected!! The property is beautiful, sitting atop an arroyo there are great city views, especially at night. The location is very private and the Arirstream has a nice wood deck and large brick patio with a chiminea. Palo verde trees adjacent to the patio area provide some daytime shade and a congregation spot for local wildlife. This is how to do outdoor living right!! The inside is very well done as well. The bathroom is tight, as expected. I am 6' 230lbs and it was manageable, a larger person will struggle. Easily the most comfortable VRBO bed we've ever had, that is always one of our biggest concerns and this one was tops. It is very comfortable, but it is camper so if that is not your vibe then it might not be best option, but if you are on the fence, DO IT!! You will not regret it! Biggest bummer is that it is already booked for our Xmas visit, but this will be our top option on future visits.

This was my third annual stay in what I consider a slice of Heaven! Nothing about the property could be more ideal…location, amenities, cleanliness, communication with Suzanne the owner, wildlife, lack of glitz, etc. Even more ideal for me will be next year’s longer visit!

Sweet spot!
We stayed here for two nights while visiting family that was staying at the Hacienda del Sol down the road. The airstream war perfect for our needs. Both beds were comfortable, everything was clean and tidy. The outdoor deck has a beautiful view. You really feel like you have your own little cozy spot surrounded by dessert wildlife.

Beautiful retreat
This place is amazing. The views are spectacular with a nice sense of privacy. The hosts were exceptional. They communicated quickly and took care of anything we needed right away. We work remotely and when the WiFi wasn’t strong enough for remote work, they immediately went out and got a better system. They truly cared and wanted to ensure that we enjoyed our stay.

I loved this place! Convenient location, but also feels remote and natural (I even saw a bobcat stroll through the yard). Ideal glamping experience. The owner is very responsive if you have any issues.

My Ideal VRBO
My Air Stream stay this April was just as quintessential as last year’s. Again I thoroughly enjoyed every creature comfort provided: from the super comfortable bed to the fully-equipped kitchen, great Wi-fi and TV reception and wonderful outdoor seating and views. The high desert hilltop location is so quiet and beautiful, it’s hard to believe a Trader Joe’s is just 15-minutes away. Soon I’ll be checking with host Susanne about my next visit to what has become my favorite place!
