Our large family was visiting Tucson for an even larger family reunion. Staying in the gorgeous historic Adobe Victorian Blenman House together as a family was WONDERFUL!!

Perfect wedding
We needed a large house for our extended family to stay in while celebrating our son's wedding in Tucson. The Blenman House was perfect. We enjoyed spending time chatting on the front porch and the central living area, and hanging out by the pool. We especially loved seeing the cats each day. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The location was within walking distance of restaurants, arts/music, and shopping, so we were able to find something fun for people from age 16 to 82 to do. Convenient parking, too. Our hosts were very helpful assisting with delivery of oxygen equipment for a family member. Thank you!

Family reunion at Blenman House
This is a beautiful historic home with a location downtown that can’t be beat. Our family of 16 prepared many of our own meals in the well equipped kitchen, and also enjoyed special meals out in downtown restaurants. One night we all took in a musical at the Temple of Music and Art two blocks away. The bedrooms are spacious and lovely. We had a great week together here.

Loved this historic home and its location
This home is beautiful. So much to look at in every room. My family stayed here for my brother's wedding weekend. His reception was at the Scottish Rite Cathedral next door - the location cannot be beat! We loved staying in this home and we were all very comfortable. Thank you BJ for being a great host!

Very cool historic house
Stayed here with 6 other couples for a Football game. Ate all our meals here but many good restaurants blocks away in this prime location. One of the best places we have stayed with a large group.

Large historic mansion with exquisite furnishings
Beautiful old home in an excellent location in downtown Tucson. All kinds of eating and entertainment establishments within walking distance. The home itself was beautiful, with swimming pool and hot tub immaculately clean

Family reunion
Our family of 13 were very comfortable in this beautiful house. It was very convenient to downtown which was within walking distance. Children enjoyed the pool even in December and everyone appreciated the spa after a day of hiking or biking. Be sure you I know the difference Bremen renting the house as an inn and renting as a B and B.

Amazing stay
We couldn't have been happier with this house. We had 11 family members together for a long weekend in Tucson and this house was the perfect gathering place. Huge, beautiful, comfortable and the perfect location. We could walk to many good restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The pool and hot tub was a great place for everyone to hang out. We loved it!
