‘Garden House’ - Beautiful Mid-Century Home
Welcome to your spacious, modern, and carefully furnished 1950's ranch-style home in central Tucson's Garden District. A lush garden with three patio spaces, a chiminea and Weber barbecue are designed so you can get the most of Tucson's sunshine in the winter months. Within 2 min drive of Trader Joe's, the Rillito River Park pathway system, and 10 minutes from the University of Arizona campus. Owners (Michael and Rosanna) are artists and plant lovers that celebrate the culture of the southwest.
This home houses the studio of professional landscape artist Rosanna Marmont and displays a significant collection of her Tucson inspired paintings.
At 1500SF, it has ample room to spread out and make use of the numerous garden patios, a living room and a reading room. Natural lighting and large windows throughout. Bedrooms are private and quiet for your respite.
**All bedsheets are good quality linen (no synthetics) with down comforters and pillows. Wifi and Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN+ included.
A pond and fountain encourage an urban bird paradise, with the sound of birdsong and tumbling water filtering throughout the property. The three burner Weber grill tapped into the natural gas is a perfect amenity for hosting casual gatherings or dappling in some traditional Mexican style cuisine. The kitchen is fully stocked for all your needs, including good strong coffee.
Empty closets throughout allow guests to stay comfortably and make this home their own.

Beautiful home with original art, lovely garden spaces, and plenty of room for rest and relaxation. We’ve already booked it again for our next visit to Tucson!
The property was cute and well equipped. So convenient to everywhere we went in Tucson. Hosts were incredibly accessible and nice. Beautiful backyard! Would definitely stay again!
Wow, just wow!! This amazing mid-century home has been updated to perfection without removing the charm of the mid-century feeling. The house has everything you need and an AMAZING back yard oasis that will blow you away! We loved our stay here and all of us commented about what a gem this property is! You won’t regret booking here!
It really felt as if we were guests in the home. The home is comfortable and attractive with live plants throughout. The kitchen is well stocked and equipped. The front and back gardens are stunning. Recommend highly.
This 3 bedroom home has lots of space and a great outdoor backyard with 2 separate seating areas and a large gas grille. The house has everything including a well stocked kitchen, fantastic art on every wall and an even a projection tv!
We will definitely stay here again
Very lovely and clean house. The garden is beautiful and a nice place to relax after a day of activities. It was conveniently located near the San Pedro Chapel where we had a family wedding.
This place was EXCEPTIONALLY clean!
We loved getting sun in the backyard with birds, a fountain and some rabbit visitors. The side yard has a nice sitting area, as well. All of the plants and cacti, both indoors and out, are lovely.
The artwork in the home is intriguing—I especially loved the paintings on wood.
The location is central to many good places to eat, drink and shop. Therefore, it is one block away from a busy street with traffic sounds.
Enjoyed the houses different outdoor areas. Everything inside was as presented and immaculate. I would have preferred something closer to downtown/Uof A, but quality of property compensated
We all adored this rental!!! Positively amazing and absolutely gorgeous. While we had a few places to go to during our stay, we loved coming back to the property and spending time in the garden. 11/10 recommend!
If you visit Tucson, don’t miss the opportunity to stay in this lovely home! The patio and gardens are so gorgeous that it made it hard to leave for sight seeing at times. Great location. Plenty of good strong coffee to start our days. Fresh grapefruit from the tree. Kitchen and bathrooms have everything you need. Our host, Rosanna, was great with communication and her food recommendations were excellent. Plus we got to enjoy her artwork in every room. I wish there were properties like this everywhere we travel!
We spent the week between Christmas and New Year's at this wonderful home in Tucson. My husband did a lot of work in Tucson, but all our previous visits were staying at resorts (using hotel points). We were a party of 4 - parents, teenager, and one grandmother. The house was perfect for our casual adventuring and sightseeing. We were pretty central to downtown, hiking, and most importantly, "The Loop" for cycling.
Favorite features of this home:
- Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We often had leftovers from take-out and loved being able to spread out at the large dining table, too.
- Lovely garden (front and back yard) - it felt like we were lounging in our own personal botanical garden.
- The living room had a big lounging couch plus a second couch - rarely do rental homes have enough chairs or space for real lounging to watch TV and movies!
- The owner's art around the house is really wonderful. Most rental houses we find have zero soul or have zero decoration - this was a special bonus.
- We had so much fun watching movies at night using the projector, feeling like we had our own movie theater. It took us a bit to figure out the setup. Bonus tip: make sure the Chromecast is plugged into the AV system. Then, change the input on the AV (manual dial), and use your phone to cast whatever you want from your phone/tablet using your own streaming apps.
I'd love to come back and stay and bring my cycling friends now!
My communication with Rosanna was great, she was responded after every email and was very detailed with everything we needed to know about the house. We anticipated arriving in Tucson and early and she was able to accommodate us with an earlier than normal check-in time.
The house was so nice, clean, simple and so comfortable. We were all amazed at the artwork and both the front and backyards with the plants and all the seating areas. We could not have asked for a nicer, cozier home to spend the weekend. We are already set to come back next year to participate in the Tour de Tucson again and agreed this is the perfect house for us.
We cooked all our meals at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed and having the coffee and other essentials in the kitchen was an added bonus. If we could give it more stars, we definitely would give it a 10.
We will be back and thank you again for being the perfect hosts.
Both the front and backyards were stunning with the plantings. We enjoyed having lunch outside everyday we were there. It was like staying at the Botanical Gardens. Inside was lovely: totally updated and decorated with artwork by the host. Can't recommend this house enough!!
I loved appreciating all the incredible art in this peaceful space. The layout of the home was very comfortable clean and functional. I loved the master bathroom shower setup im so inspired to recreate this in my own home. The outdoor patio is so comfortable and inviting I hope to stay here again soon! Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Vista Del Monte over a long holiday weekend with family. We couldn't more highly recommend the property for comfort, cleanliness and ease of communication. We especially appreciated the interior upgrades that retained the historic character of the original 1950s ranch house. The original artwork and expertly designed and maintained garden also greatly enhanced the enjoyment of our stay!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Rosanna’s home/studio and found it lacking nothing. Her home is filled with her wonderful artwork and as art patrons, we found that aspect especially appealing. The backyard was delightful with it’s desert plants, pond with fountain, and birds attracted to the water. When you added in the comfortable lawn furniture, it was easy to spend long mornings there reading and relaxing. The projector television was a new experience for us and a real treat for watching movies. Rosanna always responded quickly with any questions we had. We would not hesitate to stay there again.
The property was perfect. The backyard was extremely private - like an oasis. It was very peaceful.. Inside there was beautiful original artwork all over. There was lots of room. The beds were very comfortable. We followed the easy instructions to watch the projection TV. We enjoyed our stay.
