Spacious house in Tucson
My wife and I stayed with our daughter there before she moved into the dorms at U of A. The house was spacious, with plenty of space in the kitchen, dining area, living room, and bedrooms. The AC was great since it was over 100 degrees outside! The pool was warm and clean. Thank you to our host, Roman, for being responsive and helpful!

Cozy and Inviting
We got caught up in the CrowdStrike issues that plagued airline travel, causing us to arrive about eight hours later than planned. We were relieved to arrive to such a clean, well appointed home! Everything was as expected, and we especially enjoyed the use of the pool. Communication with the property managers was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.

Short Reunion
We enjoyed our stay at the Lester House in Tucson. We had family from out-of-state, and from overseas that stopped by during our stay. The nice pool and playroom kept the children busy the entire time. We would gladly stay here again in the future. Convenient location to many shopping venues and leisure activities. Responsive manager to any requests and needs. Thank you very much for a memorable stay.

Graduation weekend
We had 3 different commencement ceremonies to attend on the U of A campus on 3 different days. It was a very convenient location for the back and forth. The host was accommodating and communicative. We enjoyed the backyard space and pool during down time. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Paradise
We can’t say enough about Tanya and her hospitality - she made sure we had a pack ‘n play available for my daughter when we arrived and made check in/out a breeze (which with two small children was invaluable). Her property is immaculate and lovely, perfectly located and ideal for families visiting the Tucson area. The citrus trees and the pool were BIG hits with our kids as well. We will for sure stay again if we are in the area!

Beautiful house
This property is beautiful and we really enjoyed ourselves. We had an emergency situation and needed a place to stay pretty quick for a family of 5. We were able to book this house on short notice and it was completely ready for us. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the pool. There is beautiful artwork throughout the house. We were very comfortable and everything we needed was provided.

Beautiful home, great stay!
This house is beautiful and clean! The location was quiet and on a cul de sac so there wasn’t any traffic or noise. The beds were firm (which I prefer) and I slept like a log during our entire stay! The pillows were great as well! We were able to enjoy the pool and fire pit. The host was also very accommodating! Initially it was going to be just my husband and I staying at the house, and when our group size changed after booking it, she allowed us to add my brother and his wife without hesitation. Additionally, our flight got changed last minute, which had us arriving WAY earlier than planned. Tanya was super great and allowed us to check earlier than the normal time. I did have a question the day before we left that she never responded to, but I consider that a minor thing and overall I felt that she went out of her way to accommodate us and our requests. As a previous reviewer noted, the key lock box was tricky the first day but my husband figured it out. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this house to anyone.

Nice city getaway!
This home is well equipped, very clean, and some extra touches top it off. The pool would be a treat on a hot day, back yard is very relaxing. Some city sounds outside of the property, but we loved the access to hikes, etc.

Perfect for my Family of 6
The place was super clean, the property cared for. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of space for my family of 6. Kitchen is big and spacious. Dishwashing soap, kitchen bags, laundry soap, towels, beach towels, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and toilet paper were all supplied. Neighborhood was quiet. Pool was fun for the kids! You do have to swim around the vacuum that can not be removed from the pool but the kids got used to that. Pool toys were provided as well. TVs in 2 of the bedrooms, the family room, the game room and one outside in the covered outdoor area. My young boys enjoyed watching tv outside as they dried off after swimming in the pool. Tuscon Botanical Gardens are super close. Costco was 5 mins away. Plenty of stores and restaurants within a 5 min drive. West Saguaro National Park is about a 35 min drive. East is closer. It’s about a 40 min drive to the desert Museum. We loved coming back to this cute house every evening. My teenage daughter even approved and that’s a hard approval to get! We highly recommend this home to stay in while you are in Tucson!

Very nice home
Home was clean and ready for our arrival. It was well stocked with dishes and cooking pans. Plenty of Towels in well stocked bathrooms. I have just a few suggestions. Provide extra blankets for cold nights. Wine glasses would be nice. Luggage racks in bedrooms would be helpful. Thanks for a great stay.
