Lazy C Ranch

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Set in three and a half acres of botanical garden quality land and located just a short drive from shopping and city life, this gorgeous, dog-friendly, 1,793 square feet home will be the perfect retreat for a pleasant vacation with your family and closest friends. The location of this home is secluded, however, there are neighbors in the distance. Discover incredible biking and hiking trails nearby. The Sweet Water Reserve is one mile away and has hiking and bike trails. Tucson Mountain Park is two miles away. Golf and fishing are three miles away as well as "The Loop" bike path.

Our first step out of the downtown and midtown historic areas is this stunning residence handcrafted from locally quarried stone set in the Tucson Mountains. History abounds in this circa 1941 Lazy C Ranch Estates home built by local brothers Richard and Robert Canfield. The remarkable quality of construction of this home is on display with thoughtful details in the stonework, huge rough-hewn gable beams, architectural elements, and the noticeable lack of any cracking. It feels absolutely as solid as the day it was built. The parcel could not be any more beautiful with natural plant species, views in every direction, and privacy.

This lovely retreat offers an upper deck, which is the perfect place for guests to view the entire Tucson area, gorgeous sunrises/sunsets and the beautiful Catalina mountains! Unwind in the living room featuring comfortable furniture strategically placed in front of a Smart TV with cable. The quaint desk is ideal for those who need to work or do homework while staying here. The open kitchen/dining space with a pantry is ideal for more formal family meals. The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances, adding a modern touch to your stay. Some of these appliances include a huge French-door fridge, stove, oven, electric oven, a drip coffee maker, dishwasher, and microwave. There are two bedrooms and both are located on complete opposite sides of the home. The primary bedroom has a desk and an en suite full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

Beautiful views and wildlife
The house was just what we were seeking- a desert getaway with a beautiful views and access to wildlife. Roadrunner, quail and javalina were some of the highlights of the visit. The house was very comfortable and had modern fixtures while at the same time giving the feel of stepping into the past. Thank you for a fantastic place to bring my family

Lazy C Ranch is Wonderful
We had a very comfortable, quiet and peaceful stay! Wildlife is abundant, and we saw a kestrel, rabbits and walking past the living room window we also saw some javelinas and a coyote. Beautiful location, surrounded by stunning desert and mountain views.

Desert serenity
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved sitting on the back porch and rooftop for morning coffee and happy hour. It feels like the home is in a cactus botanical garden. We were also treated to a family of javelinas that wondered by on several occasions. The home was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend. We look forward to staying again the next time we are in Tucson

Incredible place to stay
I have been telling friends that this is the rare rental that is so much better in person than what you see online. I think because it's hard to describe being surrounded by the desert beauty. There are huge saguaros right outside the house and we saw a pack of coyotes scamper by and a javelina. It was very beautiful and memorable. Everything was clean as well.

Amazing Stay
Just wanted to drop a quick review on this amazing property we recently stayed at. It was truly magical. The location is ideal, nestled on the rolling hills near Saguaro National Park with dramatic mountain and city view from every angle. The property has mature desert vegetation that the local birds and wildlife like. Had the pleasure of seeing a pack of Javelinas the last day. The house itself has an old Spanish style and charm and was just lovely. We also felt like we had a connection with the owner with all of the flora/fauna books, national park and state park books and maps. Clearly the owner loves nature and exploring and something we also value. We truly loved our time there. Thanks again.

Peaceful Ranch
Our whole family loved the Lazy C Ranch. Clean, full amenities nothing was needed. We cooked, used the oven, refrigerator, and washing machine /dryer. It was a peaceful house with plenty of space in between neighbors/properties. The family enjoyed exploring the fauna and animal life; we saw coyotes, rabbits, birds and quails. Far enough from the “city”, but close enough to the grocery store and eateries (10-15 minutes.) We used the rooftop to see the sun sets, stars and city lights at night. Next time we come by the area, we all agreed we’d return to this rental. Thank you.

Ranch House built in 1941
This property is charming, private and is a wonderful vacation destination. We observed abundant wildlife including coyotes, javelina, deer, jack rabbits, and even a bob cat! The home was nicely decorated in a western theme that added to its charm. Upon arrival we were contacted by the property management agency inquiring if it was clean. The house itself had been cleaned but the kitchen was dirty. The dishes and pans had chunks of food stuck on them. The open shelves needed to be scrubbed. I informed the agency about this and told them that possibly the dishwasher was not working. This would have been a good time for them to tell us it was broken, that a repairman had been out the week before and he would return when the parts came in. We ran the dishwasher not knowing these things and learned it the hard way. Upon contacting the mgt agency about this they offered to check if we could get a partial refund of cleaning fee, but still haven’t seen it. Other concerns were; DSL internet was slow, on line work from this location was problematic. We also had trouble with a pack rat getting into the engine bay of our car. Overall, it was a great location and charming home that needs a little TLC and a better management agency.

Scenic serenity
We loved our stay at the Lazy C ranch. If you love the great outdoors this is the place for you. The area around the home is natural desert so you are surrounded by a multitude of desert plants, with some huge saguaro cactus. Nearest neighbors are about 100 yards away, Sitting on the rooftop taking in sunrises and sunsets we were treated to the serenade of coyotes howling in the distance. We had a parade of javelinas cross through the yard several times. There is fantastic desert hiking close by at sweetwater preserve. If you are a cyclist or runner the Tucson hike and bike trail is also close by. The entire trail system is over 100 miles long. We found the house well furnished for our needs, although we wish they had an outdoor gas barbecue. The only small disappointments we had were there are no window coverings in bathrooms or second bedroom. Windows were high up in bathrooms and you are secluded so not that big a deal, but second bedroom felt a bit like a fishbowl. The other small detractor was extremely low water pressure in showers. We brought it to attention of management company on first day. We were told they would send someone out to fix it, but during our two week stay no one came out. Overall great stay, and would certainly stay there again

Secluded exterior beautiful but…
When we first arrived I thought it was clean but not as clean as I thought. Dust balls under beds like someone dust mopped and left it there. Coffee pot filthy. Exterior was gorgeous desert. But not safe for toddlers or unsuspecting dogs or wheelchairs. Small dinosaurs all over made our 3 granddaughter happy. Our son was happy, too. Lots of birds with families and even jackrabbits Bathtub needed a good scrub along with sink. Overall not for me but if you like seclusion and don’t have any physical limitations you would enjoy.

Desert Oasis
This is an amazing property. A comfortable introduction to the desert environment for a couple from a temperate climate. The land sits on high ground over a wash. There are a great variety of desert plants, birds and animals. This “casa grande” is stone and wood coupled with a modern kitchen and all the amenities for an enjoyable stay. There are interesting surprises awaiting discovery placed around the house. We throughly enjoyed our stay. The only shortcomings was that the bath water faucet was very slow. Water flow elsewhere was fine. For us that cook, an outdoor gas grill would have been perfect. None of that took away from the charm of this place.

Great Home in the Desert
This home has modern updates in the kitchen and bathrooms, but has an authentic "Old Tucson" feel. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could want to cook. We hiked with our dog in the nearby Sweetwater Preserve - wonderful area where you walk amongst the Saguaros. There are deer that hang out on the east side of the house under the mature trees. We also saw coyotes in a dawn walk in the nearby wash. Very comfortable place to stay!

Amazing house in a great location
We loved staying here! The location is perfect-you’re surrounded by the desert and it feels like you’re in the national park. Sunsets and sunrises from the house were breathtaking. The bedrooms are nicely separated and comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you need. But the location is really the best part: a 10 minute drive to great hiking and a 20 minute drive to Saguaro NP. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
