Scenic property
Arrived late at night and Lou was kind enough to leave the door unlocked for us. The Bunkhouse is cute and comfortable with basic necessities. Was nice sitting on the deck watching wildlife. Cons: busy road close by and a lot of neighborhood dogs barking day/night. No big deal as it didn’t ruin our time.

Perfect for us
This is a wonderful rental accommodation if you are looking for a quiet , out of the way place. Large yard, deck to watch the sunset and wildlife, very clean cozy accommodation with well stocked kitchen and linen closet. Close to hiking near by at Saguaro National park.. Both hosts were very accommodating, friendly and very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to come back here.

Desert Hiking
A well maintained mini home in a great spot to be close to the Hugh Norris trailhead. The hosts were very welcoming and the orange and grapefruit trees were a nice bonus. The corner store just down the road is well stocked and saved a trip back into Tucson for groceries.

It's a slice of paradise where time stands still, inviting you to relax, recharge, and savor the simple pleasures of life. Can’t wait to be back in 2026!!!

Desert gem
If you're looking for a place with a rural feel and quick access to west Seguaro, this is it. We really enjoyed mornings and evenings on the large porch watching wildlife.

About the host

Hosted by Lou Medran

Host profile image
Longtime Tucson residents that love desert living and the outdoors. Ozzie moved here 19 years ago from the east coast and would not trade living in the desert for anywhere else.
I simply love it here.

Why they chose this property

Quiet picturesque setting. We enjoy tranquil days and amazing starry nights in the heart of the Tucson Mountains. Enjoy bird watching for hummingbirds, eagles, owls, woodpeckers, quail and if you're really lucky... a Roadrunner... Beep Beep! We're close to Old Tucson Studios, Saguaro National Park, The Ironwood National Monument, and a easy day trip away from world famous Tombstone, Tubac art community, Bisbee, a mining town known for its blue turquoise, Colossal Cave and many more. Come for one of our many festivals, The world-famous Tucson Gem and Mineral show, Mariachi Festival, El Tour de Tucson bicycle race, The Fiesta De Los Vaqueros Tucson Rodeo and Rex Allen Days in Wilcox Az. to name a few. Whatever you reason for visiting southern Arizona we think you'll enjoy our hospitality and peaceful setting.

What makes this property unique

Owners would love to take you on guided morning hikes through The Tucson Mountains, visiting abandoned mines and ancient Indian petroglyphs. Relax by the pool or snooze in the hammock under a huge ironwood tree or enjoy the sunsets from the large front porch see coyote, quail, rabbits and if you're really fortunate maybe even a bobcat. Bird watch, pick fresh oranges & grapefruit to enjoy for breakfast.
