Mountain View’s. Stunning Sunset’s. Outdoor Activities. Minutes From Downtown.

Relax. Wind down. Kick back.
at our "Desert Steampunk Studio," located in beautiful Southern Arizona (Tucson). The newly built space has Italian tiled floors, a paint pallet inspired by the 1920s Great Gatsby era, and southwestern furniture for an iconic golden age feel. The location is a rural hat-trick sitting on the edge of a natural desert valley with beautiful mountain views and stunning sunsets. It is close to fantastic desert hikes and minutes from downtown Tucson, the University of Arizona, and some of the territory's best restaurants. It's truly a unique desert stay!

pleasant and convenient with friendly host

This room was quiet, comfortable, spacious, and clean. Convenient location near food and tourist destinations. Milan was very welcoming and helpful, and supplied us with some excellent snacks. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio for coffee in the morning and sunsets in the evening. The place was a little hard to find after dark, as it is in an unlit neighborhood(a nice thing!) and the street signs are old and dim, so I recommend arriving during daylight. We would stay here again.

Wonderful surroundings

The sunset view is the best in Tucson, I think.The patio looks over a wash full of natural beauty with no nearby lights and just natural sounds. An owl lives next door and hoots at night. The neighborhood is quiet.Our hosts were full of advice for activities and went out of their way to accommodate us.We had a great time there!

Great Location and host.

The written and photographic descriptions are accurate. We are from Canada's east coast and found Tucson's >100°F heat uncomfortable We were in Touson for a family illness and the host, while remaining unobstrusive, demonstrated empathy to us and was genuinely helpful. We would definitely stay there again. uncomfortable.wauncomfortafortable.

Business Trip in Tucson

We rented this lovely place while in Tucson for a week. It was immaculate and well stocked. The location was ideal, just out of the bustle of the city yet very convenient. The hosts wee amazing, considerate and very friendly. It is our go-to place whenever in Tucson.

Shawn was an outstanding host. Always willing to help and suggested so many places to visit and experience during our fourteen days. There were many things we would not have thought of to do without Shawn's knowledge and thoughtfulness. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect spot

This place is just the right distance outside of Tucson, but handy to everything. The patio looks out over in Arroyo to the west. Really beautiful. Because it’s at the edge of town, it is much more peaceful.

Overall it was a nice little place to stay for the price. It was clean and close to outdoor parks and the city. The picture is angled to show just the mountains but does not show trash cans and trailer on the other side.

Ideal couples retreat

Beautiful sunset vista. Quiet, convenient to area activities (we used it as a base for hiking west and east Saguaro National Park, Santa Rita and Santa Catalina mountains). Fun eating options, super clean, spacious. Modern kitchen and bath. Romantic fire ring with plenty of wood supplied. Responsive host. Relaxing weeklong stay. Highly recommended.
