Three months at the Tohono O'odham House went by way too fast. The location was perfect for us and felt very safe. Whole Foods, Walgreens, the University and a great art film theater, all within a mile.The kitchen is well stocked and there's a ton of literature describing local attractions. The beds were comfortable and back yard, very private. Host, Kevin, a charming fellow, clearly wants guests to enjoy their time in Tucson. We wouldn't hesitate to return here. It was perfect for us.

We had a wonderful first experience with VRBO thanks to this amazing rental. The house had everything we needed—and more! We were pleasantly surprised by the abundance of amenities. The spacious backyard offers several seating areas, making it perfect for relaxing and socializing. Kevin was the perfect host from start to finish. We look forward to returning to this special getaway!

Really great rental with all the amenities you need...and more. Kevin really thought of everything. Home was "homey" in the best way possible. The house is close to a ton of amenities, in a quiet neighborhood with a great coffee shop within walking distance. Bed was comfortable, and the place very clean...two things that are hard to tell when booking. Even with Kevin being out of state, he was very accessible to communicate with.

We stayed 3 nights in October. Kevin's place was just perfect. He has thought of so many little things that made the stay so unique. Not the least of which was the fully stocked fridge! We wish we had more time to enjoy the backyard fire pit. Thanks for a most excellent stay!

We’ve stayed in rentals all over the world, and this one instantly became one of our favorites. I’ve always been a little hesitant about Tucson, but this area, and especially this historic landmark, completely won us over. The house is decorated so beautifully to match the era it was built, and you can feel the thought put into every detail. Nothing was missing, whether it was cooking, cleaning, or just enjoying a drink, it had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Initially you walk in and you think its tiny, but keep going and you are constantly surprised. Thank you Kevin, we are so bummed we cannot stay during Parents weekend because it's already rented, but 5 out of 5 starts for sure.
