The Cactus House

A cozy and comfortable 1950's Bohemian gem near mid-town with living room, kitchen, dining room, and laundry.

It includes two bedrooms with Queen Beds: one is firmer and the other, softer. The couch in the living room does have a full size hide-a-bed mattress.

Kitchen appliances include microwave, dishwasher, stovetop with oven, full refrigerator with freezer, and garbage disposal. Small appliances include drip coffee maker, blender, crockpot, handmixer, citrus juicer, personal size waffle maker, and toaster. We also stock some pots and pans, measuring utensils, mixing bowls, etc for baking and cooking.

Backyard covered patio has outdoor lighting, table/chairs, and installed shade screens to block east and west sun for sitting outside any time of the day.

Front and backyards feature a variety of desert plants which include small barrel and young saguaro, 12' night blooming cereus, prickly pear, and organ pipe cacti as well as mesquite trees, creosote bush, aloe, ocotillo, agave, jojoba, and more.

We provide a Roku TV with assorted free channels and an antenna that picks up about 50 other channels, as well as a DVD/VCR player. You will find an assortment of games and jigsaw puzzles in the cabinet in the dining room, a variety of books in the bookcase, and an antique style desk by the south window in the living room.

Visit my guidebook for recommended eateries, activities, interests, and sceneries. Feel free to contact me for any information to make your stay in Tucson more enjoyable. I love to be of assistance.
