Roger's place was great for us. It is clean, well stocked and comfortable. There were plenty of coffee pods and even laundry soap. The mountain views are wonderful. Highly recommended for an out of town stay.
Excellent all around! Clean, quiet, and wonderful location! We had everything we needed and Roger was quick to get back to us if we had any questions. Quick drive to great hiking and biking. Thank you Roger- we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Relaxing and peaceful
We had a great stay! The Thornvolds were awesome hosts who know the area well. There’s also a small family of Javelinas that stay on the hillside if you’re lucky enough to spot them. We look forward to coming back again next year when we’re in town for the gem show. Thanks again for a great stay!
We had a lovely stay for a few days during the Tucson gem show. It was extremely clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The loft cottage was well appointed and had obviously been built with care. Thank you, Roger, for a wonderful place to call home temporarily!
This is a unique property that is clean and well designed. I enjoyed sitting on the patio(s) for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. It is located within a few hundred yards of some of the best local mountain biking and walking trails. This is a rural area that offers a great alternative to staying in Tucson. Highly recommend.
We stayed here for 5 days and used it as a base to visit the Greater Tuscon area. The place was very well furnished and spotless. Comfortable and cozy. It is far enough from the busy city, yet close to have everything you need nearby. We would definitely stay here again. While it does require that you drive on unpaved roads, the roads are crushed stone and in good condition.
I can't do anything but rave about this spot! 5 stars on all fronts, very nice and secluded, very well stocked, and comfortable bed! I will be coming back ASAP. Even as a Tucson local, this was the perfect distance to feel like I got away without having to make the time, travel, and cost of going to Phoenix. Well worth every penny!
This place was perfect for what we needed. It was clean, comfortable, cozy, and quiet. We particularly enjoyed watching the wildlife including all the colorful birds and the javelina. Roger was a great host and he keeps his property up nice. The only reason I didn't give it five stars for location was because of the dusty roads to get up there and the stairs are tough on older folks. Otherwise this is a great place.
We were visiting family in Oro Valley. This was our first time using VRBO. I had some initial questions before we arrived and Roger answered promptly. He was a great host! This little place was just what we wanted- and we enjoyed staying here. Very clean and equipped with everything we needed. It is a little tricky to get to as others have said. It’s close to some nice hiking trails. The view from the balcony was spectacular! So happy we stayed here!
Everything was as listed or better. Reviews talk about the road not being paved, take your time and you'll be fine, it's the desert. Fridge was smaller but big enough for 4 days of meals with a very large grocery store well within 5 minutes. There are a few houses around but the home is up high enough you can see over them and see the Catalina mountains. Go ahead and book it!There
Great get away location away from city noise. Not a paved road getting close to location but our little car did ok. Its a sudio set up, not a 1 bedroom. Worked great with balconies to enjoy the view and outdoors. Bird watching was fun.
Refrigerator very small if staying several days. Wish we could have made ice for drinks.
It's a little tricky to find the property, and the roads there are not paved, but that makes it a nice secluded spot. There is a flight of fairly steep steps to climb so be aware of that. The room itself is clean and the bed is comfortable. The kitchen has all the essentials. But the best part is the view of the mountains while we sat on the deck and drank our coffee.
This was exactly what we were looking for in a several day get away in a quiet setting. The room was exceptionally clean and very well supplied, including water bottles and coffee machine cups. We enjoyed sitting on each of the two outside decks, watching 25 different birds in this desert landscape. The hosts were very pleasant. On future travels to this area we would likely return. It may be helpful to be aware that the unit is without wifi, and requires climbing 15 outside steps to access the unit.
Gorgeous peaceful spot. Loved sitting on the porch every morning drinking coffee and watching birds. The apartment is spotless, comfortable, nicely decorated . Roger and his wife were friendly helpful and all around wonderful.
Great place to stay. Perfect for 2 people. Roomy and quiet. Desert plants and trees keep the place cool and attract local wild life. Highly recommend, would stay again.
This property is a great place to stay. It’s clean and airy with bamboo and tile flooring, and up to date fixtures along with the large windows with a view of the Catalina Mountains that you can’t get at the large developments and resorts. Two decks, one for morning coffee looking at the mountains and the other for dinner watching the javelinas . We enjoyed our stay and we want to return.
