Desert Pilgrimage

Our group came for the gem show and a late winter respite and found The Blenman Inn the perfect spot for our gathering. Everyone we interacted with was delightful, helpful and went out of their way to make our stay the richly insightful and thoroughly delightful stay that it was. We plan to make this an annual visit and are very grateful.

Amazing stay

We couldn't have been happier with this house. We had 11 family members together for a long weekend in Tucson and this house was the perfect gathering place. Huge, beautiful, comfortable and the perfect location. We could walk to many good restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The pool and hot tub was a great place for everyone to hang out. We loved it!

Tucson

Location and staff are great and very helpful, bedrooms are very spacious...however, if renting the entire place (7 bedrooms and 7 baths) please note, kitchen could use some attention to cleanliness of pots, pans, utensils, etc. The kitchen is not adequate if your party is expecting a gourmet equipped facility.

Our large family was visiting Tucson for an even larger family reunion. Staying in the gorgeous historic Adobe Victorian Blenman House together as a family was WONDERFUL!! Added so much to our time there! The front porch and pool were awesome! Great comfort and beauty throughout... we all loved it!!

Perfect wedding

We needed a large house for our extended family to stay in while celebrating our son's wedding in Tucson. The Blenman House was perfect. We enjoyed spending time chatting on the front porch and the central living area, and hanging out by the pool. We especially loved seeing the cats each day. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The location was within walking distance of restaurants, arts/music, and shopping, so we were able to find something fun for people from age 16 to 82 to do. Convenient parking, too. Our hosts were very helpful assisting with delivery of oxygen equipment for a family member. Thank you!

Family reunion at Blenman House

This is a beautiful historic home with a location downtown that can’t be beat. Our family of 16 prepared many of our own meals in the well equipped kitchen, and also enjoyed special meals out in downtown restaurants. One night we all took in a musical at the Temple of Music and Art two blocks away. The bedrooms are spacious and lovely. We had a great week together here.

Loved this historic home and its location

This home is beautiful. So much to look at in every room. My family stayed here for my brother's wedding weekend. His reception was at the Scottish Rite Cathedral next door - the location cannot be beat! We loved staying in this home and we were all very comfortable. Thank you BJ for being a great host!

Family reunion

Our family of 13 were very comfortable in this beautiful house. It was very convenient to downtown which was within walking distance. Children enjoyed the pool even in December and everyone appreciated the spa after a day of hiking or biking. Be sure you I know the difference Bremen renting the house as an inn and renting as a B and B.
