My wife and I enjoyed our two week stay at the Cozy Desert Hideaway. The host, Kristine, was fantastic with very prompt communications and the her cleaning specialist made a mid-stay refresh. The place offered wild life sightings and was located near the Desert Museum and the Saguaro National Park (west). Would definitely stay again.

The property was extremely clean and we especially appreciated the comfortable furniture. It's the number one feature we look for in a property. Not all the windows have screens on them, which made it difficult to open up the house for the wonderfully cool evenings.

Tucson area getaway

We prefer to stay in out of the way, quiet, more remote areas. This property was perfect! The location was very close to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and all the hiking trails in the west section of the Saguaro Natl Park. Easy enough access to Tucson.

Exquisite Desert Setting

We loved sitting in the patio, front and back, and listening to the birds and looking at the clouds. The saguaro happened to be blooming and the Common Blackhawk returned for spring activities. Hiking trails are close by and beautiful. A wonderful time.

Desert Retreat

With a comfortable living room and front and back patios there was plenty of space to relax and enjoy the warm sunshine, amazing sunsets, and twinkling stars. The host was easily accessible and the property was well cared for. The property was close to several attractions (Saguaro Nat. Park, Desert Museum, Old Tucson and lots of hiking trails). Tucson and city activities were a bit of a drive but the scenery was always beautiful!

The home was very clean, nice amenities, comfortable beds, nice towels. The weather was hot, low 90’s, the air conditioning did not keep the cottage even close to cool. We would have opened the windows but most windows did not have screens so we couldn’t open them without a lot of insects coming in. The sliding glass door to the screened porch is hard to open/close. The steps into both the front and back doors are very narrow. The fenced backyard is okay except both dogs stepped on cholla requiring tweezers to remove the spines. Pet owners should be encouraged to bring booties to protect the dogs paws.

Stars, wildlife, and sajuaroJust Wildlife, sajuaro, and stars. Just what we hoped for!

Home is well situated for two couples. Be prepared for a drive because it's a way out, which we expected. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets comfy beds, great hot water and water pressure .We ate in a lot and the kitchen and dining room are fine. Don't expect fancy. This is a basic, comfy place for a quiet stay in the desert.

If you like the desert . . .

My wife and I have been coming to Tucson in the spring for many years, and we always look for secluded homes in the desert. This one was the best in that regard. The desert around it is outstanding. On the inside, furnishings are basic but clean - more than suitable for our needs. We were extremely impressed with how well the house was provisioned, right down to hand cream and toothpaste. And finally, Kristine was an excellent host and very responsive - we had a bad windstorm one day that blew a panel on the front awning loose, and when I messaged her about it, she was there in five minutes to fix it. We are definitely planning on a return visit next spring.

Would Stay Again

The property is tucked away in the perfect little desert oasis. In the morning, you will be able to enjoy watching the wildlife - little rabbits, lizards, quails, tons of birds scurrying about. It is quiet, secluded, and if you take the drive alongside the national park to get there - you get the bonus of enjoying the majestic site seeing. The host is very responsive, pleasant, informative. The place was very clean. Two bedroom was perfect for myself and my mom who went on a little girls trip. We each had our own space. Fans are in each room, comfortable beds. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a little getaway.

For desert lovers like us, this place is ideal. It is clean and well equipped, and the desert surrounding it is wonderful. And Kristine is a marvelous host - I had a minor emergency one evening, and she responded immediately. We have stayed here twice, and I imagine we will do so many more times in the future.
