About this property
Damselfly Studio. Contemporary, comfortable retreat with gorgeous views near SNP
With this studio I love to create a home away from home for my guests. It's like a luxurious hotelroom with privacy. 2 min from Saguaro Natl. Park - East. Ideal for hiking, biking and birding. Just outside city limits, overlooking the city with desert and mountain views. Dark night skies, howling coyotes, hooting owls and occasional javelinas. For your info; the studio is next to our casita. See more on this Dragonfly casita on vrbo.com/2504493

Frederika is amazing! Very attentive and accommodating. The Damselfly Casita is a wonderful, quiet, comfortable retreat. The decor is colorful and fun! It is a perfect spot to winddown after enjoying all that Tucson has to offer. Highly recommend staying at the Damselfly!
Our host was absolutely lovely. She greeted us when we arrived and checked in each day to be sure we had ever needed. The studio had traces of her personality and exemplified her love for hosting. Beyond that-the amenities were absolutely outstanding. We didn’t want to leave!
We loved everything about our 6 night stay at Damselfly Studio. Beautiful views, comfortable and clean, super friendly hosts, perfect location, quiet and relaxing, and lots of wildlife. We hope to come back!

Very well appointed studio. Comfy bed and great shower!
The cleanliness was impeccable, I own a cleaning company so I tend to be more critical than most. Our host was so kind and friendly, all the special little touches made us feel at home!
We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The Damselfly studio was roomy, comfortably furnished and very pleasant. We were very close to the Park for hiking and within easy driving distance to restaurants. Fredericka was a very accommodating and friendly host. You will not be disappointed if you stay there!
We wish we could have stayed longer in this spacious, comfortable casita with a view of mountains. Friendly, accessible hostess, nicely decorated, spacious room and private deck.
The studio was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. It was quiet, which made for a good night's sleep. The host was very welcoming. We'll definitely stay here again when visiting Tucson.
Frederika was a wonderful host and her hospitality is top notch! She went above and beyond with amenities! Room was very comfortable and we loved the courtyard area. It is ideal as it is so close to the park.
This is our second year staying at the Damselfly and it was wonderful as always. Fredricka is very responsive and friendly. If you are a fan of nature and wildlife this is the spot for you. The bird-watching game is top notch . The wildlife and environment can't be beat!
Beautiful casita with everything we needed to be comfortable! Lovely outdoor courtyard to view the sunset and a private patio for enjoying the outdoors.
The owners were welcoming and checked in with us to see if we needed anything!
We stayed 3 nights and found it to be very relaxing. Host was very pleasant and loaned me her new coffee press since I don't care for the Keurig. Wish the bed was larger. A queen would be have been perfect.
The property, host, and location were great. The studio was clean and spacious. The property had great indoor and outdoor lounging spaces. Nice views of the mountains with beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The host provided a perfect balance of welcoming availability while giving us space so enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend.
The Damselfly studio was beautiful and the perfect location for our visit to Tucson, Saguaro NP, and Colossal Cave. The studio was exactly as pictured, had many amenities/supplies, and Fredrika and Ari were the most gracious hosts. I could not recommend more!
We enjoyed a wonderful 3-night stay in this quiet desert retreat. The place was spotless, and we found every amenity we might need for a studio stay. We loved the many seating areas, shared courtyard, and enjoyed watching the birds from the back deck. Frederika is a thoughtful host, and it’s obvious she has made the extra effort to make the studio a comfortable getaway. We loved it so much we ended up booking 2 more stays during our time in Tucson!
Hostess is amazing, and went above and beyond. She even supplied some snacks and drinks. Everything you could need was there. The Damselfly Studio was wonderful. Would definitely recommend!
