MiraMontes guests frequently comment how well they sleep - better than they can ever remember. Must be the peace and quiet, fresh mountain air and comfortable beds. MiraMontes itself has approx. 2250 sq ft indoor space with at least that much again in verandas and decks, set on 12 acres with Catalina State Park and mountains as a backdrop. MiraMontes views include 20,000 acres of mountain without a neighbor in sight. Yet MiraMontes is just 5-10 minutes from a gas station, grocery store, golf, and restaurants. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom...the Master bedroom opens to the pool enclosure. The master bedroom bathroom with its enormous shower tiled with travertine has a mountain view. A third bedroom with private bathroom is available upon request. Please contact the owner for details Between the bedroom suites is an adequate well-stocked linen cupboard.. . The dining table with black leather high-backed chairs seats 8-10 comfortably. Patio furniture can easily be configured to seat 4, 6 or 10 guests for dinner..an ambience you and your guests will never forget. All kitchen appliances are electric. A gas-burning grill is on the Patio for those who enjoy barbecues. From Miramontes one can hike in any direction. Up the mountain, along the wash, down the hill - it is all lovely. MiraMontes offers exceptional bird watching. Quail, falcons, hawks, owls, vultures, the occasional eagle. Cactus wrens abound. Even year-round hummingbirds. Roadrunners are frequent visitors. MiraMontes' easterly orientation catches the warm morning sun. The verandas provide shade during the midday and afternoon glare. Great for entertaining especially as the sun goes down - Sundowner time is always special at MiraMontes. Sunsets transform the mountain to a pink glow. the moon rises and the stars come out... Imagine the resident pair of great-horned owls calling gently to each other; the musical sound of a distant coyote yelping party. An occasional nocturnal owl, kit fox or havelina sighting is enough to change the subject of almost any conversation. The aroma of woodsmoke is especially seductive under Arizona night sky illuminated by the brightest stars. Miramontes has an indoor beehive fireplace and an outdoor woodburning fireplace especially enjoyable by star - or moonlight.. Miramontes is listed as 'wheelchair-accessible.' All rooms are on the same floor and the flooring is travertine which facilitates indoor wheelchair manoevering. The grounds, surroundings and hikes are not at all wheelchair-accessible however. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Music library - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Categorically no smoking please ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the city centre - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 2,250 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, DVD player, video library](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104860000/104850400/104850349/42b399e8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Serene SaddleBrooke Getaway – Private Patio, Resort Amenities & Views Saddlebrooke - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=104850349&PinnedHotelID=104850349&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22230000/22223000/22222969/5b5ee51e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tucson Hilltop Oasis Catalina - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 90 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=22222969&PinnedHotelID=22222969&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66450000/66444700/66444632/8ded2ac8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Caballo Pass welcomes you to Oro Valley with incredible mountain views.

If peace and quiet and wonderful mountain views are what you're looking for, this is the place. Wildlife abounds, lots of hiking options within a short drive, along with many fun places to visit. Elma is the nicest host we have had the pleasure of meeting, and our family has been renting vacation homes for 10 plus years now! Her home is perfect for 2 or 3 couples to enjoy time out in the Arizona wilds. Pool, hot tub, stargazing, wonderful sunsets, and so quiet you might wonder if the world has come to a stop...lol! ##### Dennis F.

We had a rental car and would recommend a small suv as a better option for most people but you can drive a car in there so long as it’s dry. House is gorgeous, pool is not heated but we took a swim in February because we couldn’t pass it up. Hot tub allows you to sit out under the stars.

What wonderful people. Second, the house is situated far off the main roads allowing for privacy, serenity and enjoyment of the spectacular mountains that are right there. The patio, nice pool, upper deck on the house and the new hot tub by the pool all face the mountains. Viewing the spectacular sunsets, sunrises and nighttime sky (stars and planets) were a great way to start and end the day. The house is comfy and well appointed. ##### donna t.

We stayed at MiraMontes for a month and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The mountain views from the house were spectacular as well as the colorful sunsets. The house itself was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The kitchen was a chef's dream. We ended up cooking most of our meals and the outside grill came in very handy. Our host, Elma, was a delight and very responsive to our needs. We would highly recommend MiraMontes for those considering a relaxing, private setting with all the amenities.

Stayed 28 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy S., Minneapolis, MN 19 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Mountain Getaway This is a hidden gem. Nestled in the Catalina foothills, the view of the mountains and the dessert is unforgettable. We enjoyed our coffee on the back patio each morning watching the sun come up over the mountains. Evenings spent BBQing, relaxing in the hot tub and, well, the sunset is spectacular from this property. Hiking or biking at Catalina State Park, Saguaro National Park, visiting the Biosphere2 or the Observatory on Mt Lemon are only a short distance away. Tucson's Botanical Garden or shopping for art in Tubac are an easy day trip. But foremost, the home is warm and inviting. The house is fully stocked. Kitchen items, laundry, pool, everything you might need. The beds (and pillows) were comfortable. There is a large TV and a wonderful stereo system. If you are able to meet Elma, the owner, you will know why this house is so special. She and her husband clearly cared for this home with love. This is one of the best properties we have stayed (and we have traveled a lot) and I can highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. ##### Kathy S.

It is perched on a hill with an incredible view of the Catalinas. Elma took excellent care of us and quickly addressed any of the small issues we had. Our bed, though listed as a queen is actually larger though I don't think it is a king either. It was very comfortable. Everything in the bathroom worked well. The kitchen is the best equipped of any rental in which we have stayed. Over the past few years that's about 10 different places, three in the Tucson area. I enjoy cooking and found the kitchen a pleasure to use. Sit outside in the shade of the back terrace and nature comes to you. We saw a few hawks, numerous other birds including flickers, hummingbirds and quail and turkey vultures riding the winds. Deer and coyotes wandered by. When we stayed it was a bit too cool to jump in the pool but as a foreground to the Catalina views it was excellent. We hope we can stay here again in the future. ##### Michael M.

This property is as close to ideal (for me, at least) as I could get. Background: I've been companion to my Mother in her 90s the past 1+ year--with COVID it's hard for her to do shopping, run errands, and keep the household purring smoothly without help--it's an honor and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be there but leaving my separate adult life and profession and sunny West for smalltown New England has taken a toll and I was cold and exhausted. What I wanted was absolute solitude, peace, quietude, inspiring beautiful nature, sunshine and hot hot heat, unfussy elegant interior decor, a well-equipped kitchen to cook up superb meals, no responsibilities, easy access to groceries, ziplining, art museums, horeseback riding, and a POOL and hottub so I could spend most days sleeping late, being awakened by birds, having a strong coffee and breakfast on the terrace, and basically all day read and go from hottub to pool to reading to hottub to pool to dozing.... It was astonishing. At night the telescope in the livingroom came in handy for viewing the Leonids AND lunar eclipse. By day birds of all sorts (from hawks to hummingbirds) came to visit the pool and I pretended me. The bed was a dreambed or comfort. The giant shower was amazing. Every single thing I wanted or needed was there in the kitchen, including cast iron pan set--perfectly seasoned and ready to roll--for meal after meal. I just loved the place so much, and bonus is that it comes with Elma and Hans, the latter of whom happened to be at the house when I arrived to greet me and show me around--a witty, conscientious, and kind seeming man. Elma was available to lend a hand with a few little things, like re-setting the modem. She is extraordinary and much like the house itself, it seemed we had been acquainted before--and like the house itself, she's comfortable, elegant, unpretentious, intelligent, and interesting. I have been back in New England for 3 days now but the Tucson house and landscape are still etched into my brain. I miss it tremendously, the morning doves who'd come to call, floating in the pool looking at clouds listening to Hank Williams, the "free-range" cattle who lumber nearby lowing and eating palo verde trees branches. Spectacular stay. Spectacular house. Spectacular experience. Just wow... ##### Susan D.

The home was well stocked with everything you might need. Honestly it was the best stocked home we have ever stayed in. The drive back to the property is a little rugged but a car should be able to handle it. The infinity edge pool over looking the mountains was majestic. Hans and Elma were the best hosts. 5 Star Property. ##### Darrel R. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021
