Elegant magical rustic round house by Saguaro National Park

Imagine being in a story book round house with turqoise and golden floors, set on 2.5 acres of Sonoran desert facing the Tucson Mountains. Having lived our lives here in the desert, we newly renovated our family adobe block home ourselves, as artists and builders, to capture what we love about the desert and the local culture. It is earthy and elegant, like a yurt inside, one big open and spacious room with a stunning wood ceiling. Only the bathroom is separate with a beautiful Moroccan Tadelakt walk-in shower and claw foot tub. The full kitchen has a Mexican Talavera tile counter top, full sized refrigerator, stocked with all the basics, espresso machine, and many amenities.
The backyard is fully fenced with a ramada for shade, a fire pit, and a propane barbecue.
The desert property is filled with saguaro cactus, and native plants. You can enjoy a meal under the ironwood tree, watching the sunsets or mountains . Perfect for astronomers and night sky enthusiasts as this is a dark sky designated area with the world famous Kitt Peak Observatory less than 50 miles away. Great for hikers with Saguaro National Park trails within minutes , and many cycling and mountain biking opportunities.
The Sonoran Desert Museum is 6 minutes away. Old Tucson , once a Film Studio for over 300 Western Movies , now a theme park, is a 15 minute drive through the park. Iron Wood National Monument is a 15 minute drive to the west for wide open uninhabited desert experiences and hikes with ancient petroglyphs.
Downtown Tucson is only 30 minutes away and Tucson International airport is also only 40 minutes away. The Tucson Mountains separate this home from the city so you’re able to enjoy the peace of the desert yet still “go to town”. Plenty of private parking including trailer and or an RV.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Saguaro National Park. You'll find features such as laundry facilities. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the holiday home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and fireplace
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Just a 1-minute drive from Saguaro National Park and 6 minutes from Sus Picnic Area
Elegant magical rustic round house by Saguaro National Park offers its guests barbecue grills and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

Could not imagine better place to stay for hiking in Saguaro National Park

Our family stayed here for one week on a hiking trip in Saguaro Park. There are many trails close by, and the best is, that house is surrounded by the same scenery like inside of the park with saguaro a few feet from the back porch dining table. Weather was warmer than usual, but the concrete floor, brick walls and silver roof kept the house cool. We did not need to run A/C at all. Very authentic and beautiful place. I did enjoy the espresso machine, because coffee is important. We also toured Kitt Peak observatory and Titan 2 intercontinental ballistic missile site museum.I would also recommend driving for sunsets to The Red Hills Visitor Center or Dessert Discovery Trail. After sunset, the sky at the house is so dark, with many stars and there is almost always some satellite visible by plain eye.Host is very friendly and knowledgeable of the surrounding area.

Great Desert Getaway

We loved our stay! It was perfect for my husband and I - we loved the unique, rustic aspects with all the necessary comforts. It was so close to the scenic Saguaro National Park, and a short drive into Tucson. We enjoyed sunsets next to an outdoor fire, and wandering through the desert landscapes on property. Diane was a great and helpful host!

Beautiful Home

My husband and I booked this home for a little get-a-way. The sunsets are beautiful and enjoyed our evening walks. The home was beautiful,spacious, and clean. I loved how everything in the round house was round too! Instructions were easy. Everything we needed to cook with was in the kitchen. We will definitely be back.
