Wonderful stay in quiet cul-de-sac
We had a fantastic stay! What a beautiful home with wonderful history! So many lovely details to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Everything was very clean and tidy. New fluffy towels for bathroom and pool area. Kitchen was well appointed. Lots of room for all of us. And we appreciated the pool on these very hot days that Arizona is known for. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much! 🙏💕

Lovely home in quiet neighborhood
We stayed for a weekend in the summer. The house AC worked great and the pool was amazing. This home is very well decorated and stocked. The water pressure was great and the beds were all very comfortable. There is ample parking including covered parking. The property has great privacy and is located on a col de sac. Lovely back yard that our doggies enjoyed. I would highly recommend this place. We will stay here again for sure.

We (self, spouse, and 2 adult children) stayed at this property for 5 nights, April 3 - April 8, 2024. The property was very clean, comfortable, and well decorated and appointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very much at home. It was perfect and I can't think of any needed improvements. We would happily stay there again. Laurie

Cute and close to everything
Spent the week here with my parents, husband and 7yo son, everyone loved the retro vibe of the house, and while the pool was a lil cold for me (it was February) that didn't stop my son from using it and having a great time! Ron stopped by the house 1 day to check on the pool and provided us with a lot of great things to do in the area. The location was great, was close to just about everything and was a nice quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again in the future!

We were here for 19 wonderful nights during the annual Tucson Mineral and Fossil Show. The house was immaculate, the kitchen amazing, the beds comfortable. Ron, the property manager, was very helpful. This is a very special property with an interesting history. We look forward to our stay in 2025!

Loved it
We really enjoyed our stay at this unique and funky house, clean, comfortable, great back yard. Even good bike storage in the breezeway. The Kitchen is even better than the photos, nicely stocked with equipment and spices. Much appreciated. Loved the history of the "Gem House". My husband said it's one of his favorites and we have stayed in a ton of VRBO's around the world in some amazing places. But, he was just that comfortable there that he ranked it super high. Thanks for preserving the this mid century gem.

Tuscon is great!!
This neighborhood was quiet, maybe a bit sketchy. Watch when driving, stop signs at crossings were not obeyed… almost got t-boned. House itself was awesome….retro vibe. Anyone over 5’6 will not like the showers,,,, very low. Solar heated pool…. Misrepresented …. No solar cover…. No solar heat even with the lovely weather. This house was close to everything we wanted to do. Easy to get in touch with the owner!!!

Great property
This was an excellent space--so easy to get to places we wanted to visit. Necessary stores nearby. Great place for our two dogs, as well. The dog space has plenty of room, so they could run around. It was quiet. And it was well-stocked with what we needed to do our own cooking when we wanted. Would highly recommend this property! Thank you!
