Perfect Rural Neighborhood Stay
This is a lovely property, set among rolling hills and desert, but on a lovely small street with neighbors. House is spacious, with wonderful light coming through windows in kitchen and living room. It is a real treat to sit and eat at the kitchen table and look out at the lovely view. Off of living room is the backyard patio, also with exquisite views. Living room has two couches to lay and read on, plus a comfortable chair and ottoman. Kitchen is well-stocked with plenty of dishes, mugs, glasses, and silverware. Also there are plenty of bath towels and washcloths, toilet paper, etc, The little street is easy to walk on with beautiful views; and within a short drive there are easy lovely hiking trails; as well as, a long paved walking path along a small road. We took an easy drive to Tubac and Tumacacori. So much to do and see; as well as a perfect house to relax in.

Relaxing and Enjoyable Stay
The property is as described. It is a little more remote then we thought, however, once we got our bearings we thoroughly enjoyed our time. The birds were fabulous, we didn’t realize we were in a prime location for bird watching. We purchased some suet at the bird store in Tubac at sat back a watched the action. If you are a bird enthusiast this is the place, one suggestion would be to have an Arizona Bird book available and a hummingbird feeder and seed available would be great! We also thoroughly enjoyed the pizza at the Del Rancho pizza place 5 min down the road! We also throughly enjoyed the Juan Barista Trail, which can be accessed at various points, including the trail just off the exit, Palo Parado. We didn’t find the community pool, although we didn’t ask about it, it would be helpful to have that info available. Tubac was wonderful, the Tubac Golf course was great and we had an amazing dining experience at Elvira’s, highly recommended. We would definitely return to this property.

Advertised as having two queen beds in a room, two twins beds in a room and a queen bed in the master. But there was only two beds in the house. Cots do not counts as a twin or a queen bed!!!! Otherwise all was great!

Great getaway
My husband, furbaby and I were very comfortable in Maryann's property. The home is well furnished and the master bed was very comfortable. The views are outstanding and we had a wonderful time taking walks and watching a variety of birds that visited the property. Maryann is a wonderful hostess. She even brought us amazing blueberries.

Arizona Hiking
The property was in an excellent location. There was a beautiful hike within 3 miles called the Anza trail. Madera canyon was not far and Patagonia hiking was awesome. The house and property was in an awesome location. Very clean and private. We were very happy with our stay.

Peace in the Desert
So thankful that this property turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. We so much enjoyed being able to walk on the surrounding streets nearly void of traffic with our dogs. The house was comfortable and our host, MaryAnn did everything she could to make our stay enjoyable. We had some amazing sunsets, along with some cows who came to visit and a coyote. Saw a bobcat and several roadrunners too. Rio Rico is a wonderful area full of wildlife. I found a hummingbird feeder under the sink, made up some nectar and had hummingbirds drinking it within two hours. Many different varieties. A bird watchers mecca. Thanks, MaryAnn for opening up this home to us.

We had a great experience with the house and the owner. We were there for 10 days for my sons allstar tournament. The owner was very kind and understanding of our needs during that week of baseball. We would stay again if we ever find ourself in that area again:) we were very pleased.

A great stay!
We enjoyed our stay and were very happy with the house and all it had to offer us. We spent time on the patio every day and enjoyed the incredible amount of bird activity! The views were outstanding and were everywhere you looked. Our dog also enjoyed the freedom of a fenced in yard ! The neighbors were wonderful-very friendly. Maryann was also great! Very helpful and informative. We enjoyed the location-very easy to get to wherever you wanted to go, but also out of the hubbub of lots of traffic and noise. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

A great winter
This property was more than we had hoped. We had not expected the semi-remoteness at first but welcomed the serenity very quickly. The desert was beautiful and full of surprises...the wildlife and birds were awesome. Great walking everyday. Great and easy shopping at either Nogales or Green Valley. Exploring the area was quick and easy. Maryann was sooo helpful and communicative in all our endeavours. We had an awesome winter getaway.

Nice place but needs some deep cleaning. Location is quiet away from lights and traffic with good views. While staying we had three days of rain and having an attached garage was a wonderful.

Quiet location, spacious home with breathtaking mountain views.
Our rental was a very positive experience. The home was large, airy, with all the amenities needed for a two month stay. The mountain and arroyo views were beautiful. The animal and bird life we had at our door step was great fun to observe (colorful birds each day at the seed feeders near the back porch, quail of many colors and types, pecked at the stones below the feeder, a roadrunner came almost every day to peck at his image in the slider glass on the porch, rabbits hopped by beyond the fences of the large back yard, and many other desert creatures went by as well). Mary Ann was a very attentive hostess, providing bird seed, maps, brochures of local attractions, extra paper products, improving the TV connection to assure we would not miss the World Series or any other TV programs! At first it seemed somewhat isolated from amenities, but we learned within two days to navigate for 10 minutes or so to almost all the places needed, whether stores, restaurants or local attractions. The room layout was such that we could have company stay over with ease in the spare bedroom and bath, use the study for computer work or quiet reading, have dinners in the sizable kitchen or the table and chairs on the covered porch and never feel we were falling over each other. The kitchen was well equipped for full meals with lots of spices and dry goods in the pantry unit. We highly recommend this home for anyone seeking a beautiful, restful vacation spot.

Beautiful Home In Relaxing Surroundings
This wonderfully furnished home is easy to get to, along with a get-a-way feel. Not only is the inside comfortable, the outdoor space adds to a completely enjoyable & relaxing stay. It was such a delight having a home like this to end up at after a day of adventure & exploring. The homeowner, Maryann, is awesome to deal with. I highly recommend this property.

Great location, roomy home.
Out in the country, safe and quiet location. Plenty of room, well equipped kitchen, nice seating area in the back. Internet did not work which was fine with me. Great central air. Hostess was very helpful and accommodating, even did family research for us before we arrived (this was a family trip back to our roots). I would stay again. Thanks for everything Maryann!

Quiet and peaceful, lovely mountain views.
Pros: In a very quiet, peaceful area. Lovely mountain views. House is clean, everything in working order. Garage is very nice for your car. Maryann lives close by and is very attentive and responsive to any issues. Stars are beautiful at night. Close to HIGHWAY 19 which is the main route to Tucson, National parks and most places you need to go. Cons: You are out in the country. Driving 20 minutes on Highway 19, for groceries, gas or restaurants.The only real shopping is at least 30 minutes away in Green Valley, where the best grocery stores can be found. Carpeting and furniture are older and worn, I did not find the furniture very comfortable, which may be personal choice. Water is very hard. I ended up buying drinking water. The fenced yard has very large stone which my dogs had difficulty walking on and would not go out on except to toilet.

Nice home- NO INTERNET
The house is comfortable and in a pretty setting. The lack of internet, however, was extremely frustrating as I really needed it to conduct business. I spoke to the owner, Maryann, several times before booking the house about the internet strength and she told me that it was excellent; any problems that previous renters mentioned had been taken care of. This turned out to be false. There is no router or access point in the house itself. (She said it was too expensive.) The router is at the Maryann’s house down the street and she is trying to broadcast it to the rental. When I was able to get any connectivity, which wasn’t often, speed tests showed a download speed of less than 1 Mbps and an upload of barely over 0 Mbps. Maryann was over at the house or texting me daily trying to fix it but there are too many trees and the router is just simply too far away for it to work reliably. Nonetheless, Maryann still insists it works great. The house wasn’t clean and there were some plumbing issues, but Maryann had recently had surgery and said that she had someone else clean for her so, according to her, it isn't her fault. Overall, while it was a nice home in a pretty setting, it was a very stressful experience. I would not want to stay at this house or any of her properties again.

Great setting and well equipped home
We stayed at this home for three days in early April. It is in a rural location actually southwest of Tumacacori. The scenery is beautiful and the home is well equipped in the kitchen and entertainment area. The bedding is good quality and comfortable. We slept well. We could not get the internet to work consistently. I believe that an upgrade may be required here. If you need wi fi,you can go online at the nice coffee shop in Tubac. One reviewer said that you are 30 minutes away from supplies but I found the drive to Tubac to be under 20 minutes depending on whether you take the Interstate or the service road. We always expect to drive a fair bit when we go to Tubac, and the drive is very pleasant. There is a good restaurant in Tumacacori and the spice factory is there as well. Maryann lives nearby and is very hands on. She even filled the bird feeders for us. Her communication is excellent during the booking process and during your stay.
