Bohemian desert sanctuary with stunning views!

Come cozy-up in this desert bohemian sanctuary nestled amongst the stunning Tucson mountains. Feel yourself in the old Southwest by driving through Saguaro National Park, across the dirt roads and into a tranquil pocket of paradise. Feel like you have the world to yourself, yet enjoy the proximity of shopping and dining just 15 minutes away. Perfect for girl's trips, writer's retreats, cyclist's layovers, nature-lovers' home base, Gem Show retreats, romantic star-gazing and more!

Staycation/Social distance/Work from home in a wide-open, peaceful retreat space! Enjoy the Blue Barn sunsets, Saguaro coffee nooks, Milky way fire pit, Lazy hammock hangout, Meditation space, and sunrise walking trails! You'll hear coyotes at night and birds chirping in the morning.

My home is filled with treasures that I have brought back from around the globe, so enjoy the international flair as well as local art by myself and by my friends. You'll also be enveloped by my array of propagated plants which adorn the house and keep it feeling cozy.

*Note: This is a home which caters to the enjoyment of the outdoors, not binge TV watching. There is internet satellite, but no regular TV channels. For your best experience, bring downloaded media to connect to the large screen TV, or get funky and connect to the home projector! You can log into your favorite channels such as NetFlix, just be advised it could do a bit of buffering depending on hour and day.

Stay near Saguaro National Park
We selected this property based on the location in the area of the Saguaro National Park. The listing was accurate, and we were happy with our choice. Our trip was in early October 2020. We took several hikes in the area as recommended by the owner. One of our favorite hikes was the Hugh Norris trail which takes you along a ridge line inside the National Park. The hike is best experienced starting in the morning so you have an abundance of shade during the ascent.
