If you are NOT traveling with noisy young children, request a top floor room so you don't suffer unending noise from above.

Another great stay. We enjoyed the updates and refresh of the house since our last stay. Four women comfortably stayed this trip. We utilized all spaces, kitchen, patio, pool, living area, all the while taking in the lovely views. It’s a great home base for venturing out for wine tastings, mine tours, cavern tours, spa days and of course shopping and restaurants nearby. Highly recommend for living like a local in Tubac.

Perfect for our Nogales High reunion weekend at the Tubac Resort. The house was spacious, well maintained, comfortable, had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated. The pool was great and its fountain so soothing while we enjoyed the spectacular view and outdoor spaces in the back yard. The only downside was the mosquitos were out in force (fortunately we had packed repellent). The kitchen was large and had all the stuff we needed to cook & serve great meals. Definitely would recommend for anyone who needs a place in the Tubac/Tumacacori/Nogales area.

Good Vacation Value

The three bedroom, two bath house has all you need for a small group or family, including a heated pool and proximity to Tubac. While the prooperty is certainly not new, it is well kept up and very comfortable. You will enjoy the interior Mexican decor. The owner, Raquel, is easy to reach by phone and very responsive should you have requests. A very good value. March of 2025 has been our third annual stay at this property and we will definitely be back again next year. Highly recommended.

Top notch property

If you want privacy and a pool, within walking distance of a golf resort, this is the place. Mountain views and dark skies at night are a plus. Amazing shops nearby; The home was stocked with everything we needed and the host was very responsive to my queries. Loved every minute of our stay.

Just Like The Home That it Is

Many VRBOS's are stripped down, overly sanitized and feels like your staying in some money-making property. Here I felt like our cool Aunt let us crash at her place. It wasn't fancy but very home-y. It wasn't under decorated, but full of desert and Mexican themed art and trinkets. We loved it, and the pool was very welcoming as the day heated up. We've stayed at casitas a little further from the highway and it had been quieter but the back of the house, where you really hang out, is not bad.... Kind of like white noise in the background. We used the chiminea one night and we cooked in the well appointed kitchen two nights. All in all we had a lovely visit and would stay there again.

An Excellent Stay During Wedding Weekend

We loved staying here this past weekend with friends for our wedding in Amado. It was such a lovely retreat during a wonderful but hectic weekend. It was clean, comfortable and easy from check-in to checkout. We will forever look back on our stay as a cherished memory. Thank you!
