About this property
Damselfly Studio. Contemporary, comfortable retreat with gorgeous views near SNP
With this studio I love to create a home away from home for my guests. It's like a luxurious hotelroom with privacy. 2 min from Saguaro Natl. Park - East. Ideal for hiking, biking and birding. Just outside city limits, overlooking the city with desert and mountain views. Dark night skies, howling coyotes, hooting owls and occasional javelinas. For your info; the studio is next to our casita. See more on this Dragonfly casita on vrbo.com/2504493

We booked this a bit on a whim as we were doing a National Park tour and were ending our trip in Tucson for a few days. The location (a few minutes from Saguaro East), the views, and the hospitality was fantastic. We had been on the go and it was a great relaxing end to our NP extravaganza. Would highly recommend!
We loved our stay. The location was peaceful and close to Saguaro East for hiking. The casita was clean, bed comfy and Fredericka was super helpful. I’m picky about where I stay and I’d highly recommend. Thanks for a wonderful stay
The grounds were absolutely beautiful. The feel of the house was truly southwest. Quiet and peaceful. We would absolutely stay there again if we are ever in Tucson.

Frederika is amazing! Very attentive and accommodating. The Damselfly Casita is a wonderful, quiet, comfortable retreat. The decor is colorful and fun! It is a perfect spot to winddown after enjoying all that Tucson has to offer. Highly recommend staying at the Damselfly!
Hostess is SO welcoming. So sweet. So friendly. So helpful. And all kinds of little touches inside the beautifully appointed studio make it the ultimate in comfort.

The casita was perfect for our stay and so close to Saguaro national park. Lovely place and Frederika was wonderful and gave us lots of recommendations.
We loved everything about our 6 night stay at Damselfly Studio. Beautiful views, comfortable and clean, super friendly hosts, perfect location, quiet and relaxing, and lots of wildlife. We hope to come back!
We had a wonderful surprise by being greatly by the hostess and was delighted with how welcoming she was. The accommodations were better than the description and pictures online. Highly recommend and will definitely be staying there again.

Very well appointed studio. Comfy bed and great shower!
Our host was absolutely lovely. She greeted us when we arrived and checked in each day to be sure we had ever needed. The studio had traces of her personality and exemplified her love for hosting. Beyond that-the amenities were absolutely outstanding. We didn’t want to leave!
The cleanliness was impeccable, I own a cleaning company so I tend to be more critical than most. Our host was so kind and friendly, all the special little touches made us feel at home!
Stayed here with my wife for our anniversary. Perfect spot for 2; off the beaten path, great views off the deck, great communication & accommodation from the host.
We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The Damselfly studio was roomy, comfortably furnished and very pleasant. We were very close to the Park for hiking and within easy driving distance to restaurants. Fredericka was a very accommodating and friendly host. You will not be disappointed if you stay there!
