Super Saguaro Stay
We absolutely loved the Bunkhouse. We were in Tucson for my birthday and our fabulous hosts Lou and Ozzy had a birthday card and festive cupcake waiting for me. This is a perfect getaway and we only wished we had more time there.

Enjoyable Stay at the Bunkhouse
We were in Tucson to visit our son who is serving in the Air Force. Although we visited during one of the hottest weeks in September, we knew we would be going 'home' each day to a clean, cool, and very relaxing house. The bunkhouse had everything we could possibly need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the quiet desert!

Lou & Ozzy are great folks!
The Bunkhouse was perfect for our adventures. Very clean and well maintained, inside and out! Nice and quiet. Great to sit and relax on the big porch and enjoy all of the beautiful natural desert with lots of little wildlife running and scurrying about. The Bunkhouse has everything you could possily need. Even used the charcoal grill to cook our steaks! The pool was a perfect end to our days activities!
We like to be off the main trail a bit, so the Bunkhouse was just right for us.

A little bit of paradise!!!
Escape to this idyllic hideaway in Saguaro Park, where the owners' warm welcome sets the tone for a blissful retreat. Perfect for couples needing a break, the cozy house offers a porch tailor-made for sunset G&Ts and wildlife watching. It's a slice of paradise where time stands still, inviting you to relax, recharge, and savor the simple pleasures of life. Can’t wait to be back in 2026!!!

If you're looking for a place with a rural feel and quick access to west Seguaro, this is it. We really enjoyed mornings and evenings on the large porch watching wildlife.

beautiful property near Saguaro NP
The Bunkhouse is a single-width modular house in a lightly-developed area just outside Saguaro National Park. The house itself is small, clean and very well-maintained with a full-length covered porch that affords great views of the owners beautifully situated property. The factor that earned this property our highest rating is the owners obvious care for the property and their generosity. There is a grapefruit and and an orange tree just a few steps from the door and the owner invited us to pick the fruit freely. There are no laundry facilities in the bunkhouse but the owner gave us full access to the washer and dryer in their house just across the driveway. The bed was comfortable and kitchen was very well provisioned. We cook at least one or more meal a day and we found everything we needed in the kitchen. The cable TV & WiFi were easy to use. What makes this place special is it's location in a natural setting. We saw dozens of kinds of wildlife, especially birds, from the big porch. In spite of the remote setting there are grocery stores and restaurants just 20 minutes away across the park. This is a beautiful, clean comfortable little house in a gorgeous location run by a couple of very conscientious hosts. If that doesn't merit 5 stars, what does?

Restful Adventure
A week was just an introduction to all Tucson had to offer including our accommodations.
The Bunkhouse is truely a home away from home.The space invites you to settle.
We love to explore and this was the perfect place to reboot, restore, rest and start again.

Cozy home that is spotless and well cared for by the hosts. Orange blossoms in bloom added a very nice welcome to the yard. Bed was very comfortable and spouse loved the recliner in the living room. Kitchen well appointed with everything you need to cook, including a full sized refrigerator. Hosts are well acquainted with the area so if you have questions, they’re happy to help. Great place in the northwest part of Tucson.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming property. My friend and I enjoyed having our morning coffee on the large front porch while listening to the birds singing. Lou kindly offered us oranges that were growing on the tree next to the house. They were the best oranges I've ever had.

Coming Back
My wife and I were very comfortable at the guest house. We were escaping the Iowa winter and attending the rock, mineral and fossils shows. The property was very well maintained and the amenities made it feel like a home away from home. The rural setting was very relaxing. Ozzie and Lou were excellent hosts. We have already scheduled another month with them next year.

All the 5 star reviews were merited. Nice access to hikes in Saguaro N.P., which does indeed have nice hikes! Good places to sit and enjoy surroundings around the bunkhouse.
