Beginning 2024 in Tucson
This stay was our third year in Tucson and we found our “home away from home”! We loved so much staying at this outstanding property for nearly 2 months and have already booked time for next year! The surrounding area was both private and quiet with friendly neighbors, yet near a park so we could walk the dog. The home was wonderfully laid out and each room had extraordinary details with fine craftsmanship and interesting presentations. The living room, dining area, and kitchen were spacious with high ceilings, very comfortable furniture and a well furnished kitchen. The 3 bedrooms were also spacious with very comfortable beds, ample closet area, and interesting furnishings. The bedrooms were separated from the living/dining/kitchen area so early morning coffee or staying up late didn’t bother those sleeping in or retiring early. We enjoyed being outdoors and regularly spent time on the two cleverly set up outdoor patios for relaxing and grilling. We also appreciated being able to keep our new car in garage and using the garage door openers. Lastly, our hosts lived nearby and we enjoyed getting to know them! We appreciated them sharing with us some of their favorite local restaurants and their attentiveness to making our time at the Old Guardhouse so memorable!

Spotless, nice patio areas
Nice house and patio. Big park nearby with access to multi use plan along the “river.” The kitchen could benefit from a couple more things but otherwise was serviceable. A little weird not to be able to flush your TP (thanks to elderly plumbing) but the bins did a good job containing the smell.

a perfect house - you should stay here
The house was perfect in every way. Beautiful interior in a Victorian style. Great outdoor garden area for enjoying the sun. Adjacent to a park for walking the dogs - they loved it. Well equipped kitchen and bbq with everything you need for cooking. Location on a private road was quiet and secure. Close to groceries and a generally central location that was convenient to area attractions - most within about 20 or so minutes. When I come to Tuscon again, I will definitely stay here.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Historic Guard House. It was exactly as advertised both inside and out. The home was tastefully decorated with antiques and art. Outside were multiple sitting areas with beautiful plantings and hummingbirds. We would stay there again if in the area.

Overall lovely
This was a quick trip. The place was overall lovely, very comfortable and in a peaceful setting with everything you need within a short drive away. Three weeks prior to arrival I asked if an air mattress was available, to my knowledge I did not receive a response. Thankfully local family members lent us theirs. I’d book again and highly recommend this place.
