About this property

Desert Gem Guest House nestled among lush Mesquite trees.

Desert Gem Guesthouse

Located on the far east side of Tucson in the Rincon/Vail area. This cozy 1200 sq.ft. guesthouse is surrounded by lush mesquite trees and can easily accommodate up to 6 guests. The front porch is ideal for having your morning cup of coffee/tea or afternoon wine, bird watching and taking in the view of the Rincon Mts. and Rincon Peak. Located only 5.3 miles from Saguaro National Park East and 8.2 miles from Colossal Cave. Our Desert Gem is fully furnished with a king bed in the master bedroom. Others can sleep in the back room that is furnished with a bunk bed that has both a full and twin size mattress. This room also has your own washer and dryer set up. The open floor plan creates a welcoming living room with a queen size bed, TV, WiFi, Bluetooth phone access. This space is shared with a dining area for 6 and a full kitchen with all necessary appliances. The back room has a lovely all glass windowed garage door that, along with a standard backdoor, will open up to the safely fenced in back and side yard. Here you can enjoy sitting around a fire pit and view the small lush wash that borders the property, creating total privacy between you and the neighbors for a very quiet and secluded desert retreat, and yet, only a 30 min. drive to downtown Tucson. The best of both worlds!
