Overnight Stays

A short drive outside of Tucson, this is a fantastic stay-cation destination. Perfect for sunsets and stargazing. The temperatures are on average 6-10 degrees cooler than Tucson, a welcome reprieve from the heat. The beauty of the landscape here is immense, and we have space set aside for you to stay here and enjoy it. You can book a stay in our new rental unit.
