Exceptionally cozy little casita! Loved the huge spa like shower after a hike. Has everything you would need and very comfortable furnishings. Back porch had lots of fun little nature viewing as well. Nancy and Patrick are experienced hosts and were kind and very helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend if staying in Tucson area!
Fabulous house a few blocks away from the consulate.
Everything was great! Javier contacted us personally and made sure he was available to assist if we needed him. He graciously let us know we could check in early. We didn't, but it sure was nice that it was available. After we had checked in, the next day he wrote to check and make sure that everything was going ok. This is a beautiful home, with a private outside patio, as well as private and secure parking. In addition, Javier had Netflix AND Disney Plus on the tv! We watched a movie and felt right at home. I cooked breakfast there two days in a row, so I know that everything works (all the needed items to cook were there) and works well. We now have the perfect place to come back to whenever we visit Nogales!
Cozy Rio Rico guesthouse with a view
My stay at Karen's Airbnb was lovely. I was there to visit a friend who lived near Tubac, so I didn't spend much time at the unit, but the time I spent there was peaceful and very comfortable. The space fit my needs perfectly; comfortable bed, clean, quiet, and nicely appointed. I didn't need to do much food prep, so the small kitchen space was perfect. I enjoyed the shared patio area in mornings - sitting outside in the sun with my cup of coffee and listening to the birds. I felt that the curtain separating the bathroom from the living area would provide plenty of privacy if you were to share the space with another person. I thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with Karen and her family. She respected my privacy and was available to answer any questions I had. I would stay there again. Thank you, Karen!
Private Pool Great location home
The house was great. We needed space for our e-bikes and this totally provided that. Super close to the Tucson Loop.
Time-Out in Tucson!
Perfect house for friends to catch up. Would rent it again. So much to do at the house; we were never bored.
Perfect Getaway for Family with Games Epic
Me and my family had a wonderful time the house was just like the pictures in the app. The house was immaculate.I would definitely stay there again.
Stunning Southwest Style Vacation Home
Beautiful house and backyard, comfy beds, and quiet surroundings. Would visit again
Beautiful Home! Pool is Open all Year
Good location near the loop. Quiet neighborhood. HVAC worked well. Washer/drier worked well although the drier took a little longer than expected, no big deal. The house was clean. Blackout bedroom shades were great for sleeping in. The garage door remote was a plus. This is the ninth different airbnb house/condo I've stayed at in Tucson, and is one of two I'd go back to.
Your guide to Madera Canyon
All About Madera Canyon
Located in Arizona’s Coronado National Forest, about 30 miles south of Tucson, Madera Canyon is a gorgeous valley of streams, juniper-oak woodlands, and beautiful pine forests. The area is one of Arizona’s premier birding destinations, home to more than 250 species, including hummingbirds, elf owls, red-faced warblers, and painted redstarts. You can find various species in different areas of the park, and one of the best ways to see a wide variety of birds is by hitting one of the many hiking trails. The area offers a wide array of natural paths, giving people of all fitness levels the opportunity to explore. Some of the most popular trails include the Mt. Wrightson Loop and the Madera Canyon Nature Trail. Just outside of the canyon, you can visit the small but thriving artists’ colony of Tubac, located in the remains of an old Spanish fort.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Madera Canyon
Due to the year-round beauty of the area, there is no bad time to secure your Madera Canyon cabins. However, the weather can be extreme, so it is essential to be prepared. Temperatures get very cold during the winter, and you may even be lucky enough to see snow. From July through August, monsoon-like rains can come suddenly. However, they also leave just as quickly, giving you plenty of time to put some miles in on the trails. The spring and fall generally have more mild and consistent weather, making it easier to plan your outdoor activities. It is important to keep in mind that Madera Canyon is located 3,000 feet higher than the surrounding Sonoran Desert and is generally significantly cooler, so it is a good idea to pack layers before setting out on any trails.
Top things to do in Madera Canyon
Madera Canyon Nature Trail
This lovely 5.3-mile trail runs alongside Madera Creek, offering sweeping views of the Madera Canyon and the Santa Rita Mountains, including Mt. Wrightson, Arizona’s third tallest mountain. With an elevation gain of only 1,000 feet across two miles, the trail is suitable for all fitness levels and the perfect introduction to the area.
Tubac
Set among the sprawling desert, Tubac was established in the mid-18th century as a Spanish fort, and you can still see remnants of its past in the hidden courtyards and stone buildings. Today, it is a thriving artists’ colony with quiet streets lined with more than 100 boutiques selling handcrafted products.
Mt. Wrightson
Easily recognizable by its pyramid-shaped top, Mt. Wrightson rises more than 9,000 feet above the surrounding savannah and desert. A handful of trailheads located within the Madera Canyon Recreation Area allow visitors to ascend the summit. Although the climb can be challenging,
the trails will take you through canyons and over ridgetops, offering spectacular panoramas along the way.
