Really nice and comfortable home

The home is very nice and well maintained. Quiet neighborhood. Close to bike trail - about .4 miles to the park for trail access. We enjoyed the use of the bikes provided by the owner. The back patio has comfy furniture for hanging outside.

Wonderful stay by the loop

Six adults stayed for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed the pristine bicycle themed house. It was clean, beautifully decorated and in a great location. Meals for 6 could be easily shared in the well appointed kitchen. Morning coffee with provided pods, overlooking the mountains was divine. The linens and towels are high quality , the beds all comfortable and bathrooms with plenty if hot water and good pressure. We used the cruiser beach bikes every day - a factor in our choice to stay here Julie responded right away to answer questions. The keypad entry worked great. There was even a professionally done guide to the house and the area . The restaurant recommendations were spot on. This was one of our favorite stays !Thank you for sharing this lovely space.

Women’s pickleball trip

This was a perfect house for our second annual women’s pb trip to Tucson. We stayed here the first time around too and liked it so well we came back! The house is great! Perfect for our group of 6. Good location, quiet, clean. Julie responds super quickly to any communication. We hope to continue this annual tradition and Bikehaven will certainly be our first choice for accommodations. Thank you!

Women’s trip

Bikehaven was perfect for our group and exceeded our expectations. The beds were comfortable, it was clean and had a great kitchen with everything we needed. We loved having the use of the bikes and there’s a nearby walking path. I really could go on and on. Julie and Jeff were super quick to respond to any question I had. This was our first time to Tuscon and Bikehaven. We loved it and hope to make it an annual event.

Great overall. Heating is slightly problematic

Everything was just as described. Overall a good stay. Just one small issue we faced was that both floors just had one shared heat controller. So, the top floor got really warm while the ground floor still stayed cold.

Our wonderful stay in Tucson

We spent four days in Tucson, and this lovely house was perfect. Location was convenient. Plenty of room for my husband's sister, her husband, two brothers and their wives. The bedrooms were decorated beautifully, with stunning artistic murals on one wall in each. Each bed was very comfortable and the entire house was squeaky clean and brand new. We stay in several VRBOs throughout the year, and I can attest that this kitchen was the best equipped of any we've stayed in. The living room was nicely furnished and large enough for all. Four of us went for bike rides in the bikes provided on the amazing bike trail. If we travel to Tucson again, we will definitely stay here!

Great house and location for our family reunion.

The location was great for our family reunion in Tucson as we had events and people to visit on the northeast and northwest sides of the town. Getting to and from the airport was also easy. The 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms suited our family of 6 adults and 3 children well. There was plenty of towels in each of the bathooms and the bedding was comfortable. The loft area gave an extra special spot for the kids to play in or for an adult to use the office area or to watch tv. The living room/dining/kitchen areas were big enough for all of us to gather, cook, eat and play games/cards. The outdoor area was comfy and offered that additional gathering spot. We loved having the bikes available for the adults. We took them out a few times on the nearby trail along the Rillito wash. The host was very responsive and we loved the extra touch in design to have her artwork displayed throughout the house. Our two older grandchildren (9 and 6) thought the Prickly Pear room was special with all the desert animal paintings. We would definitely rent this home again.

Perfect place to stay in Tucson

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Bikehaven. Jeff and Julie are professional and helpful hosts and have done a great job setting up their rental. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. As someone who likes to bike you can’t beat the location and access to the bike path. Traveling in from out of town it was so nice to have bikes waiting at the house to use. Would happily stay here again.
