Tohono O'odham House: historic adobe close to UAZ with fire pit and more!

This renovated, historic adobe home is in the heart of Tucson's Blenman-Elm Historic neighborhood, just minutes from the University of Arizona and downtown. Landscaped in classic desert style by a regionally known landscape architect and accompanied by views of Mt. Lemmon to the north, enjoy the Southwest scenery with your morning coffee on the front patio, or kick it out back, where you'll find a fully-stocked wood fire pit and charcoal grill, and plenty of space to unwind in nature.

Escape the heat and hang out in the game room, complete with a foosball table, full-service bar and retro-stereo sound system. High-speed Internet, TV, basic cable, Apple TV and surround sound stereo make the living room great for watching your favorite movie or show. A fully-equipped kitchen with updated appliances will bring out your inner chef while you enjoy your visit to the Old Pueblo.

One bedroom has a California-King bed, the second has a Queen-sized bed and the pull-out couch in the breakfast nook can accommodate more guests. A spacious bathroom with a bathtub and ample skylights provides all you need for your comfort. Towels and linens provided. Stays longer than a week will receive optional cleaning services weekly for an extra fee and we provide some beer and wine to welcome you. Tohono O'odham House, named in honor of the indigenous peoples of the region who've made the Tucson desert their home for thousands of years, providing a vibrant artistic culture, reflected in the interior decoration and design.

Tucson has an astonishingly rich foodie culture, focused on quality, freshness and locally-sourced ingredients. An updated list of the best of Tucson cuisine is provided for guests upon arrival, sometimes with discounts or special offers. If you want a taste of the Old Pueblo, with an optimal location and all the creature comforts of home, you've found your dream stay.

Great VRBO. Centrally located, quiet historic neighborhood, and well appointed with everything we needed for a two week stay. Beds comfortable, kitchen stocked well, and welcome food and drink to get you started was a plus. Backyard, game room with foosball table with records and bar were fun

Kevin’s place was immaculate, colorful, and very well equipped. His communication with us was crystal clear and we enjoyed our stay very much. I highly recommend.

Kevin was a wonderful host, he had great communication about our stay and amenities/recommendations. The house is fantastic, lovely, clean, lots of amenities we didn’t even use (stocked bar, backyard/fire pit, entertainment room). We were there for work, so not much time to play, but this would be great for someone who wanted more options than the usual offerings. I l visit Tucson every year and would be thrilled to stay here again.

We enjoyed back-to-back weekends at this house recently. It's a great location to UofA, very clean, has a nice welcome amenity, plenty of supplies and a very nice fully stocked beverage refrigerator. We appreciated the attention to detail and hospitality!

It’s an amazing little place that reminds me of my home back in San Jose. We loved the old Tucson/mid-century/cozy/southwesty-but-not-too-overdone aesthetic sprinkled throughout. The backyard, the game-room, the cleanliness, very easy to communicate with the host, conveniently located, peaceful neighborhood... Absolutely enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future,

My family and I had a great stay in Tucson at Kevin’s property! The house was homey and the perfect walking distance to a friend’s wedding. Also in a great central location in Tuscon in general. Kevin was super responsive and accommodated our early check in with our one year old after a long day of travel! Definitely recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay at this property. Kevin provided many amenities often not found, particularly stocked beverages and bar, and makings for tortillas which delighted us. The backyard is large and private with many sitting areas plus a fire pit. Everything was great. Kevin was very easy to contact , readily answering any questions. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend to others.
