Very private, cozy cottage at the foot of mountains. Hiking close by. I had a very relaxing retreat, much needed. I hope to return sometime.

You really couldn't ask for a much better setting. The sanctuary property is beautiful and the cottage clean and well maintained. A perfect trail on property to start your morning. The cottage is equipped with all the basics needed to cook if you prefer, and plenty of nearby excellent dining options if you don't. Are there imperfections here, sure... The water pressure can be a little low, sometimes leading to the on demand water heater not sensing demand. The mattress may have seen better days, but I still slept well. Nothing here that would keep me from staying again should I return to Tucson. The host, Alison, was also very welcoming and easy to reach if needed.

We absolutely loved our stay here at Sanctuary Cove on the edge of Saguaro National Park. We had no idea when booking that this was a small retreat home, originally built for peaceful retreat from the business of life, but, for us, that was a perfect accident.The trails on the property allowed for contemplative walks through desert landscape, plus there was a dedicated labyrinth, beside the Peace Chapel, (ecumenical-- nothing doctrinal) which I visited morning and evening.The home was cozy and comfortable, well-equipped with everything we needed. The host was welcoming and communicative, on the property next door but not at all intrusive. We were blessed to find this place.
