About this house rental
Imagine being in a story book round house with turqoise and golden floors, set on 2.5 acres of Sonoran desert facing the Tucson Mountains. Having lived our lives here in the desert, we newly renovated our family adobe block home ourselves, as artists and builders, to capture what we love about the desert and the local culture. It is earthy and elegant, like a yurt inside, one big open and spacious room with a stunning wood ceiling. Only the bathroom is separate with a beautiful Moroccan Tadelakt walk-in shower and claw foot tub. The full kitchen has a Mexican Talavera tile counter top, full sized refrigerator, stocked with all the basics, espresso machine, and many amenities.
The backyard is fully fenced with a ramada for shade, a fire pit, and a propane barbecue.
The desert property is filled with saguaro cactus, and native plants. You can enjoy a meal under the ironwood tree, watching the sunsets or mountains . Perfect for astronomers and night sky enthusiasts as this is a dark sky designated area with the world famous Kitt Peak Observatory less than 50 miles away. Great for hikers with Saguaro National Park trails within minutes , and many cycling and mountain biking opportunities.
The Sonoran Desert Museum is 6 minutes away. Old Tucson , once a Film Studio for over 300 Western Movies , now a theme park, is a 15 minute drive through the park. Iron Wood National Monument is a 15 minute drive to the west for wide open uninhabited desert experiences and hikes with ancient petroglyphs.
Downtown Tucson is only 30 minutes away and Tucson International airport is also only 40 minutes away. The Tucson Mountains separate this home from the city so you’re able to enjoy the peace of the desert yet still “go to town”. Plenty of private parking including trailer and or an RV.

We really enjoyed this eclectic, unique house. The house was very clean and well equipped . The property was private with lovely desert views and beautiful sunsets. Diane was very responsive when we had questions, and everything made traveling with our dog very convenient.

The Round House was my first Vrbo rental. Based on my experience at the Round House, I will be using Vrbo again. It was a magical retreat amid abundant saquaros and desert wildlife. Exactly what my spirit needed to reenergize. Check-in and check-out were both no drama. Diane and Andrew were the most gracious of hosts, responding promptly and thoughtfully to all my inquiries. As my son and I approached the door to the Round House, we spotted the personalized welcome sign hanging on the impressive antique door (one of my favorite touches). Inside, the Round House was full of eclectic treasures that Diane has skillfully pulled together to create a peaceful atmosphere. Among the highlights: a telephone pole with working lights, a nautical-themed bathroom, the barrel kitchen, and the lighting around the ceiling. Those are a few highlights. There is too much to list. My son and I also enjoyed one evening watching the sunset (I am a collector of sunsets) and watching the stars come out beside the old rusted car fountain before lighting a fire in the fire pit to roast marshmallows like we did when he was little. The Sonoran Desert holds a special place in my heart, and the Round House was the perfect place to restore that part of me. I hope to return; sooner, rather than later.

We absolutely loved the property! Was so nice to be away from the city. The house had everything you could possibly need, and really felt like home. All communication with the host was quick and easy, and you can tell they really care.

This is an excellent place for hiking and spending time in the desert. The park is close and public land is close too. The hosts are very nice and responsive people. It is a fun place to stay.
