Guest access
The garage is available for guest use with sedans or mid-size SUVs. Larger vehicles may not fit in it but can be parked in the driveway.

Guests have full access to the house except the following areas:
- Owner's closet in the hall
- 2 Garage storage closets

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE:
- NON-REFUNDABLE PAYMENT FEE: There is a 5% payment processing fee that is non-refundable. If you book then cancel, our credit card processor doesn't refund fees.
- DOG FRIENDLY: We allow up to 2 dogs but there are some strict rules that must be followed. Dogs can't be left alone in the house unless they are crated. No excessive barking, neighbors WILL complain. Can't be left alone in the yard, there is wildlife in the area. Waste must be picked up right away. Cannot be off leash outside of the house, like when on a walk. Furniture must be covered if your doggo is cuddling with you on it. Other animals that aren't dogs are not allowed.
- MID-STAY CLEANING: For stays of 16+ days, a mid-stay professional cleaning will be included at no additional charge (because no one wants to clean toilets on their vacay!). We can schedule a time when you'll be out adventuring.
- NO PARTIES, EVER: Because this is a quiet residential neighborhood, parties, events, or other large gatherings are prohibited. Unapproved visitors will result in us asking your entire group to vacate the property immediately and forfeit the cost of your reservation. This will be strictly enforced.
- OUTDOOR QUIET HOURS: This is a quiet neighborhood, so we ask that you reduce all outside noise after 10 p.m.
- PARKING: No street parking is allowed. There is space for up to 4 vehicles in the garage and driveway.
- MAX GUESTS: The listing sleeps 6 people total, which includes the total count of adults and kids. There is a $100 per guest per day fee for over 6 people, so if you need the extra space, you're better off finding a bigger house that fits more people!
- PATIO SLIDER: If a patio slider is open for more than 5 minutes, the HVAC system will automatically turn off to conserve energy.
- NO COUCH SURFING: For sanitary reasons, we do not allow guests to sleep on the couch. If you need more beds, please find a larger house!
- PRIMARY GUEST: Must be over the age of 28, verify their identity (much like when staying at a hotel), sign a rental agreement, is responsible for payment, and is physically staying at the property for the duration of the stay.

Yay! You read the whole listing! As a thank you for your attention to detail, when booking, please mention the phrase "I support local" and there will be a welcome gift upon your arrival! Yes, we know it sounds cheesy but you'll love it! ;)

We decided to go to a place we’ve never been before and we were not disappointed with our decision. The host was super communicative and made our stay so very comfortable. The place was immaculate and in a great location. We would not hesitate recommending the place to family and friends. We would also definitely stay longer next time.

The view was spectacular with nice viewing seating areas, the fire pit area especially! And I really appreciated all the amenities from each shower being stocked with shampoo & body wash to the kitchen being stocked with basic spices and supplies (baggies, foil, seran wrap). Such a small thing but huge when we are away from home and just need a little bit. The place was so well appointed reflecting the local area - we loved it! I would rent again from this company for sure. Thanks!

It is a beautiful & comfortable home. Everything is new & it’s well stocked with what you will need for a home away from home. The owners had great communication.

Copper Burro was our second rental with Vacay in Tucson, with the 3rd already booked for 2027 (our first was for a couple days at Casa Alpenglow – a spectacular property in Oro Valley). Jenn is a very helpful and responsive owner/manager. Her rentals make her seem like the interior designer and the hospitality executive for a luxury brand like the Ritz Carlton. She just knows how to please and pamper her guests. The two homes we rented were the cleanest we have ever experienced in a rental. Additionally, they are the most comfortably and attractively furnished; as if you were in the luxurious home of a thoughtful friend with great taste. The beds very comfortable and the linens truly high quality. The Copper Burro kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooking—over my 25 years of renting homes, I've never encountered a rental with such excellent equipment. The home has many thoughtful touches from labeled light switches and instructions posted exactly where you need them to a great app with detailed info on every appliance. Copper Burro is beautiful indoors and out. Over coffee in the mornings, we were torn between sipping as we stood looking out to the Tucson mountains or sitting outside and staring up at the Santa Catalinas. We loved watching the sunset and the stars from the Adirondack chairs around the gas fireplace. You cannot go wrong renting this place.
