Your Sonoran Desert oasis awaits!
What a wonderful staycation we had here on the west side of town. We were comfortable all day and night here. The yard was nice to use regularly throughout the day. We could see and hear horses throughout the day. We could walk right on to the Saguaro National Park trail system right off the driveway. Kitchen is sufficient. Lot of bang for your buck here! We loved our stay and would recommend the rental for friends, families and anyone that loves a little solitude and horses!

Tucson Vacation
We vacationed in Tucson the 18-23 of February and stayed at Lou and Pam's guest house. Lou texted us immediately upon arrival in Tucson to tell us the codes to the property. He left the lights on since we arrived late. The next morning he stopped by and answered our questions about the property and provided us with a map showing hiking trails adjacent to his property. The property was just as described on VRBO. It was in a quiet location a few miles out of town. The house was plenty big enough for a family of 6. The property was adjacent to Saguaro National Park so you did not have to leave the property to go on a nice hike. There was a fenced yard perfect for our dog. The one lasting memory on this trip was the night in Lou's "saloon" where another guest and Lou entertained us while singing cowboy songs and playing their guitars. While we had never met Lou before this trip, he made us feel like old friends immediately. Loved staying at this guest house. There were so many cool places to go which were with in a few hours. Our favorites were Tombstone, Sweetwater Trail, Saguaro National Park, AZ Sonora Desert Museum, and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

anna m., Minnesota

that's actually a 4.5 star....
We loved staying here. The accommodations were very comfortable. We were there for 2+ weeks and had 3 different sets of family and friends come while we were there. The beds are all very comfortable and we really appreciated the washer/dryer on site. The lack of full kitchen was a bit challenging but we figured it out and actually with the grill, hotplate and microwave we prepared some decent meals. Lou was a great host - responsive to our needs and requests, not to mention witty and friendly. The one thing that takes away a half a star is we could not get wifi in the guest house. We both had some work we had to do and this presented a challenge for us. Lou did his darnedest though to get it working but it just didn't happen. He did however give us a key to the "saloon" so we could get some access on the property which we appreciated. Thank you again Lou and Pam. Your warm hospitality was much appreciated. We hope Ciara had a successful birth. Best to you - Anna & Cary

Country style comfort
Lovely home with amazing views in any direction clean and comfortable and just rural enough you feel as if you really have gotten away from it all.The Hosts are responsive and very helpful. We had a very pleasant stay will say this is not the place to be if you plan to do all your own cooking we didn't as we were visiting family and the cooking was done there or we ate out so it was fine there is a microwave and hotplate and coffee pot available so you can work it out if you need to but when on vacation I prefer not to have to cook really.

perfect AZ escape
Terrific place. Wonderful house with good south west vibes and horse decor. Property and owners are lovely and property is adjacent to the stunning Saguaro National Park. Stayed here for just a few days with our 2-year old son. Very family friendly. Only drawback was not having a stove top or full kitchen, but there is a grill, coffeepot, sink, dishes and great southwest takeout locations in short driving distance. hope to stay longer next time.

Very comfortable and great Tucson location
Again, another great stay at The Rocking M Ranch. Lou and Pam are such gracious hosts and we love the guest house for our Tucson stay. There is plenty of room for our large family and friends. There is also camping site available which accommodates our friends with campers. We love the peacefulness out in this NW Tucson desert location near Saguaro National Monument and even had an extra treat this trip with the full moon eclipse. With the darkness around us, a great location to see this event. Thank you again, Lou and Pam for another wonderful stay.
