Short Stay

Our family only had one night here. It was good, but pool was too cold probably too early into spring, and we were farther away from family than expected. The house was clean, kitchen was big, and decorations were nice.

Paradise

We can’t say enough about Tanya and her hospitality - she made sure we had a pack ‘n play available for my daughter when we arrived and made check in/out a breeze (which with two small children was invaluable). Her property is immaculate and lovely, perfectly located and ideal for families visiting the Tucson area. The citrus trees and the pool were BIG hits with our kids as well. We will for sure stay again if we are in the area!

Nice city getaway!

This home is well equipped, very clean, and some extra touches top it off. The pool would be a treat on a hot day, back yard is very relaxing. Some city sounds outside of the property, but we loved the access to hikes, etc.

Bodaciously Awesome Home

Beautifully appointed home in a quiet neighborhood with easy driving to Firetruck Brewing, movie theater, hospitals, and shopping. Home is spacious, incredibly clean, and so artsy. Lots of bedrooms and upscale bathrooms plus a huge well appointed kitchen, amazing game room, spacious living room, and a wonderful back yard with loads of seating, BBQ area, and a huge pool. We had our family Christmas get together here and it was so comfortable and upscale. Perfect for a honeymoon, family reunion, or just a stay in Tucson to explore the amazing sights of southern Arizona. Host communication was excellent too!

Property is in need of TLC

Overall it was a fine stay. Property management was responsive and helpful. However, the property is in rough shape. Walls are dirty, paint is chipped, drywall is cracked, tiles are missing and damaged and the living room furniture is worn out. It’s clear the photos in the listing are from years ago and do not reflect the condition of the property in 2025.

Short Reunion

We enjoyed our stay at the Lester House in Tucson. We had family from out-of-state, and from overseas that stopped by during our stay. The nice pool and playroom kept the children busy the entire time. We would gladly stay here again in the future. Convenient location to many shopping venues and leisure activities. Responsive manager to any requests and needs. Thank you very much for a memorable stay.

Comfortable stay in a great location

We recently stayed in this home for my daughter's soccer tournament in Tucson. It comfortably fit our family of six. The beds were really comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet and centrally located. Tanya left some goodies for us when we arrived - we felt spoiled! She was so helpful and we felt very well taken care of. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in Tucson.

Cozy and Inviting

We got caught up in the CrowdStrike issues that plagued airline travel, causing us to arrive about eight hours later than planned. We were relieved to arrive to such a clean, well appointed home! Everything was as expected, and we especially enjoyed the use of the pool. Communication with the property managers was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.

Spacious, Comfortable and Quiet

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home with our family of four. Our kids (11 and 14) each had their own room and lots of space to be on their own. We appreciated how quiet the neighborhood was and all of the amenities. Thank you, Tanya!

Beautiful house

This property is beautiful and we really enjoyed ourselves. We had an emergency situation and needed a place to stay pretty quick for a family of 5. We were able to book this house on short notice and it was completely ready for us. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the pool. There is beautiful artwork throughout the house. We were very comfortable and everything we needed was provided.

Beautiful home

In town for my grandmothers 90th Bday party and decided to rental a house near the Host hotel. We are so happy we booked this downtown Tucson home. Loved the updated decor, spacious with all the amenities you would want, located on a private cul de sac street and close to stores & restaurants. Tanya was very flexible and accommodating!

Beautiful home, great stay!

This house is beautiful and clean! The location was quiet and on a cul de sac so there wasn’t any traffic or noise. The beds were firm (which I prefer) and I slept like a log during our entire stay! The pillows were great as well! We were able to enjoy the pool and fire pit. The host was also very accommodating! Initially it was going to be just my husband and I staying at the house, and when our group size changed after booking it, she allowed us to add my brother and his wife without hesitation. Additionally, our flight got changed last minute, which had us arriving WAY earlier than planned. Tanya was super great and allowed us to check earlier than the normal time. I did have a question the day before we left that she never responded to, but I consider that a minor thing and overall I felt that she went out of her way to accommodate us and our requests. As a previous reviewer noted, the key lock box was tricky the first day but my husband figured it out. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this house to anyone.
