Top Desert Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

VERY Private Hilltop Hacienda with Spectacular 360 Degree Views

10/10 Excellent

"This property was amazing! It's on top of a hill, so the views of Tucson were spectacular from the pool. The front yard was the perfect place for watching the beautiful sunsets with all the Western décor, seating, and plants. The adjustable beds were soft and comfortable to sleep on after an evening in the pool, spa, or the jetted tub. It was quite relaxing to paint rocks and leave them in the yard with the other ones from past guests. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need and then some. The neighbors are respectful, quiet, and not right next to you. It's very private. The large grill outside has a refrigerator, which is very handy, and is next to the awesome bar with the big outdoor TV that you can watch from the pool."

Sonoran Sky Escape - 360 views - Heated Pool Option

10/10 Excellent

"Donovan was everything expected of a host. He was communicative, always responding quickly and resolving my questions. The property was like being in my own home. All the furnishings were comfortable and clean. I’ve been in many VRBO’s, and this was one of the cleanest. His cleaners are meticulous. The back yard is AMAZING. The view both day and night is beautiful. We were there to visit family and there there was something for everyone to do. The kitchen worked for me and we had a lot of visitors for brunch. I found everything I needed. Thank you Donovan. I thank you and my family thanks you for hosting your home. I will rent again and recommend it."
