Charming is the Right Word!
We were so pleased with our stay here, as it is a good central location to all of the attractions we went to see. For a couple, the size is perfect, and Kelly has everything you need, and more, stocked in her 40's Ranchito!

Great location and host... but too hot
The home is charming, clean and had the amenities of the grill, outdoor private patio, which was closed in and great for our dogs. The kitchen had essentials needed for cooking and the pool was a life saver due to the hot summer heat. Location of the home is ideal. So many restaurants nearby. Kelly has some good suggestions to restaurants. The bathroom is located in one of the bedrooms. Our situation was with a family member, so it wasn't as uncomfortable as it would have been with another couple or friend. The main problem and reason that we cut our stay short was the temperature of the house. When we arrived, the home was atleast 85 degrees if not hotter. Going to Tuscon in August is hot and a cool home is essential during the summer months. On the first night, we could not sleep. It was too hot. My small dogs were panting all night, and the rooms did not cool down. The coolest room of the home was the living room. The thermostat was constantly running and it never cooled down. I texted Kelly in the morning and told her our concern and she made sure that the air would remain on all day to try and cool the home (she was able to control the temp with her phone) as well as call an AC guy. When we got home the house was more comfortable. On Saturday, we were out all day and when we came home the house was over 90 degrees. It was impossible to sleep in a home that would not cool down. We texted Kelly again and told her that we could not cool down the home and we would be leaving a day early. She was very understanding and apologetic. Kelly was a great. She responded quickly to questions and concerns.

The house was just as described. It preserves the charm of the 1930's with some modern amenities.
We had a great stay. The home was very comfortable and suited us well. 1 bathroom was a challenge but we made it work. Takes me back to home growing up! This home was in great location, easy access to highways, easy to get around. We will definitely stay again when opportunity presents itself. Thank you Kelly and Gordon for your hospitality.
