Tucson Poet's Studio

Tucson Poet's Studio was featured in Architectural Digest (1-19-2024) "59 Best Airbnbs Across the United States", New York Magazine (6-19-2015) “Taste the Flavors of Tucson” and LivAbility (7-6-2018) “Accessible Airbnb” *NEW* EV Charger! The studio shares the private, walled courtyard and pool with the Eucalyptus Suite Airbnb and the main house where my husband and I live.

Huge Swimming Pool with a Cozy Cabin to Stay In!

Peaceful, quiet nature retreat just outside the city. Chill out in the huge pool* (only shared with main house) & relax in a remodeled frontier cabin with hiking & mountain biking right out the front door, 5 mins to stores & restaurants. Only 15 min drive to downtown & the UA. Plenty of wildlife! It’s a perfect spot to unwind after a day in town, or get some time away to paint, write or reconvene with yourself, nature, or the one you love. (* NO HOT TUB has never worked & will NOT be working).

Stairway to Heaven

Great cabin located in the heart of Mount Lemmon, with lots of shade. The cabin is walking distance to Summerheaven and a short distance to Ski Valley, great for a family of four, and has all the amenities you'll need for a great cabin stay. This cabin is not called “Stairway to Heaven” for nothing. From the north side of the cabin (road), it will take you 62steps to the entrance, and from the south side (private parking) it will take you 32 steps, easier to get to w/4x4 or all-wheel car.

Amazing 3 bedroom Cabin in perfect location

Bring the whole family to this great cabin with lots of room for fun and unwind from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This is the perfect place to spend quality time whether you want to stay cozy next to the fireplace or you want to get out and explore the beautiful surroundings. Come and play with the snow during winter or escape from the heat during summer, Mt. Lemmon is a good idea all year round. 4x4 is always recommended, but during winter might be required (and or chain tires.)
