October 2007 - Guest Review

"This beautiful condo nestled into the foothills of the Catalina's was ideal for "showing off" Tucson to our relatives. We were able to fit 4 adults and two children in the condo. We had hiking trails out our back door, a beautiful swimming pool, and high-end retail and restaurants just a short drive away. There really is no reason to have to leave the area during the entire stay. The desert isn't more beautiful anywhere than the foothills! This condo was situated perfectly with great amenities. We will stay here again and emphatically recommend it to others as well! Thanks!"

"My Mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our Tucson trip and our stay at your Ventana Canyon condo. We could not think of anything that could have been different or better. It was perfect, from the extremely comfy matresses to the patio to use of the business center and pools. Wow! Kudos to you!! The condo is superbly decorated and thoughfully furnished with everything that we could have possibly needed.  Loved it! Thank you!"

Thank you for making this a home away from home!  We loved the seclusion, the views and the pools.  Being so near Sabino Canyon allowed a Wednesday night moon & star walk as well as a phone line trail walk!  We'll be back!"  The Stevicks - Pittsburgh, PA

Guest book 04/2005 We enjoyed staying at your place!  We loved all the artwork & extra amenities.  We took full advantage of the pools and spas.  Your "Welcome Book" was most helpful.  Your restaurant recommendations were right on the money.  Besides exploring restaurants, we did a lot of sightseeing.  Our favorites were Sabino Canyon, Sonoran Desert Museum and Saguaro National Parks West & East.  We returned to Saguaro East near sunset for photos and saw 3 deer, several quail and rabbits.  Exciting to see & and pink sunset to follow!  We were also delighted to see so many hummingbirds in the wild.  We looked forward to coming back to your beautiful place after every excursion!  Thanks!
