What a great spot to get out of the heat of Tucson….and so close by. The cabin was clean, well stocked (much better than we could have imagined). Ceiling fans and several portable fans made the bedrooms very comfortable. The large deck is a perfect space to relax, watch birds and dine Al fresco. We absolutely loved our stay.

We enjoyed the cabin and this was our 2nd time staying there. Lots of adventures and the cabin is comfortable. But this last time we stayed, this past Monday - Wednesday we had major issues with mice. I was sleeping but my son and grandkids were up most of the night. They said mice came out and was running around all over the counter tops. My granddaughter even got a video of a mouse taking stuff and running off with it. So they grabbed The food items sitting out and put it in the refrigerator or rubber maid tubs we had. The cabin really needs to be exterminated.

Absolutely great cabin! While we were there the creek was running and we got to hear the Elegant Trogon, as well as a whipper-will, plus seeing a sundry of other birds (including wild turkeys right outside the cabin every morning).

Need to knows: Bring queen sized bed sheets, bed pillows and your own bath towels. We brought these items, as well as extra paper towels & TP...paid it forward by leaving them behind. Also, the kitchen towels that are left there are pretty nasty, so I'd bring some or plan to use a lot of paper towels...otherwise, the kitchen was pretty stocked.

Lastly, we found our sticky notes came in handy to leave some notes for the next guest (e.g, when the hummingbird food was made, when ice cubes were made, etc)

Unique cabin in the woods. Well equipped with cooking equipment, electricity, water etc. Visitors need to read the fine print about what isn't provided - e.g., toilet paper, towels, linens. We had no problem with the road with our Kia Niro - just take the last bit slow. Loved the hummingbird feeders near the porch and the sound of the creek cascading past. If we had stayed more than one night, we would have explored the trails nearby.
