The house was great. We had 4 kids and they loved the huge backyard, ping pong table and hot tub. Getting int the house was very easy and it was close to lots of the places we wanted to be. Everything was clean and there were lots of kitchen supplies for us to use to cook meals.

Great home for a large family
The inside of the home was perfectly clean and the kitchen had more amenities than my own! Everyone said their bed was super comfortable- my daughter says she will miss the bed after we leave All our needs wereattended to quickly. I love the location near the mountain. Would stay again.

Foothills Gem
We lived in Catalina Foothills but had to move to California. We visit often as we miss Catalina Foothills, Tanque Verde, Bear Canyon, MT Lemmon. I needed a home with room so the teens had their own space, have dogs, and a pool is a must. This home was perfect. Has an awesome pool, fire pit, pin-pong, and within 10 min from Catalina Foothills where my children's friends are. My son could ride his road bike on the roads surrounding Bear Canyon, easy drive to MT Lemmon. This home has wonderful beds and the kitchen is fully stocked with all one needs, including a water/food bowl for your fur kids. I highly recommend this home/VRBO and will book again. The owners were super easy to work with extremely accommodating.

Good home away from home
We were in town for a funeral. This spacious home provided a nice place to relax and visit with family. There was plenty of parking, a great yard, and fully stocked kitchen. Not a fancy place, but quiet, clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

Wow! What a gem and superb stay with an excellent host!
We reached out to Jesse regarding his listing and we’re met with kindness, clarity and exceptional communication. We rented this house for family to stay in while we celebrated a promotion. When booking and reviewing listings the spaciousness and overall layout is what caught our eye… not to mention the backyard!!!!
The neighborhood was very safe and very easy to find. The excess parking was icing on the cake for our family. I’m great restaurants were within great distance from the property. For the day trip hikers, this property was just a stone throw away from great trails!
We were delightfully greeted with what we had hoped this would be and so much more. The check in process was simple and very user friendly. The home was immaculate, very clean and had everything we could imagine needing/wanting during our stay.
The home boasted very spacious indoor seating for our large group and the backyard was a paradise for all ages! When we visited with our kids, they had everything they could imagine and made this a fun and revitalizing trip for the whole fam.
We will absolutely keep this listing and Jesse as our go to for staycations and larger group rental for all future needs!
Without hesitation I recommend booking with Jesse for this amazing property!
