There are SO many places to eat and shop within a few minutes drive. The Copper Burro is in a very quiet residential neighborhood, and the roads are pretty quiet, so it’s a great place to go for a stroll or a jog. We've got a Recommendations List in the house with all of our fave restaurants and places to shop to help you plan your vacation.
Since Tucson is very spread out, and Lyft or Uber can get expensive, we suggest bringing your own car or getting a rental.
The garage is available for guest use with sedans or mid-size SUVs. Larger vehicles may not fit in it but can be parked in the driveway. The HOA does not allow RVs.

Guests have full access to the house except the following areas:
- Owner's closet in the hall
- 2 Garage storage closets

My husband, Jon and I love to travel. We work hard and play hard! If there's a great brewery or a good burger, we are down for it! Love to hit local spots and have unique experiences. We've cruised to about a dozen islands in the Caribbean and San Juan is a fave.

Getting around

Tucson is VERY spread out. While Uber/Lyft are easy to get a ride, because its so spread out, it can be very costly if you plan to use it for your entire trip. Rental cars are cheap in Tucson and we recommend to get one.
