There are many places to eat and shop within a 10-minute drive. Casa Alpenglow 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. There’s even a walking path immediately behind the house! We’re just a few minutes from The Loop and there are many golf courses just a short drive (we even have a set of men’s right handed clubs you can borrow!). 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.
Guests have full access to the house except the following areas:
- Owner's closet in the hall near the laundry room
- Cabinet in garage
- 4 bikes in the garage (for owner use only — please do not touch)

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.
