  Sally is a savant of guest service, and you will definitely feel at home away from home.

  Excellent stay. The host was incredible and so kind. Grounds were clean and quiet. Couldn't ask for anything more.

  Cactus Cove is a very well presented and comfortable property situated in an outstanding, peaceful location. The rooms are tastefully furnished and the garden/grounds including pool area are immaculately maintained. Sally, the owner, is a wonderful hostess who provides delicious breakfasts, normally with a theme, which are varied and elegantly presented. Our party was two couples who stayed 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time here, Thank you Sally.

  Comfortable stay with delicious breakfasts. Sally greets you at check in with an afternoon snack, gives you a tour, and shows you everything about your room and the common spaces. The property is gorgeously nestled in the desert with a spacious patio/ pool area and stunning views. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Location was a great launch point for visits to Mount Lemmon, Saguaro National Park East, and Sabino Canyon. There’s an afternoon snack awaiting you in your room each day and a nice breakfast each morning with Sally and the other guests (there are only 3 rooms so it’s a nice small group). If you’re looking for an impersonal, corporate hotel experience, this is likely not for you, but if you’re open to meeting a lovely, interesting person and staying at a delightful property, Cactus Cove is a gem. One small note: In the room we stayed (Ocotillo room), the inside shower is the French style handheld associated with the jacuzzi tub (would be challenging if you are mobility-limited) and the American style stand up shower is outside in your private courtyard. We used the outside shower on a particularly chilly morning and it was still comfortable because we let the water warm up first. We travel a lot internationally so these quirky features were comfortable for us, but may be a bit surprising for travelers accustomed to corporate hotels in the US. We loved our stay and hope to return in the future.

  Exceptional experience!

  My wife and I went to Tucson for a long weekend for our wedding anniversary. We chose Cactus Cove as it looked like a beautiful, quiet place to spend a few days. Sally greatly exceeded our expectations. The property is beautiful and very quiet. The view of the mountains is exceptional. Even though it is still in the city, it feels very secluded. The suite was beautifully furnished and quite spacious. Our room had a private courtyard with an outdoor shower! On top of all that, Sally was delightful! She is an excellent conversationalist and I enjoyed the time we spent with her. Breakfast was excellent. Perhaps one of the best huevos rancheros I’ve had. This was an excellent experience. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Tucson.
