Desert Trails borders Saguaro National Park East but is only fifteen miles from downtown Tucson.  Located on the eastern end of Speedway Boulevard, we are just far enough out to be away from noise, traffic, and light pollution of the city but still close enough that a short drive takes you to some of Tucson's finest east-side restaurants.

Situated on three acres of desert bordering the national park lies in the shadow of the Rincon Mountains where the cactus forests of the Sonoran Desert give way to the riparian mesquite bosques of the Tanque Verde Valley. Our goal is to provide guests a relaxing stay in a casual, rural setting. Hiking, birding, and horseback riding are literally just outside our door.

Throughout our fired adobe, hacienda-style home you'll find rustic woodwork and cathedral ceilings; hardwood, brick, and Saltillo tile floors; and works of noted local artist and astronomer William K. Hartmann. Outside are courtyards, patios, desert picnic tables, and a swimming pool where you can enjoy the tranquility of the desert without leaving comfort behind.
