Clean and homey stay in Oracle
5/5 This place is immaculately clean. Having kids, you always end up wiping up a little water from the floors from spills and splashes and almost every time a scary amount of dirt comes up with the paper towel. Not here - spotless house! In addition to being extremely clean, the home is well stocked and feels cozy. We were surprised that there is a travel trailer onsite (behind some fencing that sort of subdivides the lot) in full view of the patio/front of the home. While the occupant seemed very nice and it wasn't a major detractor in the end, it did give a different feel from what we expected based on the photos, which are taken from other angles. We also found that the drive to Tucson from Oracle was a little longer than we expected and we spent a lot of time driving. That's totally on us as you can obviously map the path and get accurate estimates, but we somehow failed to really factor it in. There is a fantastic cafe in town and we did love the slower pace in Oracle.

Peaceful Comfort
5/5 The Desert Gem was a very comfortable home for our family members during their recent visit. The home was clean & well furnished with newer appliances & furniture. Our check in/out process was easy & the host very accommodating. Our host even dropped off muffins as a welcome gift. The location in Oracle was very peaceful & made getting around in the area easy. We would highly recommend Desert Gem to anyone hoping to enjoy a quiet, comfortable visit in the mountains outside of Tucson.

Amazing getaway
5/5 This was my first time in AZ and I couldn't ask for a nicer place to stay. With only being an hour away from Tucson its surprising but the night sky was breathtaking, the community was friendly and walking up the street to the little neighborhood park for a morning walk gave to some amazing sunrise views. The home itself was an amazing comfortable and clean spot to cook and relax in. The owner is extremely kind and generous, very communicative, and you can really tell she puts a lot of time and effort into making the house a home and makes sure your stay is the best it can be. Definitely hoping to be staying here again

Sweet and comfy close to hikes
5/5 We stayed for three nights and enjoyed it very much. Lots of local hikes. Oracle State Park is very close to the house. And the Oracle market and Café is delightful. The house is set up with everything you would need and lots of extras as well. It’s very quiet at night. Incredibly comfortable bed. The house is very well sorted and Adrienne was great to communicate with.

Clear star gazing
5/5 A large house with warm in winter and cool in summer environments. Full kitchen with great treats and lots of coffee choices. Plus so close to Oracle State Park. Enjoyed staying there.
