5/5 This is a perfect little home to stay at. Quiet, clean & everything you need is here. Our hostess Vonnie was very accommodating. Check in-out was extremely easy & she even provided a pastry for our breakfast & left a basket of goodies. There were also a variation of coffees/teas & creamers. We truly enjoyed our stay.

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.
