Coming from Australia my 17yr old son & I wanted to experience the desert environment ourselves on mountain bikes. We were really looked after at WOW. Loved the bikes, the food, etc and falling into cactus (something that must be experienced...... read more

We took a chance - booking a week here, site unseen. Absolutely NO regrets. The most amazing birds, flowers, plants, mountains! The food was excellent and the hosts a delight! The rooms are not fancy but are clean and have everything you need (we... read more

Mountain biking is what brought me to this place. All bikes SJ rents are full suspension Cannondales. All in great shape. I've got the Prophet, which was really fun to ride! He also borrowed me all other gear as camel-bag, helmet, tools, air pump,... read more

My wife and I live in Tucson, and I wanted to plan a fun, adventurous mountain biking trip for her. She's been riding before, but I had not. We went riding for a day at Way Out West with CJ, and spent a beautiful spring night relaxing afterwards... read more

Things that bug me (besides the usual clean and nice stuff).... 1) Margarine. Margarine is wrong if it's all that is offered on your toast at a B&B. Especially icky tasting margarine. These guys offered both- excellent idea. 2) Marginal fare.... read more

Wish we could invent some new words to describe how enjoyable our visit to WOW was. "Special" and "unique" will have to suffice. This is the perfect way to experience Arizona flora and fauna. CJ and MaryEllen are fun,... read more

WOW is the perfect base to sample the most awesome trails i have ever ridden.CJ and Mary-ellen took perfect care of us even shuttling my father up to the trail head to give him an easier start while CJ guided me and my brother up to the 50 year... read more

Way Out West is a great little place... Very personal and personable. Awesome access to the trails and to nature right out the front or back door.

You didn't ask about the strongest points! The yard was beautiful beyond belief and filled with bird activity. An extensive bird feeding area kept birds in close. Extremely convenient to hiking. MaryEllen is a fabulous cook; but I wasn't there... read more

Staying at the “Oasis” was really the highlight of our trip. We contacted CJ and Mary Ellen after being completely dissatisfied with a B&B in Tucson…and fortunately they were able to accommodate us. Thank Goodness we found them. We immediately... read more

Spent a few lovely days with CJ and Mary Ellen during a work conference. What a wonderful thing to come back "home" after a long day at the conference to such a place. Mary Ellen even packed me a lunch! Don't miss the hot tub on the... read more

A friend and I stayed a week with CJ and Mary Ellen at their comfrotable B&B located in the Santa Catalinas. We were there primarily for mountain biking but found the stay with CJ and Mary Ellen offered much more. The flora and fauna just... read more

Great place to stay for a mountain bike trip. Ideally placed close to the trails, so after a great breakfast it's a hop on the bike and the trails start in the yard. CJ has a wealth of knowledge of the trails and is happy to show them to you.

CJ is my brother, but the couple of times that I have been there were fantastic! Rooms are great, clean and comfy. If you just like to kick back and do nothing, that is great too (something that I love doing). The views are fantastic! CJ & ME... read more
