General Information

Desert Trails B&B is a stone's throw from Saguaro National Park (east) and only 15 miles from downtown Tucson. Situated on 3 acres in the shadow of the Rincon Mountains where the cacti of the Sonoran Desert give way to the mesquite bosques of the Tanque Verde Valley. Inside our adobe, hacienda style home you will find rustic woodwork, cathedral ceilings, hardwood, brick and Saltillo tile floors, and the works of noted local artist/astromer William K. Hartman. Outside you'll find an enclosed courtyard, patio areas, picnic tables and a pool where you can enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the area. Sociality or seclusion, the choice is yours.
