Arizona Zen: Anticipating Autumn in Arizona

Anticipating Autumn in Arizona

We're counting the days until we return to our Arizona home. As the weather gets wetter and the days get shorter here in Seattle, the Southwest is looking more and more enticing. We should be about to get away by mid October. We'll be driving down, and the road trip is an enjoyable part of the experience for us (except when we have to rush it).
Today is the first day of this blog, and the purpose is to create a resource for friends who rent or who would like to rent this house for a stretch of time in the winter. As we discover more and more interesting places to go and things to do in the surrounding area, we'll share our thoughts here. Hopefully, this will result in richer experiences for those who spend some time in Green Valley.

So cool. We visted Sedona in Dec 2008 and loved it.
This is going on my bucket list :D

About Us

We are a Seattle couple who purchased this home in Green Valley Arizona (20 minutes south of Tucson) in 2006 and totally remodeled it to our liking. We enjoy spending time there in the fall and in the spring, but most of our winters are filled with travel or other obligations and/or adventures. Our intent is to rent the house inexpensively to friends and acquaintances who will appreciate the spareness of the accommodations (no t.v., for example) and enjoy the amenities (see "About the House")This blog is intended to be a resource for information about the house and ongoing information about the area.

About the House

Located in the heart of Green Valley, close to shopping and amenities, this house provides a comfortable place to stay while exploring all the great things to do in the surrounding area. Within Green Valley, you have access to swimming pools, workout facilities, billiards, pickle ball, tennis courts and golf coursed (some fees involved) and in the surrounding areas there's lots of hiking, bird watching, Karchner Caverns, artsy Tubac, metropolitan Tucson and just a little over 2 hours away, the funky old copper mining town of Bisbee (our favorite getaway). And that's just some of what's out there...

The house is 1450 sq. ft. and has a large fenced back yard. It sleeps 4 in 2 separate bedrooms. One has a private bath and the other bath is in the hallway. There is also a queen size blow up mattress for additional sleeping. There's a Weber grill, a well stocked kitchen, laundry and 2 mountain bikes available for tenant use. The house has cable television and wireless internet connection The tenant is responsible for cleaning and washing the linens in readiness for the next guest. The price of the rental reflects the duties we are asking the tenants to assume. We have the contact information for house cleaners if anybody would rather go that route.
