About this property

It's a one of a kind artistic living space designed to comfortably integrate visitors into the splendor of the Sonoran desert. The master bedroom portion with it's own kitchen, master bath (shown), hot tub, and patios can also be rented separately as a studio rental for those on a more limited budget who don't need all 4 bedrooms.

Alma Del Sol is a short 30 minute drive to downtown Tucson and situated on eight acres of saguaro studded property on the outskirts of the city in the foothills of the Tucson mountains.

World renown sights such as the Saguaro National Park, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Old Tucson Amusement Park with its famous old west movie sets, and most other major attractions being only minutes away.

Private oasis & Minutes from hiking

Loved the location & open space. Be ready to drive the pass to get into Tucson - extra time but so worth it. Great hikes only a short drive away. Wonderful star gazing at night on the deck & a daily hot tub relaxed the body/mind.

Great family getaway

After a long winter, the warmth and beautiful sunny panorama was such a treat for our family vacation. A wide range of hiking options within a short drive, including the Desert Museum gave us plenty to do. Lots of space for 8 of us. Marshall was a great host.

Family get together

Beautiful setting, kitchen well equipped. It was a little far from the grocery store but worth the trade off to be it such a natural spot.

Beautiful desert retreat

Thank you for sharing your home with us. We had an incredible stay with our extended family of 10 including 1 toddler. Marshall was kind enough to have the crib set up for us prior to our arrival. The beds were comfortable and there was an abundance of all the necessities (towels, wash clothes, etc). The kitchen was well equipped and we had plenty of glass and table ware for our entire family. We enjoyed the grill on the covered patio several times, and was a great place to have coffee for sunrise in the morning and adult beverages at sunset. The living room sectionals were huge and allowed all of us to lounge comfortably. The grounds were a wonderful desert oasis. The location could not be more perfect. We were within 5-10 min drive to the Arizona-Sonora Desert museum, Saguaro National Park (West), Gates Pass, and so much more. We could have easily spent the entire time within 5 miles of the home. We did multiple trails near the home with my two favorites being King Canyon trail (Wassan Peak) and Valley View Overlook trail. We did venture out to do the Mt. Lemmen scenic byway through Coronado national forest, which was beautiful, and we were quite surprised about the amount of snow still at the top of the mountain. Tumamoc hill was a steep but wide, nicely paved path with a great view of Tuscon. We still have several trails that we hope to check out the next time we come to visit. Shout out to the Barrio brewery for their great food (had the Sonora dog) and beers (loved the Nolan Porter). Thank you again Marshall and Glenda for a wonderful stay. Look forward to staying at your home again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Marshall Colley

I'm an artist and teach middle school art. I also owned a solar energy company which led to the construction of Alma Del Sol, the name being a play off English and Spanish, mean Soul of the Sun (Sol).

Why they chose this property

I built this home myself as a reflection of my commitment to environmental concerns and issues we face and must find solutions for. This rental allows me to share both the artistic aspects and environmental design that should be the aesthetic in everyone's life, if it's not, you don't know what you are missing.

What makes this property unique

Views, views and views of Mountains and the most surreal cactus environment you will ever experience, as the home is located adjacent to the Saguaro National Park. Due to it's proximity to the National Park, most of the major attractions are only minutes away.

In addition, this home is made of real mud adobe and will give you an incredible architectural experience. Despite it's 10 acres of privacy, it's only a leisure 30 minute drive from downtown Tucson.

It has modern entertainment systems, so after a fun day of running around you can relax to a movie, listen to music, soak in a hot tub and enjoy the benefits of free broadband WiFi to keep you in touch with family back home.
