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.

A large house with warm in winter and cool in summer environments. Full kitchen with great treats and lots of coffee choices. Plus so close to Oracle State Park. Enjoyed staying there.

This was my first time in AZ and I couldn't ask for a nicer place to stay. With only being an hour away from Tucson its surprising but the night sky was breathtaking, the community was friendly and walking up the street to the little neighborhood park for a morning walk gave to some amazing sunrise views. The home itself was an amazing comfortable and clean spot to cook and relax in. The owner is extremely kind and generous, very communicative, and you can really tell she puts a lot of time and effort into making the house a home and makes sure your stay is the best it can be. Definitely hoping to be staying here again

We stayed for three nights and enjoyed it very much. Lots of local hikes. Oracle State Park is very close to the house. And the Oracle market and Café is delightful. The house is set up with everything you would need and lots of extras as well. It’s very quiet at night. Incredibly comfortable bed. The house is very well sorted and Adrienne was great to communicate with.

Comfortable desert home near two state parks and lots of hiking and mountain biking trails. Perfect for anyone looking for a little outdoor adventure. The house is located in a peaceful neighborhood with a nice park just down the street. The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals and the host even provides snacks and a breakfast treat for your first morning.

The house is completely updated, has cheerful decor , and highly quality brand appliances, including the outdoor grill. The house feels extra spacious due to its generous 12 foot high walls. The house is well stocked, including extra bed linens. The master bed mattress I slept on was amazingly comfortable, and the sheet, blanket, bedcover combo was perfect for finding the right warmth/coolness throughout the night. And the kitchen! The coffee and coffee creamer selection is incredible. Vonnie provides both ground coffee and Keurig cup options—including decaf—and a dual Keurig coffee maker that provides both drip/carafe and K-cup brewing options. She also provides a large bowl generously stocked with a surprising variety of packaged snacks that can accommodate both the health conscious travelers and the ones with a bit of a sweet tooth. Vonnie also provides some breakfast goodies, with several options to suit guests’ tastes, to get them started off on their stay. The location obviously is not for the person who wants to do a lot of touristy things in a place with a vibrant night culture of fine dining and bars. For those who are interested in exploring the outdoors—or even working remotely in a quiet getaway—it is a great location. There is a dollar store in town that has a nice little supermarket within it that has a good variety of food selections. Vonnie is a superb host who is dedicated to ensuring that your stay is a good one. You are in good hands staying at Desert Gem!

We had a wonderful time at this house. Location was super convenient for us and our host was so welcoming and responsive. We loved the thoughtful extras like the baskets of breakfast options and choice of coffees. The place was immaculate and the beds very comfortable. Would highly recommend.

We had a great 3 week stay at this property. Great communication with the host. This home exceeded our expectations. Coffee, muffins, oatmeal, granola bars all upon arrival and got us through until we did grocery shopping the next day. The home is fully stocked as we cooked a lot of our meals there. Highly recommend this home and would definitely stay here again. One highlight was the ATV rental from Titan located in the town of Oracle. This was an amazing all day rental that gets you out into the parts of the area you would never be able to do hiking. Oracle State Park is located just a few miles down the road. Nice place to hike and eat lunch.

From the moment we arrived, Vonnie’s place felt like home. We enjoyed our stay and plan to return next year. My husband Wally spent the days hunting coues deer while I worked from home. Our little dog Kasey Rae enjoyed the grounds and inside. The king bed was incredibly comfortable. The home was clean and well-supplied with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Vonnie even had coffee, breakfast muffins and treats to tide us over until we could get to a grocery store. Thank you! We will be back.

My family and I spent a long weekend here in March 2021 and loved it. The house is perfect for the outdoor adventurer and is for those who like to be a little ways away from the big crowds. Oracle is a cool little town north of Tucson (but not too far north) that provides the perfect jumping off point to various state and national parks in the area. I'm an avid astrophotographer so the location was perfect at night with quite a dark sky to work with. The stars here are amazing The property owner is very responsive and the house is spacious and clean with comfortable beds and modern appliances for cooking if you plan on making your own meals. Will definitely return the next time I plan a trip to the Tucson area.

Peaceful location, clean house, Friendly host, she provided snakes and coffee for us l! that’s sweet for very late check in the earlier morning around 2:00 A.M. , also in Tucson need to drive many miles away to any convenient store to get food:( none open until that late! So she was a very thoughtful host! only thing we need is 100% blackout curtains for day time sleepers, Hope the bedding will be better as I provided for my guests a standard 5 stars ⭐️ Hotel Collection sheets, comforter and pillows of Egyptian cotton! And if could use pure white sheets will be the best! So you can see if they clean or not after washed! Pillow could be heavy weight or medium or thin, so guests can choose what they like 👍 ! I have problem for change new bed and pillows, I barely could sleep on the first night! The bedding is important for guests! Could use door curtain instead of the master beds closet door, too many doors open to same directions in a tinny bathroom, it’s dangerous! I even smashed my middle finger between hall way door, was painful and bruised badly next day! Those shower shampoo and conditioner put into the shower caddy was not convenient, hard to use the shower 🚿 head when bottles were in there, if have moveable shower 🚿 head will be the best, In a whole, she did a great job ! Except high charge of cleaning fee who did not use the kitchen or grill! It’s fair to people who use those kitchenwares and everything! Thank you for let us stayed at your beautiful home! Good job 👏

Very nice, clean home. Owner very friendly. Nice that it is located very close to Oracle state park. Small market and Dollar General in town, however, larger grocery store in Catalina. There is another person that lives in a camper on the property. This person was friendly and respectful of my privacy.

Awesome kitchen with newer appliances the same as I have at home! Open floor plan and clean which is my most important criteria!! It is in a remote location with no sidewalks to walk our dog. So if you don’t mind driving a long way whenever you leave, this location is for you!
