AREA
This stunning 3,000 sq ft custom southwest traditional home (with an additional 1,000+ sq feet of covered patios) is situated on 3.3 private acres in the Tortolita Mountains foothills of the northern Tucson area, adjacent to the Dove Mountain resort community.

The majestic Sonoran Desert is breathtaking and perfect for biking, hiking or just relaxing and taking in the surrounding beauty. Enjoy the private setting with incredible views while maintaining a close proximity to shopping, great restaurants and some of the best golf Tucson has to offer.

COURTYARD
Open the gate to the serenity of the front courtyard, perfect for enjoying your morning tea, curling up with a book, or sharing intimate dinners. The soothing fountain, whimsical hummingbirds, comfortable furnishings, and magical evening lighting offer unique solitude and a calm hideaway.

INTERIOR SPACES
The villa interior opens to the spacious great room with polished concrete floors, high beamed ceilings and impressive custom woodwork throughout. With its championship billiard table, 60-inch flat screen, Bose surround sound and the latest media choices, this great room offers countless entertainment options.

Discerning cooks will feel inspired in the fully equipped kitchen, outfitted on par with a primary residence complete with stocked spice cabinet, and a full compliment of gadgets, small appliances and even china place settings. No detail has been spared. (Many guests comment that it is better outfitted than their own kitchens at home!)

The over-sized king Primary Suite is beautifully appointed and includes an office work space, views of the Catalina Mountains and direct access to the covered patio, hot tub and swimming pool. The Primary Suite bath provides a large walk-in shower with dual heads, and separate soaking tub perfect for indoor relaxation.

The Primary Suite and three equally charming guest rooms all include flat screen TVs with DishTV/Hopper DVR access and Blu-ray DVD players.

Bed arrangement includes: Primary Suite - King, 'Tahoe Bedroom' - King, 'Southwest Bedroom' - Queen, and 'Route 66 Bedroom' - 1 Queen & 1 Full.

OUTDOOR SPACES
While the home's interior is very comfortably furnished and equipped, Arizona life is all about the outdoors. Enjoy the exquisite weather year-round from the expansive outdoor living spaces including fully furnished covered patios, spa and heated swimming pool with natural boulder water feature just steps away.

Lose yourself in the surrounding beauty, sunning in the lagoon or napping on the covered pool-side Bali Bed by day; or gazing at the stars and city lights while gathered around the gas fire feature by night. This Sonoran oasis is truly enchanting with its intimate privacy, solitude, and surrounding desert foothills beauty.


Transportation Notes: the route to Casa Campana includes a very short (1/8th mile) segment of flat, compacted gravel road between our lane and the city street. This is not unusual for the area.

As noted in our Rates section, Pool Heating is optional and not included in Rental Fee. Contact owner for estimate and more details.


It is our sincere pleasure to welcome you to Casa Campana.

Fantastic, well-appointed home in outstanding location.
My wife and I spent 10 days at this wonderful home in September. The property is even better than the online pictures portray. On arrival, we were greeted by a welcome bag packed with Arizona goodies! The inside is lovely with a fantastic great room with large TV, beautiful kitchen with all appliances and there is even a pool table! Mark and Susan were very helpful both prior to our travels and during our stay - they were happy to answer any questions regarding the property and local recommendations. The home was clean, well-maintained and the outside areas were wonderful to pass the day, watching and listening to wildlife...hummingbirds were a particular favourite! The pool is fantastic and many hours were spent swimming and relaxing in our beautiful, private surroundings. The stars were incredible to see at night-time! The house is located in a desert setting but you are also close to amenities including the Ritz-Carlton at Dove Mountain which is a lovely place for an evening drink! We would highly recommend this home - we created some fantastic memories and were lucky to be able to catch up with our American side of the family who we invited over one evening to share our experience at this villa. Big thanks to Mark and Susan - everything was thought of and we can't wait to return to Arizona! Will & Charlotte, U.K.

Tucson oasis
Six of us stayed in this cozy house for 6 days. We had more than enough room. We explored the area and had fun playing ping pong , pool and sitting in the hot tub. Would highly recommend this house and host. We had everything on could possibly want when away from home. Also the beds were very comfy! We would definitely stay here again.

Incredible Tucson Property!
We have been renting houses for vacations for about five years and Casa Campana was by far the best overall experience we have ever had. We had two three-person families (all related) and our dad, for a seven-person group. Communication before we arrived was comprehensive and timely. When we arrived, the fans were on, the air was on, music was playing and a lovely gift bag was waiting for us. We have never felt so welcomed! Amenities were in large supply, including paper towels, diswashing pellets, detergent and other disposable products that we normally have to purchase at the grocery store. Value and convenient! The property is secluded, quiet, immaculate and a wonderful place to enjoy Tucson. The online photos don't do it justice. The house itself, on the inside, is even nicer than the photos indicate. It is truly amazing. We rarely eat out on these trips and the kitchen was loaded with dishes, glasses, pots, pans, knives, silverware and anything else we might need. We also utilized the outdoor cooking area and it is sensational. Everything is in working order and maintained to the highest standards. We enjoyed many games of pool in the billiard room. Televisions are all cable-equipped with instructions. WIFI was strong. Extra bonus - parking both cars in the garage to keep them out of the heat. The outdoor living area and pool were heavily used and are spectacular! We can't wait to come back and give Casa Campana our highest recommendation. Could not be happier! Thanks!

Amazing house!
This is truly an amazing house. We have been renting properties all over the world for decades, and this is one of the finest we have ever stayed at. Impeccably maintained and set up for your convenience. Everything is automated so that you don't have to worry about a thing. We had a family of five adults - parents and our daughter, son and daughter-in-law. Lots of space to hang together or to be alone and peaceful. Mark was a fantastic host, very communicative and even bought yoga blocks so I didn't have to pack them. Would heartily recommend to anyone staying in Tucson!

Magical Home
We had a wonderful stay in Tucson over the Christmas period. The owners made this exceptional property even better by anticipating our every need and hosting us so we felt right at home. They accommodated us when we needed to change due to weather and made certain we were comfortable. The home is immaculate and well stocked. Great private location but still close enough to groceries, etc. The backyard is amazing and the Bali Bed is a magical experienced. We witnessed beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We hope to return to Tucson and would absolutely stay at this property. Thank you to Mark and Susan.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Susan

Host profile image
We purchased this property after falling in love with Southern Arizona, its desert beauty, and the wonderful year-round weather. Being long-time Seattle area residents, it has been a welcome respite from the damp northwest winters. The weather here cannot be beat!

We enjoy all that Arizona has to offer - abundant golf, tennis, hiking, wildlife, cuisine, and most of all, Sunshine!!

We enjoy visiting as often as possible, for both needed R&R as a couple, as well as with extended family to reconnect. It is our hope that our guests come to love the property, amenities, and ambiance as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property was chosen due to its uniqueness, privacy, and tranquil setting in the beautiful Sonoran Desert. Unlike many vacation rental homes situated in dense neighborhoods, our guests enjoy significant privacy in a quiet peaceful suburban ranch environment (3+ acre and larger properties).

After an extensive on-line and in-person search, this home (later named Casa Campana – or ‘Bell House’) was the clear choice for these and many other factors that hopefully guests will experience and come to love for themselves.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of this property include the pristine desert setting, abundant privacy and open space, many custom details inside and out, and the overall peacefulness it exudes.

Although the existing custom home provided a good starting point, we spent over a year developing the overall property into a premier vacation destination drawing on our experiences traveling to small boutique resorts in the US, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Those reference points contributed to adding just the right furnishings, amusements, relaxation options, and luxury amenities to make Casa Campana an exceptional experience. This applies equally for those vacationing as families, as we do with our own young adult children, or as couples seeking rest and tranquility.

Many guests have commented that their time at Casa Campana was like a retreat at their own personal, private resort. We couldn't agree more!
