The Desert Nook, is a great place to stay when you plan to
hike or ride your bike in Tucson, AZ .
It sleeps 4, is a 1 bedroom with a full petite kitchen,
table for 8, is filled with art and the Mexican tile floor
I laid, private access to the pool/hot tub, and laundry if
you stay long enough. There's an outdoor porch off of the
entrance with chairs, it's a perfect place to sit and
watch the desert. It is close to hiking and is a great
Tucson neighborhood with access to coffee and food by
bike. She is randomly open but does teach a clay class
with an outdoor kiln and sometimes even a letterpress
class. Ask in advance. The phone number for the Desert
Nook is (520) 297-2790, ask for Char.
