At 8,000 feet, in the town of Summerhaven, AZ (70 mins from downtown Tucson), the 'Deck House' is the perfect getaway from Tucson’s summer heat as well as, an ideal winter holiday destination. This 2,200 sq. ft. cabin home is ideal for family gatherings (up to 10) with comfortable indoor spaces and 3 outdoor decks. The cabin is a 2 minute drive from the main Hitchcock Highway and is a 15-minute walk from town. $325/night. Additional fee for over 6 guests (including kids). 'Week Stay' discount.

The space
The photos provided coincide with this description of the space. There are four, off-road parking spaces at the cabin. Once parked, walk up stairs to the first large deck, enter the cabin through the front door into a mud room, then walk through french doors into the main level, with its open floor plan that includes: a dining area with seating for as many as ten and a second large deck to the right through sliding doors; a kitchen area with gas stove top and electric oven, ample counter space & three counter stools on the dining area side of the counter; and a living area with a large couch & love seat facing a wood burning fireplace and a pool table in the rear.

Walk up the stairs from the main level to the second level to find an open space/landing (with a gas fire stove) perfect for yoga, reading, & lounging around and three bedrooms and a laundry room with washer/dryer. The 'Master Bedroom' has a king bed & a small deck, the 'Valparaiso Room' has a double bed, and the 'Harry Potter Bedroom' has a queen bed. The second level landing has two fold-out, floor futons to accommodate extra sleepers.

Walk up the stairs from the second level to the sleeping loft which has two twin beds - for kids and the young at heart.

There is a bathroom (with standing shower) on the main level and a bathroom (with bathtub and shower) on the second level.
• Washer and dryer on second level
• No air conditioning (not needed); ceiling fans on second level.
• Lots of stairs
• Suitable for children; no smoking; no pets (no exceptions)
• Sleeps 8 on beds; 2 floor futons

For entertainment, in addition to the pool table, there is a large collection of games and puzzles, as well as, a guitar, keyboard, accordion, oil & water paints, and even a slack line for outdoor fun. There is no TV at the cabin but there is a DVD player with screen in the Master bedroom and a large selection of DVDs.

The 'Deck House' has three decks:
• A large front deck with views into mature pine trees and Adirondack seating for spotting deer or Jazmyn (the local mule) or night time viewing of the north sky.
• A 2nd large deck off the main level dining area has wrap around bench seating, outdoor dining table/chairs, additional Adirondack seating; perfect for gathering around deck fire place; deck is surrounded by mature pine trees and an apple tree (large Ponderosa pine rises up through the deck).
• An intimate deck off the master bedroom; a perfect place to sit and sip coffee.

Connecting with the World:
The cabin has 5G WiFi. We have had multiple computers accessing internet with no problems. The cabin does not have a landline telephone, but our mobile phones (Verizon) get good reception. We have a small library of books to enjoy!

Our cabin/home is in a quiet residential part of Summerhaven, therefore we cannot accomodate large gatherings (i.e. wedding parties, graduation celebrations, etc.). Parking is limited to 4 vehicles.

Guest access
Our family uses the cabin when it is not being rented, so it is well maintained and lovingly cared for. The kitchen is fully equipped with spices, condiments and cookware.

Other things to note
Our cabin is located in a residential neighbor and sound travels in the mountain. For that reason, we have limited our occupancy to 8 (which the cabin easily accommodates). Please, no groups larger than 8, no loud music outside on the decks and quiet hours after 9. Thank you in advance for respecting and preserving the gifts of nature for all!
