Great House | Fabulous Host!
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!

Lovely Home
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.

Felt like home
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.

A peaceful spot, responsible landlord
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 👏

Nice place for a nice price.
This is a great place for a group needing a three bedroom. The owner is very considerate and truly wants to make your stay as comfortable as possible. She goes above and beyond to accommodate. All was great for our group (big game hunters for a specific area) very local to the area. However there are a couple issues you might want to consider Again, I am nitpicking as we had a great time. The water pressure is low. So your showers and sink pressure will be considerably lower than you will have at home if you are like me. The internet is spotty as it is in a mountainous area- and there is no live tv. There is ROKU TV- but not live news or sports. I would suggest bringing your own firestick if you have one. And there is a person who stays in a 5th wheel in a gated area on the other side of the driveway. He and his dog are quite friendly, but the pictures do not indicate this and if you hang out on the front porch- which is awesome, then you will (and he will) be directly in front of your frame of view. Again - not a big deal for us, but you should be aware- if you think this place is remote and free of neighbors. Kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, A/C and heating, grill and patio are terrific! I gave this place 5 stars because of the great communication of the owner and price per night. Would definitely stay here again next season.

Oracle Oasis
We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. Vonnie is a gracious host and available when we had questions. The house is immaculate and spotless clean, very comfortable, decorated nicely. A few of our favorite things about this property: sitting outside on the large patio watching the rabbits, squirls, and birds, the beautiful mornings and evenings, the comfortable living room for watching movies at night, the general ease and decor of the house. It really is a peaceful oasis! There are some great hiking trails to explore as well as the park. Our favorite restaurants are the Patio Cafe and DeMarco's Italian.
