Plentiful onsite parking in the secured fenced property.

Reach Rancho Hermoso easily off the freeway frontage road south of the Congress St exit, just turn right on 18th St to Kroeger Ln and your destination. Enjoy quick car access along I-10, into downtown, 4th Avenue & University areas, and across town on Aviation Highway (210).

Prefer to walk or bike? The Santa Cruz River loop runs just behind the property (access from the 19th street park), taking you north or south through town, or arrive quickly at stops for the Modern Street Car (Trolley) and the San Augustin Mercado district with multiple dining and shopping options.

While not onsite, we are available 24/7 for your needs and have local staff available to come onsite if needed.

Rancho Hermoso lies in the unique and exclusive niche neighborhood of Barrio Kroeger Lane, surrounded by historic Menlo Park, just minutes on foot from Mercado San Augustine and the Modern Street Car, and backing up to the Santa Cruz River loop, a favorite for biking, running, or hiking through its 53.9 miles of paved pathways along both sides of the Santa Cruz River and connecting with the Rillito, Pantano, Harrison Greenway and Julian Wash.

With easy access just off I-10, youre steps way from one of the best taquerias in town (Sonoran Delights with the fabled Sonoran Hotdog, authentic tacos and dinners, Raspados and Escamoches!), the Mercado San Augustine and its MNA Annex with multiple restaurants, stores, and bike rentals. Plus with the modern street car a 10-minute walk away youre connected to all thats cool about Tucson and its Downtown, 4th Ave and University Districts.

This sliver of a neighborhood enjoys being peacefully surrounded by undeveloped land on two sides, and the Santa Cruz wash on the third. The few neighbors here are primarily long time home owning families on their own generous lots.

Barrio Kroeger Lane Neighborhood is located below Sentinel Peak-- A Mountain-- along the Santa Cruz River, De Anza Trail, and across from the original birthplace of Chuk Shon (Tucson in the Tohono Oodham language). This land has been inhabited and cultivated for more than four-thousand years, and remains with a rural environment of horse/farm animals, wildlife corridor, and gardening. Families have lived in the same area for up to six generations, with stories of the flowing river and the continuation of horseback riding along the river banks much as Padre Kino did centuries ago.

Rancho Hermoso is easily reached off the I-10 Freeway Frontage Rd. There is plentiful free onsite parking inside the fenced property. The Santa Cruz River Loop provides pedestrian or bike access to nearby Mercado San Augustin and trolley & bus stops, as well as major cross streets and connecting to Rillito, Pantano & other river park pathways.

Rancho Hermoso uses gray water and as such no dying or other hair treatments, or other chemicals, may be used at the sinks.

No wipes of any kind, may be flushed in toilets. Toilet paper ONLY is allowed.

To keep cleaning fees low and Rancho Hermoso affordable for stays of all lengths, guests are expected to clean up obvious messes, leave few uncleaned dishes, and assist with linens by stripping beds and beginning a first load of laundry before departure. Guests are also responsible for cleaning and storing properly any amenities used, including indoor fireplace, patio tables, chiminea, and grill.

Rancho Hermoso offers both a moderate, and a discounted, non-refundable cancellation policy. If you select the optional, discounted non-refundable option, please be aware that refund will not be made under any circumstance, including medical or family emergencies.

Any pets must be disclosed when booking. Pets not disclosed but present will incur a fee of $100.

Any amenities used (grill, patio table, chiminea, etc.) must be cleaned and put away. Guests with pets must clean all animal waste from yards. A charge will be applied as follows if the cleaners must do any of these:
Dog poop in the yard - $25
Fireplace not emptied and cleaned - $20
Chiminea not emptied and covered - $20
Grill not cleaned and put away with cover - $20

Policies and Rules

Icon
Check In: 4PM - Flexible
You will use the two codes we give you to enter the gated drive and enter the house. These will be sent the morning of your arrival. The gate is manual and has a combination lock on it. The gate must be manually opened and it needs to be latched when it is in both the open and the closed position. When the gate is in the open position there is a pole with a chain and a carabiner on it and then there’s a little hook on the gate to latch the carabiner. When it’s in the closed position there’s a bolt that secures the gate and it has a hole in it that the combination lock goes through. It is very important to latch it in both the open and the closed position to make sure that the gate does not swing. The electronic keypads are no longer functional. Park to the left of the concrete pad and head directly in front to the porch and first door to use the code for entry, and to disable the alarm system at the kitchen counter. You may then open the sliding doors to the great room and master bedroom for easy load in. The same Door Code will also work at the front door and laundry room entrance. The same Gate Code will also work at a gate on the north side of property for quick access to the Loop (biking/walking trail) and Mercado.
