My wife and I stayed in the cottage and were delighted with it. Clean and well decorated, comfortable bed, great kitchen and perfect hosts who stocked it with cereal, milk, yogurt, juice, coffee and muffins (yum). We stayed here as a base for touring around Southern AZ and had a great time. more

My husband & I just came back from a great trip to Tucson. We stayed at the big blue house for 3 nights and had a great experience. The price was very reasonable about $80 cheaper than staying at the Marriott or Hyatt plus we had a kitchen stocked with all sorts of breakfast options. It was a nice &... more

This is the best Bed and Breakfast I've ever stayed in! The room was great, I loved that you could have breakfast in your room at your leisure, and I didn't even relize when I booked that it was in walking distance to Forth Ave - my favorite area of Tucson. Tons of geat restaurants two blocks away. Room three... more

I just loved the Big Blue House. The room was super cute, well appointed, spacious and clean!!! The innkeepers were friendly and accommodating. Bonus-Room 4 were I stayed has it's own private entrance. The price for what you get is a great value-better than many hotels I've stayed at. Lots of breakfast goodies and filtered water on hand too. I... more

While planning our first visit to Tucson, four friends and I spent a lot of time searching the Internet for an interesting, reasonably-priced place to stay within the city for four nights. Among the many available accommodations, the Big Blue House kept popping up. As advertised, the Big Blue House is indeed a unique boutique hotel (a huge, historic house... more

We picked the Big Blue House from the internet and were totally pleased with everything about it. The apartment was just right for the two of us and the kitchen was regularly stocked. We also had fresh fruit daily. Probably the most important, to us, feature was the pleasant atmosphere, the friendliness of the owners. We had many insightful conversations... more

Thank you for making our stay a wonderful visit. My daughter and I came to Tucson for a desert biking retreat. After our excursions, the Big Blue House was such a welcome respite. Sitting on the porch relaxing with a book was another high point for us. All of our needs and comforts were met and we loved our visit.... more
