We spent five glorious days in mid April at the cottage of this wonderful bed and breakfast. Owners were so friendly and helpful when needed, but we had all the privacy we wanted. Afternoons on the veranda after a big day of hiking or site seeing were a bonus. Directions to Gates Pass for a fabulous sunset and driving directions... more

My wife and stayed there this past March. First off, the location is PERFECT. Easy walk to 4th avenue, the University area and even downtown if you like to walk. The room was nice but needed some updating (knobs falling off and such, not a huge deal). The room was very clean and organized and included a small refrigerator (more... more

We go to Tucson once or twice a year, and this was our second stay at the Big Blue House. This is the best location from which to experience urban Tucson. It's walking distance to the University and Fourth Ave., which has lots of coffee houses, cool shops and restaurants. One could theoretically walk downtown, too, although we ended up... more

We stayed at BBH for 2 nights on a bicycling trip. The owner/managers went out of their way to answer any questions and to assure us our bikes would be safe in the van. Note: parking is on the street, but it's a nice neighborhood and they have video surveillance cameras. We had no problem. Comfy beds and nice in... more

The BBH is a great alternative to a hotel, especially for visitors in Tucson for a longer stay. The room I stayed in was large, with upscale furniture, modern bathroom, and a reasonable kitchen. The UA campus is an easy walk and Time Market and 4th Ave restaurants are very close. At roughly the same price as the Plaza (Sheraton),... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Big Blue House. It is ideally located in a quiet area yet within easy walking distance of a selection of small individual shops and restaurants. Near to the University and facilities in that area. The local bus stops across the road if you don't want to walk. Our room was for an extended... more

The Big Blue House has a wonderful location. It is within walking distance of numerous places of interest -.the Univerisity of Arizona - many restaurants and shops etc. It has a wraparound porch filled with comfortable seating. It is a stretch to call it a B and B for actually it is apartments where you can fix your own simple... more

I've stayed at the BBH several times. My first time was amazing. Everything was perfect. The location is great, the rooms are beautifully decorated, and the owners are extremely friendly. Everything is relatively new, and CLEAN, so it's easy to feel very comfortable. My last time, I didn't have a hair dryer in the room, so I went to go... more

The B&B was great and really clean. Easy walk to the University and MANY local restaurants and shops. I stayed for a week and having a kitchen to make my own meals and store food was a great advantage, time saver, and relief as it is often difficult to find healthy, diabetic-friendly options at restaurants and shops. Will definitely stay... more

We enjoyed our stay at The Big Blue House. Lea recommended room 5 to us and it was a good thing she did, I took 2 more people than I orignally started off with, and when I got there Lea was ok with that. Room 5 is awsome, it's beautiful. I loved the house and the fact that there was... more
