| Introduction |
|
Desert Trails Bed & Breakfast is a stone's throw from Saguaro National Park East and only fifteen miles from downtown Tucson. Located on the eastern end of Speedway Boulevard - where this main thoroughfare is just a two-lane country road - we offer you the best of both worlds. Just far enough out to be away from noise, traffic, and light pollution of the city (on a clear night you can see the Milky Way), but still close enough that a twenty minute drive takes you to some of Tucson's finest east-side restaurants. Situated on three acres of natural desert bordering the national park, Desert Trails lies in the shadow of the Rincon Mountains where the cacti of the Sonoran Desert give way to the mesquite bosques of the Tanque Verde Valley. Our goal is to provide guests a relaxing stay in a casual, rural setting. Hiking, birding, and horseback riding are literally just outside our door. |

Throughout our fired adobe, hacienda-style home you'll find rustic woodwork and cathedral ceilings; hardwood, brick, and Saltillo tile floors; and works of noted local artist and astronomer William K. Hartmann. Outside are courtyards, patios, desert picnic tables, and a swimming pool where you can enjoy the tranquility of the desert without leaving comfort behind. Sociality or seclusion: the choice is yours. |

Breakfast is served in the dining room from 7:00 to 9:30 AM. You choose the time you'd like to eat; a take-out breakfast is available for folks who want to get going before 7 AM. In addition to a full breakfast which changes daily, we also serve a continental buffet that includes cereals, yogurt, fruit, and fresh baked goods. Variety is the spice of life and full breakfast offerings range from regional specialties, Huevos Rancheros Con Platano Frito and Eggs with homemade Chorizo and Green Chiles, to Banana-Walnut Pancakes, Eggs Florentine, and vegetarian favorites such as Poached Stuffed Apples Topped with Yogurt and Berries. Be sure to advise us of any special dietary needs and/or preferences you may have and we will do our best to accommodate them. Fruit, snacks, teas and instant coffee are available throughout the day in the breakfast room and complimentary soft drinks and bottled water can be found in the guest refrigerator. |

In the breakfast room you'll find the guest phone, microwave, and tea kettle and a collection of books, videos and games. All guest rooms and the guesthouse have wireless internet access, TV/VCR/DVD, clock radio and hair dryers. In the Great Room you'll find a collection of restaurant guides and menus, trail guides and maps and area guides. The pool is open year round but is unheated and can be extremely invigorating during the winter. |
