Hosted by René
Joined in Oct 2025Hi, I'm Rene, and my husband’s name is Michael. Originally from Portland, Oregon, our family relocated to Tucson to enjoy more sunshine, be closer to loved ones, and to make a big change in lifestyle. We’re part of the warm and friendly Central English Congregation, and we share our home with two beloved kitties - Lenny and Pepper. We also love to travel and draw inspiration from the wonderful places we’ve stayed. We manage a couple of vacation rentals ourselves and strive to create thoughtfully designed, comfortable spaces for guests to enjoy — just like the ones we cherished during our escapes from the gray Northwest winters. The desert is such an incredible place to explore, and we love helping others fall in love with it too!
