If the chain properties bore you, you will love The Big Blue House! You get the conveniences of the chain properties in an ultra-charming setting with the warmth of caring hosts. An added bonus is conversation and traded experiences over breakfast with the interesting guests the Inn attracts. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

We stayed here a couple of weeks ago, for two nights. The room was great and the wrap around porch very relaxing. It was nice and quiet and we could walk to the University or dinner nearby. Laslo the cat was best friends with anyone who would pet him. Breakfast was great one day and so-so the next. It would... More

Spent 3 nights at the Big Blue House during the 4th Avenue Street Fair 2013. Wonderful accommodations, friendly hosts, and a very nice breakfast every morning. Only 2 blocks from the Street Fair, which we enjoyed immensely. We stayed in Room 1, Zen, and felt like we had our own private front porch sitting area. Great location in Tucson! It... More

We did not find this place a joy to stay there. First, the room promised was not available, so the host folks switched us to a lesser room. Secondly, the gentleman was short and not helpful when we called for a check-in time. Thirdly, we communicated three different times about a diet need we have. Yet, the need was ignored.... More

Very comfortable room. Great breakfasts. Terrific location for walking to the University. Lea and Ken were extremely helpful, not least in storing a number of parcels for me prior to my arrival. Really enjoyed sitting in a rocking chair on the spacious verandah. I'll definitely return and strongly recommend BBH to friends planning to visit Tucson.

Just spent six nights here while attending the Tucson Gem Show. Felt like home after about two minutes. Lovely room with our own door and porch. We met a lot of people this week and the Big Blue House was SO much nicer than where anyone else was staying. Really a home from home, and in a great location, just... More

Quiet rooms with private entrances. Wrap around porch for glass of wine/conversation. Good bed--I slept better than I usually do. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of hot food and pastries plus good coffee. I will stay here on any return trips. Location was very convenient and easy to find.

This was an awesome place to stay. We loved the antiques and not being in a "cookie cutter" place. The attention to detail was great! We really took advantage of the in-room kitchenette (they even supplied the coffee and juice). We arrived very late and were readily accommodated! We will definitely return to The Big Blue House!

Great unique place to stay. It's like a b&b but with more privacy. The owners were great and there were lots of extras in the room plus a hot breakfast-not just muffins/pastries. Will definitely be back.
