A little piece of heaven
I was in Oracle for work and found this little gem. My co-worker and I stayed at Sue's cottage for four nights and we couldn't have been happier. We had long days and it was so nice to come back to a quiet and comfortable place to relax. Our only regret is we didn't get to meet Sue or explore the area around the cottage. Hopefully next year when we're back.

We had an awesome experience staying at Sue’s little cottage. She was a very wonderful host. The place was perfect for a couple. Sue provided us with everything we needed. The establishment next door of the antiques/unique stuff was awesome. We definitely plan to come back. 😀

Cozy haven in central Oracle
I had a lovely, peaceful stay here. The location was very near my activities in Oracle, right on the main road. It was a breeze getting everywhere I needed to go. At the end of each day, I would return to my cozy bed. I had everything I needed and was comfortable. Communicating was easy, and the host was nice. I would definitely stay here again!

Quirky, fun, pleasant experience...
It's kind of a strange environment... loaded with quirky old stuff... but, fun. Cottage is crude looking from outside but, very nice and clean inside... well stocked with most anything needed. We really enjoyed staying here and want to return soon for the Wednesday evening party time. The long time owners (Jerry and Sue) are very friendly and excellent hosts. We think most folk would enjoy staying in their Sherman Cottage... and, in the scenic mountain foothills village of Oracle... just a few miles from the famous Biosphere... near a very interesting Zipline complex... beautiful Peppersauce Canyon... and less than an hour from Tucson.

Great spot for a getaway!
I was looking for a place to get out of the city and get in a few days of writing, and this was perfect! Sue was a fantastic hostess, and I was able to write with minimal distractions (there is no wi-fi and no TV, and cell service is limited), but when I needed a break the property had two consignment shops, an onsite store for the lavender farm next door, and even a stand selling coffee, made-to-order omelets, and really tasty chili. Just down the street there is a great little market with a pretty good selection of gourmet foods, including gluten-free options and an Italian deli. The apartment itself was roomy and well-decorated, with a full kitchen, comfortable bed (and two twin beds I did not try), furniture that was both sturdy and cozy, and a cool back patio where butterflies and hummingbirds, and the occasional hoot of an owl, fueled my creativity. I am already making plans to visit again with my husband (or maybe just a couple of friends!).
