Hi, I’m Della.
I found this A-frame half-swallowed by creosote, restored it over two years, and now I host it myself — close enough to drop off firewood, far enough to leave you alone.
I found the A-frame in 2019 — sun-bleached, half-swallowed by creosote, with a roofline I couldn’t stop thinking about. Two years of careful work later, Saguaro Hollow is the desert hideaway I always wanted to disappear into: warm wood, soft light, a deep hot tub, and a sky so dark you can read the Milky Way like a map. I host it myself. When you book here instead of through an app, that booking fee stays in your pocket — and you get me on the other end of the message.
Why book direct with me
The apps are great for discovery, but they add a service fee on top of my rate at checkout — roughly 14%. When you book here instead, that fee disappears and the difference stays with you. You also get me: real answers, usually within the hour, before and during your stay.
I keep the Hollow to a high standard because it’s mine. Professional cleaning between every stay, balanced hot-tub water, fresh linens, restocked coffee and firewood, and a private local guide so you spend your time out here, not on your phone.
What I’m about
- Honest photos — the place looks like the listing, or better.
- Flexible, human cancellation. Life happens; just message me.
- Dogs welcome on the fenced acres, and families are my favorite guests.
- A returning-guest rate for anyone who books direct and comes back.
