Desert · Sun · Stars A boutique retreat on the edge of Saguaro National Park West in Tucson, Arizona
Some places you stay.
Some places stay with you.
The Oasis at Cat Mountain is a desert retreat set on 13 acres of Sonoran landscape just outside of Tucson, Arizona. Here, the saguaros grow tall, the stars shine bright and peace and quiet aren’t so hard to come by.
Hacienda-style courtyards and wraparound porches invite you to slow down. There’s a private observatory that’s steps from your door. And, if you’re patient, you may come across Juanita Wayne – our friendly resident desert tortoise who’s been calling The Oasis her home for years.
The kind of place you find and keep to yourself.
The Property

The Lodge
Hacienda-style rooms with a shared courtyard and the deep quiet of the desert just outside.
The Inn
Rooms and suites with serious Southwest character — and the best seat on the property for Cat Mountain at golden hour.
The Casitas
1,200 sq ft dwellings with full kitchens and room to settle in. Built around what was once a John Wayne museum in the '50s.
The Casas
The Tucson homes bring the leisurely attitude of The Oasis into the heart of the city. Minutes from the University of Arizona.
Explore the New Frontier
Spencer’s Observatory sits just steps from the Lodge courtyard — your gateway to some of the darkest skies in the American Southwest. A guided tour here will remind you just how small, and how lucky, we really are.
