We are fortunate here at JTH Tucson to be surrounded by 40 acres of the most biologically diverse desert in the United States. Sonoran desert wildlife is a unique mix of animals traditionally associated with the desert Southwest (like rattlesnakes and coyotes) along with animals that travel up from Central America (such as jaguars and […]
We love to start our day with a good cup of coffee, and our absolute favorite is roasted by Exo coffee– so we asked their owners, Amy and Doug, for their advice for brewing a barista worthy cup of coffee at home. For the best tasting cup of joe, Amy and Doug recommend using a […]

As the days shorten and nights grow chillier, we’re entering the desert’s version of cozy season. This year we are embracing the familiarity of revisiting our old favorite trails and restaurants, but also seeing them in new ways since we now have our toddler daughter along with us.

If you’re planning a visit to JTH Tucson and want to experience a really unique day trip, then don’t forget to pack your passport! The vibrant border town of Nogales, Mexico is just a short, scenic drive away from us. From JTH Tucson, it’ll take you about an hour and a half to reach the […]
One of our absolute favorite spots to grab a cocktail in Tucson is Westbound. We always recommend for our guests at JTH Tucson to pop by their bar and bottle shop, which is located on the westside of Tucson in the MSA Annex—a cute outdoor shopping and dining area housed in shipping containers. We asked […]
The high desert region known as Joshua Tree really encompasses three different towns with stretches of the National Park in each: Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, and 29 Palms. As a visitor to the area it can be confusing to figure out how to plan your days so you’re not driving back and forth between different […]
We are so lucky to live in and host our guests in two locations with incredible creative communities: Joshua Tree, California and Tucson, Arizona. During a stay in either location, you’ll find that our spaces are filled with special pieces by artists, makers, and small shops we admire. Both our inn in Tucson and our […]
The bone soaking heat of summer has arrived along with the ripening of cactus fruit and the most vibrant sunsets of the year. Summer days are a little slower (and a little sleepier). We’ve found the spaciousness of Ocie Elliott‘s music to be the perfect soundtrack these days. This season’s playlist is a particularly special […]
