"My stay at Lauren's was great. Lauren was a fine host and made me welcome. My room was exactly as shown in photo, and conveniently located next to the bathroom. I (and the other guests) had free use of the house's common spaces and outdoor patio---all decorated with Lauren's art. I was typically out during the day, but would sometimes come home to find an interesting conversation going on amongst other visitors, over glasses of wine--a pleasant and mellow ending to the day. The neighborhood and area are fine. I would stay at Lauren's again, and would definitely recommend it."

"I stayed in Lauren's airstream for one month while escaping winter in Montana. It was absolutely perfect. Comfortable, cozy, and not at all cramped. The patio is lovely and filled with many succulents and flowering plants. Every morning the birds were singing. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Lauren and the other guests... really wonderful, interesting people. The neighborhood is conveniently located and quite pleasant, with a fabulous coffeehouse, bakery, and pizzeria (among others) within easy walking distance. My month in the desert was quite special, a time I will treasure, and the airstream was a home away from home. Thank you Lauren!"

"Lauren was a great host. The room was nice and quiet. She had a wonderful outdoors area for relaxation. It was a great place to stay. Thanks again Lauren.

My host was VERY welcoming and always helpful in finding my way around - her home & the town and surrounds. She provided places for food storage and cooking. Her home is also near so many different places to eat, hike, shop - anything one would want.
Most important to me, my host helped to create a sense of community that I never expected to experience and that became a very important part of my whole trip. And she also provided a place where one could have privacy. A great combination.
Another aspect, is the beauty of her home - inside (the artwork & way she decorated with colors) and outside (her gardens!).
I also felt that my lifestyle fit well with the "community" and it was great to have met & talked with my host & all the other folks staying there. Loved it!"

"Once again, Lauren was a gracious charming host. Last year, I stayed in her airstream in delightful semi seclusion.
Although I wanted the same situation for this year's gem show, this place had already been rented. I was, however, able to secure a room in her house with its own private entrance. It was a wonderful room with a phenomenal bed. I was gone most of the day, but it was nice to have interaction with other interesting occupants. Did I mention she has beautiful cats? I would highly recommend Lauren as a host."

"Lauren has crafted what many attempt, but few realize: a true home away from home. She and amazing and interesting women that pass through the door comprise a fascinating and diverse community of people that can make any traveller (long or short term) feel both welcome and safe. My month long stay was not long enough."

"Staying with Lauren is always enjoyable. The location is easy to find and is relatively quiet. The rooms and home (and cats) are inviting. Everything is as described. Lauren's a remarkable person - a gifted artist, world traveler, articulate communicator with a vast body of knowledge and wide variety of life experiences, and gracious host all rolled into one."

"I really enjoyed staying in my colorful and cozy room at Lauren's home. She is a warm and welcoming host, and I liked the people I met who were also staying with her. It was a perfect place to be."

"From the moment I entered Lauren's home in Tucson I knew I was in the space of an artist. Not only was my room, A Colorful Room in Central Tucson, artfully and colorful, but so was the rest of the property, indoors and out. I especially liked the camaraderie that was afforded by the other women travelers, interesting and exciting people, from around the world who were guests during my stay. Lauren was a gracious host, attending to all our needs and keeping the kitchen and bathroom spotlessly clean. I haven't had an experience like this for many years and really enjoyed it. The cats, Lucy and Lulu, are precious, as are the others, the garden and patio areas and the overall ambience. It was easy to get anywhere in Tucson from here. Would stay here again."
