Glory in this serene three acres of desert and landscaped gardens right in the center of town!

Southwestern décor and gourmet southwest cuisine combine to pamper and entice you to stay longer. Laurie and Bob are educators and travelers; their eclectic taste and interests may match your own or may spark yours!

Bedrooms are themed for the books and travel décor at home in each. The hot tub is perfect for a soak under the brilliant stars. Near U of A and historic downtown. Handicapped accessible throughout with an ADA bathroom and guestroom available.

Minutes from the University of Arizona and the historic sights of Tucson's "Old Pueblo" Historic District, The Congenial Quail is in an easy living, central location for exploring all of Southern Arizona.

A short drive takes you to seasonal skiing, to the world famous Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum, to the charm and spiritual renewal to be found at the Kino Mission San Xavier del Bac, or to the futuristic adventures of the Biosphere 2 Project.

Walk to the fine shopping of the Tucson Mall or horse racing at Rillito Downs. Take some exercise on the banks of the usually dry Rillito River. But, mostly, soak up some of Tucson's fine sun on our patio -- with all the comforts of The Congenial Quail right at hand.

Mexico is but an hour south; the Apache stronghold of Cochise and Geronimo lies a few hours east; the legends and color of Tombstone and Bisbee are two hours southeast; to the west is sky-searching Kitt Peak Observatory; and, the finest collection of Ansel Adam's photographic prints to be found in the world is a mere ten minutes away.

The Innkeepers:

Laurie and Bob Haskett call The Congenial Quail home and want to share it with you. For over twenty-five years these educators have enjoyed a life of academics, travel, art, and an interest in and passion for foods and their preparation.

As you set out for a day of desert adventures, Bob and Laurie can arrange a picnic and offer options for gourmet dining when you return.

Breakfast and Meals:

Awaken to fresh brewed coffee or a pot of tea. Have some juice or fruit. A classic frittata or a spicy Southwestern variation will be a perfect start to your day. You'll savor these flavors in morning sunlight as it filters onto the Arizona room porch where your meal is served -- right outside your room. Later, the spacious living, dining, and game rooms offer relaxing diversions.

Lunch and dinner is available upon request and included in your room rate are afternoon snacks & beverages.

Special meals such as gourmet, low fat, restricted and vegetarian are also available.
