Sanctuary Cove

Overpriced for services there, and the property manager will gladly keep your entire deposit for any slight infraction of your contract. Insufficient parking available for elderly/handicapped guests.

A lovely respite and great place to hike or walk. Adjacent to Saguaro National Park, this land is private property that is open to the public. A trailhead for Safford Peak begins here. There is a non-denominational chapel on the property, as well as a private guest cottage. You can park on the road outside the gate or park inside the gate (where a $5 donation is requested). It's a lovely, peaceful place to visit.

Sanctuary Cove by itself is a unique experience. There are a few structures around the grounds and the beautiful rock arrangement is a must see. There are a few trails that are relatively short and easy and if you are lucky you will get to see deer .

What a wonderful oasis of calm and beauty in the Tucson Mts. There are ample opportunities to feel the calming presence of the desert as you sit and meditate or take to hiking trails in the nearby area.After enjoying our visit to the Cove, we walked down the Scenic Dr. and crossed into Saguaro National Park and hiked along the Sombrero Trail. Although we didn't make it to the top (and NEVER will!), it was a splendid hike.You can even get married here for $400. Caretakers are on the property...comforting to know it's being watched over.Thanks, Sally, for finding this beautiful place and first posting about it.

We had my dad's celebration of life here on January 14th. While the venue and the sighs are spectacular the staff is horrible at best. We paid money for absolutely nothing. Everything they promised did not happen. I called repeatedly to ensure everything was set to no avail. No returned calls! The grounds keeper Jillian was an absolute joke! We will be pursuing a refund since they didn't provide any services! So sad to take advantage of people this way!

The Sanctuary Cove is a spiritual oasis. Visitors can pray, meditate or reflect in this private and peaceful place. My visits here are very uplifting.

Nice trails, too bad they don't allow dogs. The small little church is very cute. The trails are in great shape. This is a great place to make your way to safford peak as well.

Stunningly beautiful, it was an amazing experience. We plan to go back. The chapel, the labirinth and all the hikes.! Amazing.

The Sanctuary surroundings are amazing - love the Sonora desert! We stayed at the cottage for one night and really enjoyed the sunset and sunrise experience. I think it's great that dogs are not allowed, but was disappointed to see that hikers ignored this environmentally responsible rule and brought their dogs anyway.
