When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. So when we married we moved to Washington DC knowing that in time we would make it west. 5 years later, when the traffic and the politics has taken its toll, we made a trip to Tucson and fell in love with this charming property that exudes all the beauty and grace of the Sonoran Desert. We looked at each other as we walked around looking at the stunning Mtn. Views and the mesquite fence and knew we were finally "home."
I've always adored the SW Hummingbirds and wanted to name the property La Hacienda Chuparosa. When we moved in, for the first week, every morning a hummingbird was sipping nectar from one of our plants in the front yard. We knew it was meant to be.
So we added a couple of horses to our dream, built some stalls, and now are ready to welcome you to La Hacienda Chuparosa. We know you will find the same magic here that we do.

Spent two nights at TerraSol! We were very pleased with everything. The kitchen was super helpful as we cooked a couple of our own meals…Mary has thought of everything. It was also a quick walk into town which we enjoyed as well! Everyone was very friendly.

Toni & Karl’s property was safe, clean, and FUN. Wish I was in more of a social mood when I arrived, but I was ready for bed!
There was a little something for everyone. They had Dirty Dancing projecting onto the wall over their pool when I visited & a few tables of smiling faces.
I was worried about finding a spot to rest my head with the annual Tucson rock & gem show being in town, but Toni & Karl pulled through for me last minute. I arrived in just a SUV, and they made room for me. Very kind & welcoming! 10/10 recommend!

Terra Sol was the perfect stop on our bikepacking trip through the area. Mary has truly thought of everything you might need for a comfortable stay including insulated tent pads, hot showers with soap and towels, yoga mats for stretching, a kitchen, and loaner bikes you can take into town. We enjoyed chatting with Mary and meeting other bike packers during our stay. Highly recommend!

We have stayed at dozens of RV parks, hotels, and AirBNBs. This was our children’s favorite.
Great vibes, very welcoming, the common areas were second to none.
A fire and a movie and a place to play board games in beautiful weather? Yes, please.

The pictures are beautiful and eye-catching, but they barely scratch the surface of the alternate universe you step into when you arrive at El Pais Motel and Campground. From the moment we pulled in, it felt like we were part of something special.
The drive-in movie night with popcorn, the food truck and snacks, on-site laundry, and the welcoming community space all made the stay incredibly comfortable and memorable. Add in the creativity woven throughout the property, and it easily became one of our favorite stays to date.
Huge thanks to Jade and Karl for creating such a fun, thoughtful, and unique experience. We will absolutely be back!!
