About
The Palisades Ranger Residence Cabin is located within the Palisades Administrative Site in the Santa Catalina Mountains, 20 miles northeast of Tucson, Arizona. Reached via the Sky Island Scenic Byway (Catalina Highway), the drive takes visitors through multiple biozones from the Sonoran Desert floor to dense forests at 8,000 feet elevation. This five-room electric cabin accommodates up to four guests and includes a bedroom with a queen bed, living room with two full-size futons, dining room, full bathroom with flush toilet, and a fully equipped kitchen with propane stove/oven, microwave, refrigerator, cookware, utensils, and dishes. The large enclosed front yard features a picnic table, fire ring, and propane grill. Guests must provide their own food, sleeping bags or linens, pillows, towels, dish soap, matches, first aid kit, toilet paper, and garbage bags. Maid service is not provided; thorough cleaning including dishes, floors, countertops, and bathroom is required before checkout. Cell coverage is limited. Access is via keypad entry with a lockbox for the house key.
