About Cat Mountain Lodge - Tucson, Arizona - A Bed & Breakfast in the Desert!

~ About Us ~

Cat Mountain Lodge aims to minimize impact on the local and global environments by conserving energy, water and other natural resources, reduce waste by recycling and purchasing recycled products, minimize light pollution by adhering to strict guidelines, and reduce or eliminate the use of toxic materials by substituting natural products whenever possible.

Our Lodge was completed in February 2010 and great care was given during construction to have as little impact as possible on the surrounding desert. It was built using state-of-the-art products to conserve long-term energy usage, and our landscape was completed using all native plants and locally-purchased, recycled landscape materials. For water conservation, we installed barrels to harvest rain water and an underground tank to store gray water for use in irrigation.

In our day to day operations, we eliminate the use of chemicals through botanical controls such as organic insecticides & fertilizers combined with strategic trimming. Our rooms are maintained using natural cleaning products, and our fine linens are carefully laundered using perfume-free, biodegradable, no NPE detergent and softener.

Our guest rooms feature green details such as Energy Star air conditioning/heating units with ionizers to minimize allergens, all-cotton sheets, blankets & towels, down duvets, both down & hypoallergenic pillows, and bulk, organic bath soap, shampoo & body wash. We believe we have reached a balance between being Earth friendly and maintaining the comfort and satisfaction of our valued guests who are always welcome to offer suggestions, as well as participate in our efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle!
