  You can ride right to the Sweetwater Preserve (1.6 miles away) for single track mountain biking! The photos do justice to the casita and Buddy the dog is even more charming in person.

  We stayed here for five nights in February, 2013. It is a lovely place with lots of room. The property is also nice in the foothills above Tuscon and next door to the national park. We used it as a base for touring around Tucson. The hosts, Jim and Karen were most gracious. They are very knowledgeable about the area and provided excellent recommendations on things to do and see. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves here.

  We highly recommend this property for it's beauty and for the friendliness of the owners/hosts..We were made to feel extremely welcome as was our little dog who was totally intrigued with the owners dog . This property is in an extremely quiet yet close location to many attractions. Highly recommended as the place to stay if you want quiet and private.

  After our fourth stay with Jim & Karen & Buddy, I realized that, although we have signed the guestbook, we haven't reviewed the property for VRBO. This will rectify that. The casita is even nicer than the pictures on the listing make it look. Everything is very clean and up to date. The huge TV and entertainment system is a great way to relax in the casita, or you can choose from the 500+ books on every subject in the library. The location in the Tucson Mountain foothills is ideal - close enough to the city, but even closer to fantastic hiking on Mt. Wasson. Being in the foothills, you are in the middle of the desert with all the quiet and sky that goes with that. Coyotes can be heard in the night, and this last time we saw a javelina. While we haven't used the hot tub or pools, we sat next to them as we enjoyed the cocktail hour (peanut time) on the deck with Jim, Karen & Buddy. They can give you advice on the best spots to hike and the restaurants people like the best. Our favorites were Vivace for great Italian and a reasonably priced wine list, and Poca Cosa for Mexican food like you have never had before. Be sure to try their margaritas. We will be back again. It is so nice to have a place like this, for about what you would spend on a hotel.

  Our guest book, which is always on the desk in the bedroom, is filled with guest remarks from the past 4 years about how much they enjoyed their stay in La Casita. Come. You can read them for yourselves. Jim
