I had a great time staying at this Casita. Wayne and Marylin were excellent hosts and just genuinely kind human beings. Would 100% stay there again and I look forward to keeping in touch.
Private and secluded, well stocked, comfortable, spacious. Owners are accessible and wonderful. Great access to Mount Lemmon, shopping, parks and restaurants.
we very much enjoyed the stay. we told the hosts that the place is better than the pictures. The hosts have been kind, responsive and accomodating. The view is beautiful, the place very pleasent. Recommended
Terrific location. Great hosts. I’ve been renting places different times of the year in several different countries. I’ve never stayed in any place that had more amenities than Casita Naranja. Wonderful stay.
Beautiful view. I loved sitting on the patio reading and watching and listening to the birds with the mountain view. Great location. Spacious. Had everything we needed. Hosts were wonderful. We highly recommend this place!
The casita is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood and has a nice patio to enjoy the scenery. The casita itself is very comfortable and had all supplies we needed. Wayne and Marilyn made sure we had everything and are wonderful hosts. We enjoyed our stay there!
This stay was just what we were looking for in a quiet, peaceful casita. The views were amazing morning, afternoon, evening and nights. We were there during a monsoon and it was so gorgeous the lightening. There's such a natural setting around the home. It's quiet, comfortable and the owners very friendly. We recommend the home and would stay again.
We found this place perfect for some rest and relaxation. Very quiet and away from the noise and bustle of the city. Great views of the valley and the sunrise over the Rincon Mountains was a great way to start the day. Wayne and Marilyn were very gracious hosts. Would return in a second.
Wonderful casita in the beautiful rolling hills of east Tucson. Close to everything but in a very private location. Everything was provided and then some. We will definitely return!
Casita Naranja is pure delight! The setting, decor, comfort all superb.... the hosts Marilyn and Wayne incredible! Fingers crossed we shall return soon. The best!!
Gorgeous, well equipped, private casita with spacious shaded patio overlooking the Rincon Mountains. Serenaded in the evening by resident Great Horned Owls, and gently awakened by quail, and doves.
Hosts live on site and were generous and attentive to our needs.
Would return again and again.
I picked Casita Naranja for my week-long climbing trip because of its location to the Catalina Highway and Mt Lemmon, and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Close enough to Mt Lemmon to get quickly to the areas at which I wanted to climb but near enough to shopping and dining for great convenience. Very quiet and the hosts were fantastic. I’ll stay again without any hesitation.

Charming, spacious, comfortable casita
Everything the three of us were hoping for. Charming, surprisingly spacious, deliciously private, well stocked and cool in the desert heat. The best part is a huge porch overlooking the dreamy, sonoran landscape from top of the hill. Memorable BBQs and early morning coffee. Thank you🌹 We will return!
This is our second stay at the Casita and it was as enjoyable as the first. I like to bike and it is close to mt bike trails and safe road rides around Mt Lemon and Saguaro National Park. The hosts are great. Our favorite part of the property is the outside patio where we can grill and enjoy an adult beverage.
