Hosts were very kind. The casita was perfect for my husband and I. It had all the amenities we needed! Loved the location, and the scenery was amazing!!! So quiet, beautiful and tucked away in the hillside, but not far from the grocery stores, bike trail, and national park!!

Loved the natural setting, house was equipped with everything we needed, and so quiet, except for coyotes calling and javelinas getting into occasional squirmishes. A perfect desert stay. .

Great Hideaway in the desert; nestled into the desert rocks and blooms. Beautiful and well equipped with everything we could imagine or need. This adobe treasure was comfortable, clean, welcoming and a lovely getaway. We enjoyed breakfast on the front porch and evenings under the carport in the shade. Slept comfy in the bed! Highly recommend this jewel!

Super clean and organized property. Loved being able to walk around and see the wild life. Even though it’s 20 minutes from the airport you’d never know with how quiet it is.

Such a beautiful home, very comfortable for sleeping and hanging out. The property is amazing, secluded and nestled in nature but close to town. Very close to Saguaro National Park West. The nicest place I’ve ever rented.Hosts were also very responsive and professional. If I come to Tuscon again I won’t look anywhere else

It was the most AMAZING place for a get away for the 2 of us. The house is down a quiet road that is winding. The view was amazing, it was like we were out in the desert by ourselves. We saw all kinds of wildlife including Javalinas!

Thanks for the great review! It’s so exciting to hear how much you enjoyed the peaceful setting, stunning views, and the special visit from local wildlife. Your wildlife sighting reminded me of a photo I took of a tiny coyote pup sitting in front of the Casita gazing at its reflection in the window. Those moments really make a stay unforgettable and I wish everyone could experience that.
