Everything was as advertised and we definitely enjoyed our stay, beautiful views in the area and relatively close to places of interest in Tucson. Our hosts were great! We liked it way better than staying in a hotel.

Thank you! We loved hosting you both! Come back anytime.
Even though we were only in town for a short time, this listing was PERFECT! Not in the middle of town where it would be noisy, super super pet friendly, such a cute place to stay. And the fact that there was a King size bed made it all the better. If I’m in town again I plan to see if this place is available as my number one.

This casita was very clean and comfortable. We stayed for 5 nights and appreciated the full kitchen, use of the pool and hot tub and peaceful backyard. The drive up to the casita is beautiful. The bathroom and kitchen have plenty of extra supplies and thoughtful touches. It was so much nicer than staying in a hotel. We hope to be back in the future!
First time to stay at a hosted property, and the experience couldn't have been better. Hosts were great and the room was larger and more comfortable than even the photos could convey, with plenty of extras. Overall, no complaints and plenty of praise.
Very safe neighborhood, gorgeous views, enjoyed my morning coffee on the patio listening to the birds. Hosts are accommodating and very helpful, the hiking and restaurant suggestions were much appreciated! Casita was clean, modern, and had everything we could ask for, including a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed with nice linens, and enough space to host another couple for dinner. Definitely want to come back, only next time will bring my bike :).
This is a lovely property and is well maintained. Chuck and Michelle were perfect hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. The casita was spotless and very clean - although we did not cook there were pots and pans and dishes etc. as well as every day spices, oil, etc. The bed was very comfortable as well as the pillows provided. There is a nice closet to hang clothes as well as shelves to put clothes on. There is everything needed - absolutely recommend!

My wife and I needed to stay in Tucson for two days. We had the choice of staying in a run of the mill hotel or staying at this small guest house residing adjacent to the main house. The choice to stay at the casita was the right choice. The quality of stay exceeds any hotel we would have stayed in. A big driver for me to stay here as well was the pet friendliness. This is genuinely a pet friendly location. We have a big dog and the property manager made it clear that our dog was welcome there. In short: here are a few great things about this casita:
• beautiful Sabino Canyon ergo views
• nice design with small kitchen and very nice shower
• open layout of the casita – great spacious feel
• privacy is provided by blinds and curtain
• friendly owners
• clean
So many positive things to write:
Gracious hosts, including their dogs. Remy and Luga allowed our dog space in the beautiful fenced in backyard and Remy taught our dog to swim in the pool and play a masterful game of fetch!
The studio space was the perfect size for this retired couple and large dog. We especially appreciated our own outdoor space/patio, the beautiful bathroom and shower, and the smart tv. Parking is safe and right next to the studio.
We didn’t even leave the space some days as we could walk throughout the neighborhoods and the washes- and enjoy the stunning views. Recommended restaurants were excellent and we found everything we needed close by. Parks and trails easy to get to.
We can’t say enough about Chuck and Michelle’s hospitality- they were welcoming and made us feel comfortable sharing their space and their dogs, who were not a problem at all, but were an enjoyable addition.
We loved the several weeks we spent here!

Ps Chuck, Hendrix asks that you leave a little more barbecue sauce on the grill utensils 😄.

I brought my 10 year old daughter & two dogs with me for the night. Upon arrival we noticed how clean, spacious & inviting the place was. Linens were freshly folded, plenty of blankets & kitchen had space if we wanted to utilize it. There’s a big dog door giving my massive dogs a separate space to use the bathroom too. Loved the privacy, would have loved to stay another night to enjoy the pool or hot tub. The bed was comfortable too! Would consider it again whenever in Tucson.

About the host
Hosted by Charles Helmke
We’re longtime Tucson residents who love the outdoors and everything this area has to offer. Hiking, cycling and spending time outside are a big part of our lives, so we especially appreciate being close to Sabino Canyon, Mt. Lemmon and The Loop.
We live on the property and take pride in making the Casita feel comfortable, private and well cared for. We’re nearby if you need us, but we also respect our guests’ privacy and want you to feel like the space is truly yours during your stay.
We enjoy sharing our little corner of Tucson with visitors and are always happy to answer questions, recommend a favorite trail, restaurant or local spot, or help with anything that comes up during your stay.
We also share our home with our friendly dog, so you may occasionally see or hear them while you’re here.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it gives us the best of Tucson—beautiful desert surroundings, plenty of space and a peaceful setting, while still being close to everything we use and enjoy. We can walk, run or ride our bikes right from the house, and Sabino Canyon, The Loop and Mt. Lemmon are all nearby.
We especially love the mature vegetation, wildlife, mountain views and the feeling of being tucked away from the busier parts of town. It’s quiet and relaxed, but restaurants, shopping and everyday conveniences are only a short drive away. After living here, it’s hard to imagine being anywhere else in Tucson.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property special is the combination of privacy, outdoor living and the feeling of being surrounded by nature. The Casita is a separate, comfortable space with its own private patio and outdoor areas, while the mature landscaping makes the property feel peaceful and tucked away.
We’ve tried to create the kind of place we would want to stay ourselves—comfortable, thoughtfully equipped and relaxed rather than fussy. The king-size bed, well-equipped kitchen and inviting outdoor spaces make it equally comfortable for a weekend getaway or a longer stay.
One of our favorite things about the property is how much life there is around us. Birds and native wildlife are frequent visitors, and there are wonderful places to sit outside, enjoy the weather and simply slow down. At the same time, active guests can head out for a walk, run or bike ride right from the property.
It’s not a resort or a cookie-cutter vacation rental—it’s a private little piece of the Tucson desert that we genuinely enjoy sharing with our guests.
