Ann and Bruce are great hosts. They keep the house sparkling clean and welcome guests with homemade cookies and more. Casa Reina is our home away from home on our annual trip to Tucson. Ann is an artist and has carefully curated an inviting Southwest treasure. We enjoy our time there and hope you will too.

This was a perfect spot for our trip! The property was safe and clean and absolutely beautiful. Plenty of space! My husband and I traveled with his parents and we didn't feel cramped. It was a perfect blend of privacy and communal spaces. Close to everything (well, speaking as a Tucson-native, it's as close as anything is in Tucson lol) and in a safe neighborhood.The hosts were incredibly kind and communicative! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or to recommend it to friends! It was absolutely perfect. Thanks, Ann and Bruce, for a marvelous stay!!

The house was scrupulously clean, generously stocked (we really didn't need those three rolls of toilet paper we brought just in case and we really appreciated the water and sodas in the refrigerator), and so comfortable we felt at home the moment we walked in the door (and we loved the patio and the delightful decor in the living room). The kitchen had every amenity necessary. The neighborhood was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go and at the same time amazingly quiet. Ann and Bruce were quick to respond to any query. We're already talking about returning to Tucson to see the places we missed and we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. Thank you!

The location was great! Our house made us cookies which was nice. We choose to stay at a VRBO so have the option of cooking. There were very little staples like seasonings, tin foil etc. There isn’t much storage in one of the bedrooms. We had to put our clothes in the drawer in the hallway. The smaller bathroom had no counter space to put any toiletries. These are all personal preferences. The backyard is beautiful and a nice space!

My wife and I and our dogs spent five night visiting Tucson (we lived there for years back in the 90s). The house and grounds were even cuter in person and made an excellent central base for our trip. Pups appreciated the dog treats!
