Pleasant casita

The casita is nicely decorated, clean and well appointed. Some areas of property are rather cluttered. Host responded quickly to a maintenance issue. Enjoyed the birds and nearby hiking.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Oct, 2024
I appreciate your four-stsr review, but I believe you did not give recognition for the fully stocked guesthouse. Our sunset views are unparalleled. Sorry we didn't meet expectations; I'll address concerns. No match ligher required; but there were two, new knive provided. Keriug operational. Slow drains occasionally, a result of 1969 construction, shouldn't impact use. If seeking luxury, consider $300/night five-star hotel. I continually improve amenities, prioritizing guest experience.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Friel

Host profile image
Been in Tucson most of my life. Can say I'm a native because I moved out here when I was two. Father built the house and guesthouse while working a full time job, raising 6 kids. I am a Life Enrichment Director and work with seniors. I love working with seniors. I love entertaining, hiking, biking, pickleball, working out, water sports, swimming, and country music. I love to cook and always trying new recipes.

Why they chose this property

This property is special because my father built it and yet it is old but has a lot of memories and charisma. Lots of family and friend events have been here on the property. I got married in the back yard and have hosted a few weddings, many birthdays, bridal and wedding showers.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful sunsets. Spectacular Mountain View. And if you’re into Pickleball, have a beautiful Pickleball court in the backyard.
