About this property
Saguaro Casita- A Tiny House Among Majestic Cacti!
Welcome to My Tucson Casita – A Hidden Gem in the Sonoran Desert
Nestled in the heart of Tucson, this charming casita is more than just a place to stay—it’s a home with a story. I grew up right here, surrounded by the magic of the desert and the wisdom of a dear friend. The original owner of this casita, a wonderful woman who was 74 when I was born, became my best friend. She instilled in me a deep love for nature, teaching me to appreciate the unique beauty of the Sonoran Desert—the towering saguaros, the brilliant sunsets, and the incredible diversity of wildlife that call this place home.
This space is peaceful, filled with character, and perfect for those who want to experience the magic of Tucson firsthand. Whether you're sipping coffee on the patio as hummingbirds flutter by or stargazing under the vast desert sky, you’ll find tranquility and inspiration here.
Our tiny home is perfect for solo travelers but can comfortably accommodate two with a convenient trundle bed, offering both space and cozy charm.
This casita sits on a gated 2-acre property, offering a secure and spacious environment—perfect for travelers with bikes, gear, or other valuables they need to store in their vehicles overnight.
I’d love to share this special place with you. Come and stay in a casita that holds decades of warmth and history—you just might fall in love with Tucson the way I did.

About the host
Hosted by Thelma Gutierrez
I’m a proud Tucson native with deep roots in this desert community. After graduating from the University of Arizona, I spent years traveling as a news gypsy, exploring stories across the country. But no matter where I roamed, Tucson was always home. Now, I’ve settled back into the town where I started, surrounded by the landscapes and traditions I love.
Why they chose this property
I didn’t just choose this neighborhood—I was born and raised here. My family’s history is woven into this area, and my dad himself cut the main road with his truck when it was just a dirt path. For me, this casita isn’t just a home; it’s coming full circle. It’s a return to the place where my journey began, surrounded by familiar desert landscapes and the warmth of a tight-knit community.
What makes this property unique
This tiny house may be small, but it offers a grand view. The large picture window frames towering saguaros that have stood for over 200 years—living landmarks of the Sonoran Desert, growing just an inch every 12 years. Right outside the door, miles of trails invite you to explore the rugged beauty of the landscape, while the casita itself is perfectly situated to face away from the main house, offering privacy and uninterrupted views of the majestic Catalina Mountains. Nestled on a gated 2-acre property, this peaceful retreat lets you experience the quiet magic of the desert while still being close to everything Tucson has to offer.
