We loved our guest house casita and stayed 4 nights. Private courtyard and backyard patio. Lovely little place with all comforts accounted for. Great location for biking the Loop, and hiking Sabino Canyon, Catalina SP, and Saguaro NP. Our hostesses were delightful and readily available to offer suggestions and answer questions. We would return at any opportunity.

Warm and Kind

I stayed a weekend at this cute property and Ginger was amazingly comforting. She and her partner have a quiet place that is cozy and quiet which was perfect. Little details such as the maps of things to do, a binder of nearby restaurants and grocery, even extra blankets and pillows in the closet in case needed were the little extra touch.
