My sister and I wanted to stay in the foothills to be close to friends, family and hiking. This was was the perfect place for our 2 week stay. The outdoor space is lovely. The indoor space was so well-stocked, comfortable and beautiful. It would be hard to ask for more. We were given access to pickleball rackets and balls and played 3 times on the wonderful court which is sunny in the morning and shaded in the evening. Five stars!

Location convenient and private and quiet. Things missing among bath supplies were that there were no washcloths nor soap for bath sink. But a lovely spot nonetheless. It would be nice to have stronger lightbulbs in a few spots but really? I had no complaints and very much enjoyed my stay. Oh: the door connecting to the main house seemed broken/insecure. But again these are minor notes and my stay was very comfortable; really nice: a respite.

We enjoyed the outside patio for breakfast and dinner although there arent any mountain views fromth patio it still is quite charming and pleasant. The inside is small but well equipped from spices to coffee. The decor is lovely a lovely walk in shower and luxurious bed linens. Highly recommend for 10 year olds a d up too small for toddlers. We enjoyed our stsy. Great breakfast pasteries from Le Buzz snd Whole foods close by.couples and 1 or 2 children

A Tucson Gem!

This lovely Casita was perfect for our visit to Tucson. It is well appointed, with upscale appliances and indulgent amenities. The decor is thoughtful and tasteful with romantic but contemporary design. We especially enjoyed the privacy and quiet of the courtyard and views over Tucson from the beautifully landscaped property. I hesitate to rave too much, lest this hidden gem become too popular and reserving a return visit more difficult!
