Work perfect for our trip to Tucson

Everything was as advertised and we definitely enjoyed our stay, beautiful views in the area and relatively close to places of interest in Tucson. Our hosts were great! We liked it way better than staying in a hotel.

Amazing

Even though we were only in town for a short time, this listing was PERFECT! Not in the middle of town where it would be noisy, super super pet friendly, such a cute place to stay. And the fact that there was a King size bed made it all the better. If I’m in town again I plan to see if this place is available as my number one.

This casita was very clean and comfortable. We stayed for 5 nights and appreciated the full kitchen, use of the pool and hot tub and peaceful backyard. The drive up to the casita is beautiful. The bathroom and kitchen have plenty of extra supplies and thoughtful touches. It was so much nicer than staying in a hotel. We hope to be back in the future!

More Than Expected

First time to stay at a hosted property, and the experience couldn't have been better. Hosts were great and the room was larger and more comfortable than even the photos could convey, with plenty of extras. Overall, no complaints and plenty of praise.

Fun and Sun ☀️🌵

Very safe neighborhood, gorgeous views, enjoyed my morning coffee on the patio listening to the birds. Hosts are accommodating and very helpful, the hiking and restaurant suggestions were much appreciated! Casita was clean, modern, and had everything we could ask for, including a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed with nice linens, and enough space to host another couple for dinner. Definitely want to come back, only next time will bring my bike :).

Fantastic!

This is a lovely property and is well maintained. Chuck and Michelle were perfect hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. The casita was spotless and very clean - although we did not cook there were pots and pans and dishes etc. as well as every day spices, oil, etc. The bed was very comfortable as well as the pillows provided. There is a nice closet to hang clothes as well as shelves to put clothes on. There is everything needed - absolutely recommend! Leslie and Chuck

My wife and I needed to stay in Tucson for two days. We had the choice of staying in a run of the mill hotel or staying at this small guest house residing adjacent to the main house. The choice to stay at the casita was the right choice. The quality of stay exceeds any hotel we would have stayed in. A big driver for me to stay here as well was the pet friendliness. This is genuinely a pet friendly location. We have a big dog and the property manager made it clear that our dog was welcome there. In short: here are a few great things about this casita: • beautiful Sabino Canyon ergo views • nice design with small kitchen and very nice shower • open layout of the casita – great spacious feel • privacy is provided by blinds and curtain • friendly owners • clean

So many positive things to write: Gracious hosts, including their dogs. Remy and Luga allowed our dog space in the beautiful fenced in backyard and Remy taught our dog to swim in the pool and play a masterful game of fetch! The studio space was the perfect size for this retired couple and large dog. We especially appreciated our own outdoor space/patio, the beautiful bathroom and shower, and the smart tv. Parking is safe and right next to the studio. We didn’t even leave the space some days as we could walk throughout the neighborhoods and the washes- and enjoy the stunning views. Recommended restaurants were excellent and we found everything we needed close by. Parks and trails easy to get to. We can’t say enough about Chuck and Michelle’s hospitality- they were welcoming and made us feel comfortable sharing their space and their dogs, who were not a problem at all, but were an enjoyable addition. We loved the several weeks we spent here! Lecia, Rob and Hendrix Ps Chuck, Hendrix asks that you leave a little more barbecue sauce on the grill utensils 😄.

We loved the space

I brought my 10 year old daughter & two dogs with me for the night. Upon arrival we noticed how clean, spacious & inviting the place was. Linens were freshly folded, plenty of blankets & kitchen had space if we wanted to utilize it. There’s a big dog door giving my massive dogs a separate space to use the bathroom too. Loved the privacy, would have loved to stay another night to enjoy the pool or hot tub. The bed was comfortable too! Would consider it again whenever in Tucson.

While we enjoy hosting, we respect your privacy and keep to ourselves, ensuring you have a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

We chose this property for its serene and private setting, surrounded by beautiful desert views and generous space between homes. The quiet neighborhood offers hilly walking paths right from the door, perfect for taking in the stunning scenery. We’re also close to fantastic amenities—Sabino Canyon is only a 10-minute drive, and grocery stores like Whole Foods, Bashas, and Natural Grocers are just 6-8 minutes away. Plus, you’ll find a variety of restaurants and access to great hiking and biking trails nearby.

What makes this property unique

Our casita offers a unique blend of tranquility, natural light, and modern design in a minimalist, open layout with views of our resort-style backyard, where you can enjoy the sight and sounds of local birds and wildlife. Inside, you’ll find a spacious walk-in shower, large closet, lighted vanity mirrors, and a Tempurpedic king-size bed. The cozy living area has a comfortable couch and a TV that swivels, letting you relax whether you’re on the couch or in bed. Nestled in a safe, secluded, and scenic neighborhood, you’ll be surrounded by quiet, hilly streets ideal for walking or biking. Just 10 minutes from “The Loop” biking/walking path, grocery stores, dining, hospitals, Sabino Canyon, and Ventana Canyon Golf Resort, and only 30 minutes to downtown and recreational spots, it’s an oasis with convenient access to Tucson’s best.
