What Makes This Casita Special
You’re likely to hear owls at night, donkeys at breakfast, and maybe spot a tiny gecko on the wall at dusk. It’s quiet. Warm. Private. And designed to feel like home without the chores. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the sun or unwinding after a day of exploring, this space invites you to stay awhile.
Local Perks
• Ask about horseback rides from the property and fresh farm eggs
• Nearby hikes: Bear Canyon, Sabino Canyon, Mt. Lemmon, Saguaro East
• Easy drive to: Old Tucson, Desert Museum, U of A, Downtown Tucson
• Restaurants, urgent care, groceries, and shops all within 5–10 minutes
Important to Note:
As of January 2025, construction has begin on property to the south. While it’s outside our control, daytime construction noise is probable. Feel free to message us with questions about your stay or timing.
We’ve lived on this land for nearly 50 years, and we still find new beauty in it daily. When you stay with us, we hope you’ll feel that too.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Our Desert Casita.

About the host
Hosted by Brenda
Born in Texas and Raised in Arizona. I've lived on this property since I was 10 years old! That's a long time. I love it here and love sharing it with others. The awe folks feel when seeing the mountain views from the front door are something I wish I could bottle up and sale. We have always called it our island slice of heaven here on earth.
Why they chose this property
Desert all around and gorgeous mountain views! I love that we live in on private family property that used to be considered rural! While we've been annexed into the city it still feels like country living because our family owns16 acres. From our property there is easy access to hiking, biking and a short drive up Mt Lemmon to the most southern ski resort in the United States. I love that my grand children are growing up in the same home I grew up in. Saguaro National Momument is not far where you'll see majestic Saguaro cactus and amazing views. Sabino Canyon is just around the corner when you visit be sure to take the tram ride up the canyon you will be mesmorized by the beauty I call home. The question asked is why I choose this neighborhood the truth is my parents choose this place to be home and that it has fulfilled and beyond all expectation.
What makes this property unique
I believe you will feel at home. I have designed the Casita to be comfortable, with everything guests need to feel like they belong right here.
