About this property

The large one bedroom Casita is located on Santa Gertrudis Lane in Tumacacori. The location is absolutely perfect for those who enjoy nature, hiking, birdwatching, gallery hopping, horseback riding and experiencing the historic West. This area of Southern Arizona is just teeming with history. Our property was the location of a stage coach stop between Nogales and Tucson.
The Tumacacori Mission borders two sides of our 8 acre property giving our visitors a peaceful retreat and opportunities to easily explore the mission, the De Anza Trail Santa Cruz River and Tubac.

Casita Get-Away

We enjoyed the peace and quiet of this casita on an 8-acre property just minutes south of Tubac. We look forward to returning.

Close to Anza trail, quiet, cute

The casita (Queen 1b) was nicely decorated and cozy. We came for peace and quiet on New Years weekend and we’re not disappointed. There are 2 things that could help boost rating. Two large resident dogs roam around and poop everywhere and it was difficult to walk anywhere on the property without the risk of stepping in it. I’m a dog lover, we brought our 2 dogs but we always bag and dispose of their waste, which as a veterinarian I can state, does transmit disease. The interior of our casita was very nice, but the outside of the property as a whole could use a whole lotta love. We did enjoy our stay overall, especially the proximity to the Anza Trail. We learned from reading about the mission that the water in the nearby Santa Cruz River bed is mostly treated effluent and it’s advised to stay out of it. (After we unknowingly let our dogs walk in it and drink from it ) would’ve been nice to get a heads up from the property manager about that.

Perfect retreat for nature lovers.

Super cute casita hid among beautiful trees next to a historic national trail. If you adore nature, but also like the benefits of modern sleeping and cooking arrangements this is the place for you. They even have a great pool area! Some great added benefits for me was a delightful little bathroom with hot water and combo shower/tub, full kitchen and local tv, and I could bring my beloved little pets. The hosts had the Casita frig stocked with fresh farm eggs, butter, half and half, plus they gave me coffee to make in the morning. The check in process was easy and they had a list prepared of local markets and restaurants available within a short driving distance. This location is very quiet which was just what I wanted. I forgot only one thing which was to tell the host I placed some of their small glass bud vases in the dish cabinet up high so that my smaller pets would not break them. A final added benefit was there was some bug spray under the kitchen cabinet because being in nature the little bugs try to invade your space at night.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Sisco

My husband and I fell in love with this property located just outside of Tubac and off of the Santa Cruz River. We were bewitched by the history of the property and were compelled to renovate the buildings. We have put unique touches in each of our offerings to soothe our guests and renew their spirit. We are woodworkers and our studio is on the premises. We create functional art with local mesquite wood.
