This is our second time saying the casita and it was just as amazing as the first time. Nothing beats the mountain sunset and sunrise. Carol is an awesome host. I cannot recommend this place enough.

The Desert Casita is conveniently located near Catalina State Park which has beautiful hiking trails for every level. It’s also a short drive to Tucson attractions such as Tohono Chol and the beautiful Mt. Lemmon Drive. The casita was very comfortable and the grounds are charming. It was very hot for a few days and I enjoyed relaxing in the pool. The A/C also worked perfectly. We cooked most evenings and the kitchen had everything we needed. I used the BBQ one night and it worked perfectly.Our hosts, Carol and Greg were welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much. Everything was as presented, a lovely oasis in the Sonoran Dessert!

What a wonderful place to stay! The host worked with us when we had to reschedule because of an emergency. We finally got to take our short vacation. The property is just like it is portrayed - only better! We drove around a lot doing touristy things - what a delightful, restful place to return to. Magnificent views; a beautiful, restful desert-scape yard with an abundance of birds to watch (who doesn't love watching gambrel's quail run around, or see an owl land in the tree in the morning, or having a cardinal stare at you through the window). There is pretty little pool to cool off in and a nice rooftop deck to enjoy in the evenings and look at the stars. The casita is roomy and tastefully decorated with a nice size kitchen, big shower and comfortable bed. And the host was so accommodating and very easy to work with, just extremely nice and welcoming. With so many things to do in the area, this was an excellent choice for us.

The home is a gem—Carol and Gregory were awesome hosts, making me feel right at home right away. The grounds are wonderful —I enjoyed the hot tub, observation deck (the stars are amazing!), and nearby mountain bike and hiking trails. Can't wait to be back!

Carol was so welcoming and gave us a quick tour to show us where everything is. The property and casita are cute and very comfortable, lots of bird activity to watch! Great quiet place to stay and relax but also excellent proximity to Catalina State Park & surrounding areas. Would love to come back.

We were greeted by bunnies running across the yard. Carol is an excellent host and showed us around the casita and grounds. The very private Casita was beautifully appointed with a well-equipped kitchen, dining table for 4 and very comfortable couch with a large tv. The separate bedroom had a comfortable bed and couch. The decorations everywhere are so charming. Then there is the property, WOW! So many places to enjoy the views in quiet. From the stunning pool to the expansive views on the upper deck - watch a fabulous sunset. Highly recommend a stay at this unique, beautiful property!

Carol welcomed us upon our arrival and gave us a quick tour. She was an excellent host with great communication and immediate replies to any questions we had. The casita is clean and had everything we needed for our two week stay. Beds are comfortable and we slept well after spending our days hiking on the nearby trails. The neighborhood is quiet and only a short drive to grocery and restaurants. We highly recommend.

Beautiful getaway casita

We had such a lovely stay at Carol's Cloud 9 Casita while in town for a family wedding. Carol is such an amazing host who made sure we navigated to the gorgeous and remote property in the Catalina Foothills correctly. So peaceful and so worth it for the nature alone!!

Excellent host. Great communication. Nice personnal touches like a quick tour on arrival to get us settled and a welcome basket of wine and snacks. Casita is clean, well equipped and in good condition. The garden is a very quiet and relaxing spot to watch the wildlife. Neighborhood is off the beaten track, quiet and safe. Highly recommend.
