About this property

Bright, stylish, quiet casita in Tucson's finest foothills location.

Enjoy this peaceful, spacious, bright guest quarters situated on a one-acre property adjoined as an in-law unit to a main house with a separate entrance. Guests can enjoy their mornings on the private patio, surrounded by the sweet smell of jasmine when in bloom and the chirping of birds and scurrying of lizards on this well-maintained property. You will feel like you are truly in the desert. This property is stylish, clean and quiet. No stairs or elevators. Walk through the courtyard to your private in law unit. To stay connected, there is WIFI with streaming TV, sling and Netflix subscriptions. I do not have premium sports channel subscriptions, so please plan accordingly if you want to watch special sporting events. High-end Saatva queen size mattress and pillows, with protective covers. Drift off to sleep from the peace and quiet of the neighborhood and blackout blinds. Parking is right next to the unit for convenience. At dusk the courtyard is lighted and welcoming. While some of my guests come for a week, many enjoy a month-long visit or longer to escape the cold winters or during relocation to Tucson. The location couldn't be more convenient and perfect as a home base as it's central to everything and just 12 minutes up the road from Banner Medical Center and 15 mins to UofA. While feeling secluded, you're minutes from La Encantada Shopping Center, excellent restaurants. Great walking neighborhood with hikes just minutes away, farmer's market on Sundays followed by Mimosas at St. Phillips Plaza or an early morning hike from the nearby Pima Trailhead.

Please note that you may see the smiling faces of myself and my dogs occasionally as we pass through the courtyard. We'll say hello and also respect your privacy if you prefer low contact. For longer term stays of a month or longer, you will be given a key for access to the laundry room off the courtyard.

Lush Desert Getaway
The property was as expected and more. Very spacious and decorated nicely. In a great neighborhood, with lots of desert plants and landscaping, and with fantastic views of the mountains. Loved the huge window in front to view the lush desert plants and Saguaro Cactus. Even had the resident bobcat pop by, but didn't stay long. I would definitely recommend this property. The host was out of town but was very conscientious about contacting her for any needs. This wasn't necessary, as everything went just fine. Had a very nice stay.

Great house in the foothills
The property was great for us and our dog, it was very clean and bigger than we thought it would be. Lots of little extra touches that were nice and the kitchen was quite well equipped. Location was fantastic, easy to get to everything and a great area for walking the dog. Laura was a great host, very helpful and even let our dog swim in her pool, which completely made his trip! We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Gargano

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Laura and my dogs are Anika and Toby. Welcome to my special desert property! Originally from Chicago, IL, I've been in Tucson for nine years after living in the San Francisco Bay area for decades. I enjoy being a host, meeting new people. I've been traveling myself internationally since I studied in southern France in college and appreciate the connections made. I invite you to experience a different type of desert living and I hope to help make your visit to Tucson as comfortable as possible.

Why they chose this property

This property is close enough to in downtown activities while feeling like it's a desert haven, while being in one of the best neighborhoods in Tucson. It's close to hiking trails, excellent restaurants, watering holes, shopping and within minutes to the top spas in Tucson. It's also 15 minutes straight down the hill to U of A .Some people visit for a week while visiting family, while others may stay for a month to escape the cold Midwest winter, while others have stayed for 1-2+ months during relocation to Tucson or during home renovations.

What makes this property unique

There are two outdoor areas to enjoy - the trellised courtyard and small walled patio with cactus garden, market umbrella. Note the patio is on the north side of the property that receives sun during spring/summer months but not winter though the covered courtyard does receive sun during the winter.

You will be given a key to the laundry room for stays longer than a week. If you need to do a load or two on a shorter stay, please let me know.

Please note that I also live part-time on this property in the adjoining house. This property is very well maintained. In order to do this, you will see and hear service people from time to time.
