Amy, we’re so happy that you enjoyed our casita and the views! Thank you for taking such great care of our home. Looking forward to hosting you again! Thelma
View was lovely, place was very comfortably appointed. We really enjoyed our stay, but we’re disappointed to find on arrival that the hot tub in the advertisement was an additional 50 a day per person. We felt this misrepresented the listing.

We’re so happy you enjoyed our home Linda. We go to great lengths to make sure our guests have a great stay!
I understand your disappointment with the pool access, we too feel the same but the private facilities near the casita are only available to Troon Club members. The pool access is via the JW Marriott Resort which does charge a fee, as we point out on the listing.
The location and accommodations were perfect for our family weekend in Tucson. We had a small snafu with check-in due to the actions of a previous guest and Thelma was very accommodating and remedied the situation to our liking. She is a wonderful and thoughtful host. We would definitely stay there again if in the area.
Our family of four had a wonderful stay here. The hiking trails right outside the door wee beautiful and the pool & facility access at the JW was such a nice feature. Great location.
Perfect place to explore Tucson from. Lovely and comfortable accommodations! We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend booking here.

About the host
Hosted by Thelma Gutierrez
Welcome to Casa de Sueños which translates into House of Dreams. If you sit on the patio at sunrise or sunset, you'll know why we chose the name. The desert landscape and horizon changes colors before your eyes. It comes alive in shades of green, blue, pink, purple and red. It is a wonderful spot to find inspiration and peace, or to simply relax... Of all the places I have traveled to, the Sonoran Desert has my heart. I was born in Tucson and raised near Starr Pass. I am a proud Wildcat, a U of A graduate who now resides in California. It was always my dream to return to Tucson, but until we do, we wanted to have a small piece of the desert to go home to... a cozy Casita we'd like to share with you.
Why they chose this property
This property is special because it is located in the area where I grew up, most of my family lives with a mile or so of Starr Pass. The area is absolutely the best because it is tucked away in the foot hills of the Tucson Mountains, yet it's a quick 10 minute drive to the center of town. It's also quiet and a perfect place for star gazing because of a low light ordinance. Perhaps one of the main reasons for choosing this location, is because it is near to an incredible desert trail named after my cousin and mentor, Lorraine Lee, a tireless civic leader in the community. If you visit Starr Pass you'll know "why this property."
What makes this property unique
We loved the layout - the fact that it's on the end, high on a hill, has exposed beams, rustic doors and saltillo tile. It reminded me of my travels through Mexico, complete with the two-toned painted stucco on the exterior! Mainly, I love the location. All it took was walking out to the patio and immediately, I fell in love with the views. On top of that, we're close to the pool, restaurant, gym and tennis courts. I couldn't imagine a better pace to be!
