The guesthouse was perfect for my stay. It is very nicely designed and comfortable. It was very clean and had everything I needed, even the kitchen. The patio was perfect for some relaxing outdoor time and it was great having stores within walking distance. The host made me feel very welcome.

We loved our guest house casita and stayed 4 nights. Private courtyard and backyard patio. Lovely little place with all comforts accounted for. Great location for biking the Loop, and hiking Sabino Canyon, Catalina SP, and Saguaro NP. Our hostesses were delightful and readily available to offer suggestions and answer questions. We would return at any opportunity.

After putting 2 kids through UA, I’ve stayed at a handful of Tucson rentals throughout the last 7 years. Ginger’s casita was my absolute favorite. From the ease of checking in, excellent communication and the beautiful neighborhood to the little touches that make it feel like home, I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. Thank you !!

Ginger and Candace are wonderful hosts. They made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed during our 2.5 week stay.We felt comfortable in the beautiful casita right away. It has everything one needs for an extended stay. The lovely outdoor spaces allow you to enjoy the hummingbirds and relax while still feeling private. We used the outdoor gas grill a lot!The neighborhood is quiet, with beautiful natural landscaping and the location great for accessing hiking trails.

This is the loveliest casita -- so welcoming, comfy, and quiet. We enjoyed our stay very much. Ginny is the ultimate host, bringing us homemade cookies and even some Airborne to help with my cold. We would love to stay here again sometime!

Great location, great accommodations with really nice and accommodating hosts!

The property is very nice. It is clean and well appointed. It is nice to be on your own, not a part of a large hotel. It is super nice to make your own meals.
