Exquisite inside and out. Decorated Arizona style with tasteful artwork and accessories. Great pool with mountain view and flowering cacti. Back porch with well stocked birdfeeders, lots of birds, a resident lizard and visiting javelinas. Excellent location near national park and surprisingly close to downtown. I can't imagine that there's a nicer place to stay in all of Tucson.

Our stay was perfect. We love the high desert and the wildlife was fun. Lots of birds, rabbits, even deer, which was a surprise. Very nice hosts. And, most importantly, the guest house is beautiful with outstanding southwest decor.

We so enjoyed our stay at this guest house. The grounds were beautiful and great for birding. Close to Tuscon yet felt like we were in the middle of the beautiful desert. Nice porch and access to swimming pool. Home was very nice with all the amenities that we needed. The host was very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

This was a very well maintained and clean property. Carella takes pride in her home and wildlife. My family enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets on the patio. We even got a glimpse of some new desert wildlife we never saw before. The home was fully equipped with supplies making it easy to cook if desired. If you are looking for a place that makes you feel at home this is the one! We will definitely be making this a return spot when we come to Tucson again. Thank you so much for the hospitality and experience we will never forget!

We stayed for 3 nights with a family of 5 in this lovely guesthouse. The home feels spacious and comfortable, the beds are great, kitchen and laundry appliances worked very well. Carella is a wonderful and very responsive host. There are not enough words to describe the location - we were met on the first evening by resident hummingbirds, quail, finches, doves, and jackrabbits. Over our short stay we saw deer and had a javelina hang out for about an hour around the patio one evening. The kids loved the pool. It is a short drive from Tucson attractions. We were able to do Auto Museum, Museum of Miniatures, Titan Missile Museum, Sonora Arizona Desert Museum, and Kitt Peak Night Program. We highly recommend this place, especially if you want to experience desert nature.

This is a well taken care of property. It has decor to match the area. Everything we needed was there as well as a good guide book to where things are in the house and the area. The host was very prompt in replying to messages. It was a great place to end and relax for our last few days in Arizona! Absolutely loved watching the birds at the feeders in the morning and evening. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to relax and enjoy the scenery.

The home is beautiful and was a perfect fit for our family of 4. The kitchen is well stocked and made cooking easy. We loved the views of the mountains, cacti, birds and wildlife. While it is a bit of a drive from downtown Tucson, we liked being in a quiet neighborhood.

This property ticked all the boxes for us and we won’t hesitate to come back. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would expect to find in a home including blenders and a rice cooker. Lots of spices and oils, fridge stocked with condiments, even pantry goods. Bathrooms and bedrooms were very comfortable. Plenty of additional towels and bedding in the closets. A room stocked with books and games. The outdoor space was great for enjoying the afternoon/evening out of the direct sun and the birds always put on a great show. It was very quiet, yet only 5 minutes from the highway, shopping centers, and a large park. A quick 20 minutes gets you to UofA and surrounding area. The host was very responsive to our questions and needs.

The casita kitchen is well-equiped, as is the rest of the house (walking sticks, hats, information about the area, etc.) It seems that the hosts anticipated every possible need. For example, there is a library of books and dvds. The hosts, who are friendly but not intrusive, responded immediately to any of my concerns. It is very convenient having them on the property.They are also aware of the needs of the birds and animals that visit the property, keeping the feeders full and assuring that the water in the various containers is fresh. It was very relaxing to watch all the activity in the back yard
