About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A very, very, very fine house!

The two cats in the yard might be bobcats strolling by! (It's a reference to the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song for those of you who are too young to know!)

This 900 SF casita was custom built in 2010 on a one-acre lot. The casita is attached to the main house by an open courtyard, a high tower foyer, and covered patio. Come enjoy this beautiful one bedroom guest home located in the scenic Northeast Tucson area. You will have your own direct access to the casita, private patio and your own heating and A/C controls.

The spacious living room/kitchen has exposed beams, granite counter tops, an upgraded 55” 4K television and SW design details evident in the numerous arches and fully tiled floors. A full dresser and closet complete the bedroom. Bathroom has custom tiled shower, and full-size washer and dryer. 9' ceilings, and mountain views throughout the property. The beautiful courtyard and your own covered patio with a Weber gas grill lie just off the living room door. Privacy walls surround our entire 1-acre lot. Five outside sitting areas allow you to fully enjoy the beautiful, sunny, Tucson weather, cozy up around the fire pit, or sit peacefully under the mesquite trees overlooking a meadow.

It's a short 1.3 mile walk or drive to parking for the Bear Canyon entrance to Sabino Park where you have access to iconic hikes such as Seven Falls, Blackett's Ridge, Phoneline trail and many others.

We are 4 miles from the base of Mt. Lemmon with stunning views (Windy Point), numerous hiking trails and restaurants.

You can bicycle right out the door or ride 4 miles to the Tucson bike loop path which offers 100+ miles of paved pathways.

The casita is in a quiet, peaceful setting and yet close to several great restaurants (Tucson is a foodie's delight), grocery stores, and 25 minutes from downtown.

Our casita is well-maintained (Dave is a retired contractor and keeps up with repairs), clean, freshly painted, with updated appliances, dinnerware, cookware and linens. We know what we would like when we stay at a vacation rental, so try to provide the best experience for our guests.

There is much to do and explore in Tucson and our casita will be a tranquil setting for your home base.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private furnished patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a hot tub or make use of other amenities including gas grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Growing up in Tucson, I return almost every year. This unique property was absolutely the best. The location was wonderful…away from the congestion of the city yet close to shopping. The property was adjacent to a rural area where horses grazed and a stream flowed. The house was more than just a “very fine house”. It was tastefully decorated, super clean and comfortable. The property was large and perfectly landscaped with a desert motif. There were several seating areas and a roof deck to enjoy the Mountain View and starry nights! The lap pool and spa were refreshing and sparking clean. Ro and Dave were super gracious hosts and have put their heart and soul into their oasis. I definitely recommend and plan to return!

Everything about the casita was perfect. In fact, we thought it was even better in person than in pictures. The casita has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. We loved being able to cook and relax in the evening. The bed was so comfortable. The back yard was lovely, and next time we’ll take advantage of the outdoor seating and hot tub. Every detail is thoughtful and beautifully made. I think we found our new go to “spot” in Tucson.

The host was welcoming and happy to share suggestions for regional activities. A comprehensive notebook of instructions for the immaculate Casita was prominently displayed along with lists for restaurant suggestions. Regional maps and brochures were provided. Guests have access to a well-designed desert garden on the property for relaxation amid dappled shade of native vegetation.The Casita is well located in a quiet residential community with views of near-by mountains and proximate to areas affording hiking and sightseeing opportunities. We enjoyed a drive up Mt. Lemmon to ponderosa pine forests as well as several visits to Saguaro National Park east section for desert walking and, especially, for spectacular sunsets. Not far away is Sabino Canyon, a popular local hiking destination.We would happily return again.

Did not use hot tub or pool... just didn't have time. Clean home, perfect size for one or 2 people. Location requires a bit of driving to and from to get to downtown Tucson but i knew that when i booked it, as I used to live in Tucson

Have stayed here many times and plan my visits to Tucson around their availability. Pleasantly furnished and decorated with marvelous, large yard with a variety of seating areas. I do not use the pool or hot tub, or the Weber grill. Info on desk and magazines in unit on surrounding area and Arizona as a whole.

My husband and I VERY MUCH enjoyed at our stay at this casita. It was just as advertised. The unit had everything we needed and more. The property was just what we were looking for; quiet, natural setting, wildlife and birds to enjoy! The location was well-suited to visiting Sabino canyon and Mt Lemmon. Great food close by as well. We will be back!!!
