Peaceful Getaway

We found this place perfect for some rest and relaxation. Very quiet and away from the noise and bustle of the city. Great views of the valley and the sunrise over the Rincon Mountains was a great way to start the day. Wayne and Marilyn were very gracious hosts. Would return in a second.

Terrific location. Great hosts. I’ve been renting places different times of the year in several different countries. I’ve never stayed in any place that had more amenities than Casita Naranja. Wonderful stay.

Nature preserve on the NE edge of town

Gorgeous, well equipped, private casita with spacious shaded patio overlooking the Rincon Mountains. Serenaded in the evening by resident Great Horned Owls, and gently awakened by quail, and doves. Hosts live on site and were generous and attentive to our needs. Would return again and again.

Wonderful Stay

This stay was just what we were looking for in a quiet, peaceful casita. The views were amazing morning, afternoon, evening and nights. We were there during a monsoon and it was so gorgeous the lightening. There's such a natural setting around the home. It's quiet, comfortable and the owners very friendly. We recommend the home and would stay again.

Another great stay at the Casita

This is our second stay at the Casita and it was as enjoyable as the first. I like to bike and it is close to mt bike trails and safe road rides around Mt Lemon and Saguaro National Park. The hosts are great. Our favorite part of the property is the outside patio where we can grill and enjoy an adult beverage.

Fantastic location for Mt. Lemmon activities

I picked Casita Naranja for my week-long climbing trip because of its location to the Catalina Highway and Mt Lemmon, and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Close enough to Mt Lemmon to get quickly to the areas at which I wanted to climb but near enough to shopping and dining for great convenience. Very quiet and the hosts were fantastic. I’ll stay again without any hesitation.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely Casita.

The Casita is exactly as shown in the pictures. Previously reviews complemented our host and we agree completely. We were welcomed warmly upon arrival and also had privacy as we relaxed on the covered outdoor seating area. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Casita! Patty and Mike

A perfect spot in suburban Tucson

The casita is exactly as shown in the pictures. We really liked the covered patio, great view and watching the birds and quail. The owners are close by but unobtrusive yet very helpful with information about the area. We hiked in both Saguaro east and west, and Sabino Canyon. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is also great. We would rent here again.

Great property- peaceful among nature

The casita met all our needs and more. It was spacious, had a great view of the mountains and nature was right outside your door. We enjoyed the watching the numerous birds including a beautiful red cardinal each morning. Hosts Wayne and Marilyn are available should any issues arise and were helpful in suggesting places to visit during our three week stay. We would highly recommend this property.

Lovely, comfortable casita.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Casita Naranja early January. We arrived late afternoon to gorgeous mountain views. The casita had everything for our "home away from home" vacation. Very spacious, well appointed, and comfortable. Marilyn and Wayne were lovely hosts and offered helpful suggestions on places to hike and restaurants. We would highly recommend Casita Naranja as it is far enough away from traffic to enjoy the solitude while being close enough to shopping and outdoor activities.
