La Casita

We are happy to have found La Casita. The location was quiet with a peaceful morning view of the Rincon mountains along with a variety of birds feeding nearby. The house was generous and very comfortable. Safeway was nearby. Our hosts Marilyn and Wayne were most kind and eager to provide anything we needed. We would not hesitate to return.

Dessert in the Desert

The Casita is everything and more than what is stated in the description. We used to live about 3 miles from this location. It was exactly what we needed - the beautiful sunrises, evening stars, sunsets - close to family, relaxing, quiet - and - I cannot think of anything we needed that wasn't provided. We 'might' be back for a wedding in February of 204

Peace & Quiet

My wife and I were visiting our daughter at University of Arizona. We decided to go early so we booked this place for a little over a week. We were very happy with the location, the accommodations and its relative closeness to U of A. The Casita is situated on the hill and has good views of the mountains to the east. I brought my mountain bike and was able to ride right from the Casita up to and around Mount Lemmon. Wayne and Marilyn are very good hosts and this will be a regular stop on our journey to Tucson.

A wonderful place to stay!!!

From the beginning communication with the owners' was easy. Questions answered promptly and payment was easy. They greeted us with wonderful treats and keys to the casita. The casita was very clean and neat. Ample towels available with some toiletries and it was roomy for 3 adults. The shaded patio was perfect for hanging out with family, watching clouds build and rain fall. The casita was close to grocery shopping, restaurants, hiking, biking, a dog park, Saguaro National Park and Mt. Lemmon. The owners were close by and checked in now and then to see if we needed anything. We highly recommend staying here because we had a very comfortable and positive experience!

Wonderful Tucson Oasis

We could not be happier with the Casita and the welcome from Marilyn and Wayne. We used the full kitchen and the back TV "bonus room" every day. The outdoor patio has a beautiful view of the mountains and an entertaining view of the birds, rabbits and chipmunks enjoying the bird feeder. Morning coffees on the patio are relaxing and fun! This location is perfect for visiting Mount Lemmon and Catalina State Park. Both locations allow dogs on the trails. Also very close to Saguaro National Park, Bear Canyon and Sabino Canyon. Can't say enough about this casita that was perfect for our stay. Paul and Michelle S.

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.

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.

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.
