The Casita was nicely furnished and in a good location for getting around Tucson. Nice walled in courtyard for the dog. Host was professional and refunded dog deposit promptly.

The Casita was spotless!! We enjoyed the colorful decor. The bed was very comfortable. And it was quiet!!
Quiet, comfortable, good location, good host. Would definitely stay there again. The cottages are all on a single compound, so it would be fun to go back with a group of friends or family and rent multiple cottages. A central pool and grill makes this ideal.

Thank you, Amy! We are so happy to know you like our casita and we happily invite you back. Thanks for taking good care of the place. We appreciate you!
The host was great. We did not realize we booked this during the Tucson Gem Show - which was a pleasant surprise. The unit provided all of the amenities we expected. The only glitch was internet access during peak times. It was slow and would restart often to reconnect.
This is the second time staying here and I have already booked again. I like the layout and gated parking and enjoy the ability to bring my small dog with me. We spent time in the well maintained pool and the outside area is very well kept.
I renewed my rental here another few weeks it has been an oasis for me and my pup as I settle in to a new job at the University and looking for my home here in Tucson - highly recommend!!

Thank you, Lynda! We appreciate you and are happy to know you like our place.
Very clean. Great location. Great for pets. Suggestions:- recommend not using scented laundry detergent for bedding- both bedrooms smelled of smoke, we are non-smokers. - Living room sofa and chairs were exceptionally soft. One member of our group has mobility issues and could not use living room furniture.

We clean the casitas and did not notice smoke, but will put the ozone machine in each bedroom to remove any lingering odors that we did not notice. Our laundry detergent is not scented. The furniture in this casita is new, I find the furniture in this casita to be comfortable and easy to get out of.....I did it without using my hands to lift off. The elderly are hard to please some times.
Had everything we needed and then some! Like a home away from home. Right across from grocery, comfortable with huge beds. I love being by the pool, especially in a small community!

Property was clean and exactly as listed. Great location to reach anything you want to see in Tucson. It was very quiet, but the people we did encounter were always friendly. Gated entry to parking lot felt very secure. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
