About this property

Custom 2 Bedroom Casita On a Ridge

Lovely, private guest house with stunning views of two converging mountain ranges (the Catalinas and Rincons). Located very close to Sabino Canyon and the Canyon Ranch. This private 4-room house is custom, on 2 levels and comfortably furnished. It has high ceilings and big rooms. There is a full-sized eat-in kitchen with regular-sized appliances. The living room has great views and comfy seating for 4. A fully stocked library, a smart TV, videos and Includes Wifi. The bathroom including the shower is all done in natural slate (definitely is on the small side). The two bedrooms are very comfortable and have some of the most exceptional views in Arizona.

It is a great location for someone who wants to experience the best of the Tucson's nature and not be far from great activities and restaurants. Access the Canyon Ranch trail to the Sabino creek for an easy hike. Don't be surprised if you see some wildlife prancing by your window as well.

When it is hot out go for a morning swim - the use of the pool is at your disposal and right out your side door (in season - sorry not heated). (Please note: Although you can use the jetted spa it too comes unheated. The option of making it a hot tub is available at my cost of $25 per 4 hour session).The pool is shared with the main house but there usually is limited overlap. Easy parking right out the front door. Generously-sized kitchen with full-sized oven and side by side refrigerator. Right out on the kitchen patio is a gas barbeque so you can grill to your heart's content.

I respectfully decline all requests to use the house/pool for parties, weddings, family reunions etc. It is not suited for special events. Please be forthcoming about number guests and their ages. Because of the pool no one under 5 years old is allowed. Due to wear and tear on the house I hold to the maximum capacity numbers.

Minimal activity in the main house - across the yard - allows you to do your own thing in peace. In a gated community with spacious properties. Lots of serenity and privacy.

Athena’s home is truly a hidden gem! My best friend and I wanted a peaceful place to relax between wedding events in town and this home exceeded our expectations. Every detail of the home felt curated. The home brought us peace as we enjoyed watching the sunrise/sunset as well as the wildlife go by (coyote, road runner, tortoise, and birds) while we sipped on coffee or wine. The pool was amazing with the perfect view of the canyon. I can’t recommend this place enough and would love to come back again someday!

Athena is an amazingly welcoming host who also protects her guests’ privacy. The casita is more spacious than it first appears, and is clean, lovely and well-stocked. Last but not least, the view and the pool make this little getaway the complete package! Would recommend to anyone.

Spacious Retreat

Easily accessible and spacious fully appointed home on the ridge. The large kitchen was perfect for food preparation and visiting. We had a great time viewing the wildlife. We saw deer, coyotes and javelina. The walking trail just steps outside the door was a great opportunity to enjoy the amazing winter weather. Athena was very helpful and a gracious host! Highly recommend this home.

The views from this casita cannot be beat. The property has lovely outdoor spaces that are private from the main house. The owner is always available but not intrusive. It is fully stocked with ample dishes, silverware and even a rice cooker. The beds are comfortable. We loved the whole month.

good location but old.old, old

Athena was quick to respond. Unfortunately the good location of this guest house, nice small pool and patio with views didn't make up for the tiny bathroom, hard concrete, dirty looking floors, sagging living room furniture (the TV was fine) and the laundry across the driveway in a garage. The bed was fine. We were happy to leave.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Mar 2025
Sorry you were uncomfortable with polished concrete floors but it is unfair to call them dirty looking as they are clean and well maintained The garage laundry right out the front door is usually deemed a free perk by most visitors A 17000 gallon pool is not considered small in any way. You were technology-inept malcontents and unnecessarily derided the listing that usually has glowing reviews Needless to say it was a mutual feeling of relief when your negative energy was gone and made way for happier repeat guests
