Perfect location

We had a great time using this property as our base location. We enjoyed having our dinner on the patio one night so we could watch the sunset. The surrounding scenery was stupendous. The house was perfect for the two of us, and the hospitality was top notch!

perfect location for a stay from home

Karen and Dave were wonderful, friendly hosts. We felt home away from home. The guesthouse is a dream, clean and so well equipped, nothing missing. We also enjoyed the garden, the pool and the grill for our BBQ. We had a great time here in Oro Valley and we are going to miss you and the dogs.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Friel

Host profile image
Been in Tucson most of my life. Can say I'm a native because I moved out here when I was two. Father built the house and guesthouse while working a full time job, raising 6 kids. I am a Life Enrichment Director and work with seniors. I love working with seniors. I love entertaining, hiking, biking, pickleball, working out, water sports, swimming, and country music. I love to cook and always trying new recipes.

Why they chose this property

This property is special because my father built it and yet it is old but has a lot of memories and charisma. Lots of family and friend events have been here on the property. I got married in the back yard and have hosted a few weddings, many birthdays, bridal and wedding showers.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful sunsets. Spectacular Mountain View. And if you’re into Pickleball, have a beautiful Pickleball court in the backyard.
