About this property

A very, very, very fine house!

The two cats in the yard might be bobcats strolling by! (It's a reference to the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song for those of you who are too young to know!)

This 900 SF casita was custom built in 2010 on a one-acre lot. The casita is attached to the main house by an open courtyard, a high tower foyer, and covered patio. Come enjoy this beautiful one bedroom guest home located in the scenic Northeast Tucson area. You will have your own direct access to the casita, private patio and your own heating and A/C controls.

The spacious living room/kitchen has exposed beams, granite counter tops, an upgraded 55” 4K television and SW design details evident in the numerous arches and fully tiled floors. A full dresser and closet complete the bedroom. Bathroom has custom tiled shower, and full-size washer and dryer. 9' ceilings, and mountain views throughout the property. The beautiful courtyard and your own covered patio with a Weber gas grill lie just off the living room door. Privacy walls surround our entire 1-acre lot. Five outside sitting areas allow you to fully enjoy the beautiful, sunny, Tucson weather, cozy up around the fire pit, or sit peacefully under the mesquite trees overlooking a meadow.

It's a short 1.3 mile walk or drive to parking for the Bear Canyon entrance to Sabino Park where you have access to iconic hikes such as Seven Falls, Blackett's Ridge, Phoneline trail and many others.

We are 4 miles from the base of Mt. Lemmon with stunning views (Windy Point), numerous hiking trails and restaurants.

You can bicycle right out the door or ride 4 miles to the Tucson bike loop path which offers 100+ miles of paved pathways.

The casita is in a quiet, peaceful setting and yet close to several great restaurants (Tucson is a foodie's delight), grocery stores, and 25 minutes from downtown.

Our casita is well-maintained (Dave is a retired contractor and keeps up with repairs), clean, freshly painted, with updated appliances, dinnerware, cookware and linens. We know what we would like when we stay at a vacation rental, so try to provide the best experience for our guests.

There is much to do and explore in Tucson and our casita will be a tranquil setting for your home base.

Best VRBO yet

This was our favorite place to stay. It was super clean and spacious. We felt very “at home” in the space and slept well. We will make this our “go to” when in Tucson.

A very very very fine house indeed

Such a comfortable, clean and well- equipped casita! Loved the hot tub, reading in the zero G chairs and swings. Lots of nature to enjoy and beautiful grounds to relax among. We will be back. David and Ro are great hosts, friendly, accommodating and gave us our space to just be.

A fine house indeed

My husband and I VERY MUCH enjoyed at our stay at this casita. It was just as advertised. The unit had everything we needed and more. The property was just what we were looking for; quiet, natural setting, wildlife and birds to enjoy! The location was well-suited to visiting Sabino canyon and Mt Lemmon. Great food close by as well. We will be back!!!

Beautiful place to stay in Tucson

A beautiful place inside and out. The furniture was very nice and comfortable, the bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils and cooking items. The yard was beautifully decorated with 3 different sitting areas. When not hiking, we spent much of our time at the house sitting outside. Located in a quiet neighborhood on the edge of Tucson the casita was convenient to Sabino Canyon, the eastern section of Saguaro National Park and Mount Lemmon.

Just lovely

The casita was one of the best VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in. The furnishings are nice, tasteful and comfortable. Everything was provided we could wish for - paper towels, shampoo, coffee filters to name a few items that are often bring-your-own. The owners are next door but we literally only saw them once as he refilled the bird feeders out back. We didn’t use the pool or hot tub but they looked nice. Location is convenient to shopping and restaurants.

Revisiting Tuscan

We loved our stay as the accommodations were perfect for us as a couple. The sitting area tree under the mesquite trees, the firepit, hottub, birds, and sounds of nature along Sabino Creek watershed. Cool to hear coyotes yip!

Lovely place in a desert setting but easy to get to shopping & hiking. Garden is just right, so many places to sit and a different outlook from all angles. Would stay here everytime we go to Tucson. Please do not change anything it is perfect.

Tucson vacation

This beautiful house and it's location exceeded our expectations! It is well stocked, has a comfortable bed, and has lovely outdoor living space. It is close to lots of restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and anything else you might want, and yet, you feel "out back" with quietness and privacy. It's also close to Mount Lemmon, Saguaro NP East, and other tourist attractions.

About the host

Hosted by David or RoseMarie Gramling

Host profile image
My wife and I retired here from upstate New York. I was a residential re-modeler and new home builder for 30 years. My wife was a teacher. We love Tucson so much, we retired here.

Why they chose this property

Have you ever rented a place that looked great on the web site only to find it lacking in person? The non-stick cookware is shot, or the shower drains so slowly you stand in dirty water, or there is a bucket in the living room catching a 'small' leak from the unit above? Well, as a traveler all three of these things have happened to me. I can assure you that this will never happen to you at our Casita. We live right next door. The premises are thoroughly inspected between each stay. Any issue that pops up while you are here can be taken care of immediately, or held off until you leave, if that's what you prefer. When you arrive, the home will be ready for you to enjoy every minute of your vacation.

What makes this property unique

As a builder, I am proud of this home. From its unique architectural lines to its elegant southwestern decor, I believe the home is truly a special place. But the truth is, I could build this home anywhere. What really makes this home a complete joy to live in is the location. The home sits on one acre in a quiet, residential neighborhood. There is a solid 6' high privacy wall enclosing the entire backyard. This is about 1/2 acre. While it is very peaceful sitting in the home, the backyard offers a large covered patio with a gas grill, a water fountain with a bench, plus two other sitting areas with a mesquite tree canopy. To top it all off, the 'Tucson Table' area is tranquility at it's finest. Sit back, or lie back on the zero gravity chairs, and listen to the wind tickle the mesquite trees, hummingbirds proclaiming their territory, and the coyotes announcing the sunset - or sunrise - if you are up that early. We have spent many an evening watching the sunset across the majestic Catalina Mountains. With all the nooks and crannies, it never grows old.
