Not our typical choice for a Vrbo but it went well. It was an older, suburbs stay. Clean and neat. Host was excellent and responsive. Smaller kitchen. Quiet and safe.
Our host was excellent in communication. The property was in great condition and very comfortable. If your traveling from outside of the Southwest area, you will love the ambience of the property. ( We live down the street and loved it!)
This was the best VRBO my wife and I have ever rented. Patti and Larry were fantastic hosts. The casita was very clean and had all the amenities one could ask for. Pool was AMAZING! Sitting out in the patio in the morning and evening was delightful. I will HIGHLY recommend this casita to all my friends and family. Thank you Patti and Larry for all of your hospitality.
This house is in a great location and had everything we needed. It was also just so comfy and cozy, we did not want to leave. The pool and hosts were so great!!!
Loved our stay and Patti was amazing … loved the cozy home very private and loved being around nature and listening to all the birds and hearing the coyotes at night!
Everything was exactly as described. Lovely casita with all amenities, and a desert backyard with a nice deep pool to stay cool in the summerheat. Surrounding was stunning, has never taken so many pictures in one place :-)Patti & Larry was the best hosts ever.

We are glad you enjoyed yourselves and the guest house! We welcome you back in the future.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this comfortable casita. We especially enjoyed watching the birds from the back porch, and look forward to returning when the weather is a bit warmer and we can spend more time outside. The host was very responsive without being intrusive; will definitely try to stay here the next time I'm visiting Tucson.
We enjoyed our two months in this quiet peaceful place. We especially enjoyed sitting on the cool, shaded patio and watching the birds, including doves and we felt so welcome! The casita is quite compact but has everthing you need. We made use of the outdoor grill quite a bit.
We certainly agree with most of the other 5-star reviews. Perhaps the most sincerest positive review is that we would certainly book this casita again, for a longer stay.
My adult grandchildren and their significant others spent 5 days at this Casita on 4 1/2 acres. They enjoyed it and came away from Tucson saying the desert is beautiful. That's what I wanted them to learn. This VRBO and the wonderful owner made it possible for my grandchildren to learn what it's like to be in the old Pueblo for just a few precious days.
We loved our stay. We enjoyed biking in the morning and then relaxing at the pool. We used the back porch and grill for dinner most nights. It was so nice to sit outside under the covered porch and watch the birds. We were able to relax and enjoy our time spent at this cozy desert getaway. Patti was very nice and accommodating but gave us our privacy. This place is a must stay!!!!
We enjoyed our stay with Patti and Larry for 3 months. They were kind, helpful and hospitable. The guest house is very comfortable. The wildlife add an extra dimension to your stay with many birds and the occasional bob cat strolling by!
This casita fit us perfectly with two large bedrooms, kitchen, spacious living room, and beautiful back patio. Nearby are all the amenities you need; grocery and restaurants, shopping, as well as, hiking and biking. Hosts are wonderful, and they have everything provided that you need in a home away from home. Very comfortable stay and highly recommend; we will certainly return. Thank you very much for sharing with us!
Patti’s place is cozy and quiet but has all the amenities of home. It’s far enough out to unplug but close enough to all the attractions of Tucson. We hiked, toured and visited all we wanted in the day then relaxed on the covered back porch in the evenings. Many birds in the area and the view in the back is beautiful. Highly recommend
We did not cook much but well stocked. (Bring your own decaf k cups and tea if you're not a caffeinated coffee drinker.) The dirt road was a challenge to find in the dark but very peaceful once we arrived. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed our stay.
Loved the backyard desert garden and the location in uncongested area made for a great way (could hear coyotes some nights!) to experience the desert. Patti was awesome and very accommodating by lending us some tools. Highly recommend.
The Casita checks all of my boxes. Plenty of room, clean, and an awesome backyard. Sipping tea on the swing in the morning and watching the birds could last for hours. Take one of the bikes to one of the many user friendly trails. The kitchen is well equipped. The beds are super comfortable.The perfect nexus of rural privacy and full access to amenities in Oro valley. We will be back!
We loved the Casita, and the yard was just beautiful with lots of birds to watch. We loved that they had a nice crock pot, so easy to have dinner ready when we returned from walks or golf. We walked on a dirt path by street that goes by Hosts driveway, and it was in from the main street, so very much fun to walk and didn't have to watch for cars. A lot of other paths in area also that we enjoyed. Played golf and Crooked Tree became our favorite.
Came home to visit from Canada and had my sister and friends stay with me. The pool is lovely and the cactus garden is beautiful. The house was honey and very comfortable. The beds were lovely with the big plush pillows. Both Patti and Larry are wonderful hosts. Thank you so much again. Ten stars!!
I wanted a place outside of town where I could easily walk in the desert in the morning, and this was by far the best place. The home was clean and comfortable with large comfortable beds, a large living area with comfy sofa, and the best views. I sat on the back porch working on my laptop just watching the birds and enjoy the all the desert life around me. Patti is very friendly and has put together a wonderful welcome packet showing everything around to see, do, and places to enjoy a bite to eat. When I return to Tucson, this is where I want to stay again! - Amazing

Thank you , Adam, it was a pleasure hosting you! Glad you enjoyed yourself, we hope you visit us again!.
So quiet and comfortable. Loved waking up to the light from the skylight in the bathroom. The back yard garden is such a treat to sit and have coffee in the morning and watch the birds and desert wild life. Inside the cottage was so comfortable and cozy. Enough room for us. Kitchen well stocked with all the things you'll need for cooking. Bathroom linens and bed linens in abundance. Patti, our host was so nice and there for us if we needed anything. Pool was nice, didn't get a chance to get in it. Had too much going on. It was a great retreat. Will love to book and stay again.
Good value and location - Many plusses - Needs a deep clean
Our host was nice, the location for us was great. Having space to move around was a plus. Beds were memory foam and were comfortable. I have no doubt the unit is cleaned between guests, but a deep clean is suggested soon. Carpets need one and a peek behind any furniture revealed more need. That said, I do recommend this property and would stay here again. P.S. - We left for home earlier than expected due to weather and the host, unsolicited & graciously offered a full day credit towards our next stay.
