This was an adorable, spotless and comfortable guesthouse in a great location/beautiful neighborhood. It was perfect for a week stay for myself, my husband and our two small pups. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing easy meals and the beds were very comfortable.

Well-stocked and comfortable casita with a super comfortable king bed, roomy kitchen, and fenced yard for the dogs. Located in a quiet and walkable neighborhood, it’s close to grocery stores and at the foot of the mountains. It made for a perfect Thanksgiving getaway.

Good to hear you found the casita comfortable. The location is one of the things we love about this neighborhood. The feel of being far away yet within a mile of most anything you need.

Wonderful casita.

Wonderful place to stay. Everything was just perfect and I absolutely loved and appreciated the labeling of everything and all the instructions, it took the guessing out of the picture. I’ve been to many places where I tried to figure things out and it was complicated, this place was a breeze.

Such a nice home back in a quiet neighborhood. It has nice space outside to relax and listen to the many birds hanging out. Kitchen is well equipped and we fixed our breakfast each morning. There are so many wonderful places to eat really close too.

Cozy Casita

Loved our stay in this cozy casita. It was a great home base for a variety of activities including biking, hiking, running, and swimming at Oro Valley aquatic center. The space was perfect for a month long visit for two adults. Kitchen was well equipped and beds were very comfortable. Everything was very clean upon our arrival and checking in was easy. We hope to rent it again on a future trip to Tucson.

Comfortable and Relaxing

My husband and I (and our 2 small dogs) stayed here for one week. The house is on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood. It is well stocked with everything you need, and the beds are super-comfortable. The fenced yard is nice if you want to soak up some sun. The rental transaction was easy and we would stay again and also recommend to friends.
