About this property

Bright, stylish, quiet casita in Tucson's finest foothills location.

Enjoy this peaceful, spacious, bright guest quarters situated on a one-acre property adjoined as an in-law unit to a main house with a separate entrance. Guests can enjoy their mornings on the private patio, surrounded by the sweet smell of jasmine when in bloom, the chirping of birds and scurrying of lizards on this well-maintained property. Antrue foothills experience. No stairs or elevators. Walk through the courtyard to your private in law unit. To stay connected, there is WIFI with streaming TV, sling and Netflix subscriptions. I do not have premium sports channel subscriptions, so please bring your own streaming device if you want to watch special sporting events. Queen size bed with quality linens and pillows, with protective covers. Drift off to sleep from the peace and quiet of the neighborhood and blackout shades. At dusk the courtyard is lighted and welcoming. While some of my guests come for a week, many enjoy a month-long visit or longer to escape the cold winters or during relocation to Tucson. The location is convenient as a home base as it's central to michnof Tucson and just 12 minutes up the road from Banner University Medical Center and 15 mins to UofA. While feeling secluded, you're minutes from La Encantada Shopping Center, excellent restaurants. Great walking neighborhood with hikes just minutes away, farmer's market on Sundays followed by Mimosas at St. Phillips Plaza or an early morning hike from the nearby Pima Trailhead.

Please note that you may see the smiling faces of myself and my dogs occasionally as we pass through the courtyard. We'll say hello and also respect your privacy if you prefer low contact. For longer term stays of a month or longer, you will be given a key for access to the laundry room off the courtyard.

Beautiful location with a lovely large window to watch moon rise and sunrise. The view of the Catalina Mountains is spectacular. Clearly off the beaten path but not too far from great restaurants, shopping, hiking and just relaxing.

Lovely desert hideaway

The host gave us excellent directions to her beautiful home with its attached casita. The space was cool and lovely with great views of the Catalinas. It had a functional kitchen and a couple of outdoor seating areas to enjoy the cool morning and evening. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend!

Great week in Catalina Foothills!

My husband and I plus our two Jack Russell's had a perfect week in the Guest Quarters. Laura was very pleasant to deal with and the lodging was squeaky clean and just as advertised. We especially enjoyed the quiet desert location! We hope to return soon.

Great house in the foothills

The property was great for us and our dog, it was very clean and bigger than we thought it would be. Lots of little extra touches that were nice and the kitchen was quite well equipped. Location was fantastic, easy to get to everything and a great area for walking the dog. Laura was a great host, very helpful and even let our dog swim in her pool, which completely made his trip! We would definitely stay here again.

Cute Get Away

We stayed at the apartment for a couple of weeks and had a great vacation. Laura has done a nice job decorating the place and the location is perfect. She made us feel very welcome. We loved the view from the livingroom and spent hours reading in the big, comfy leather chairs. We enjoyed the proximity to the best shopping and restaurants. Already looking forward to our next visit.

The rental offered everything we were hoping for! Although it was close to all of the city amenities, it was remote, quiet, and surrounded by natural beauty! We had all of the comforts of home, with extra-special touches by the owner, and we had total privacy. We highly recommend this rental. Thanks again to the owner and to VRBO/Home-Away.

Great place to stay

We enjoyed our stay at Laura's guest quarters. The location is convenient and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. Apartment is clean and had everything we needed. Layout is spacious for a one bedroom, with a nice patio area. Laura is great to work with. I mentioned that we were going to barbecue one night and she went out of her way to get us a backup tank of propane, just incase. I would definietly stay here again.

On vacation yet felt like home

We enjoyed our visit to Tucson and were so glad we rented this wonderful Catalina Foothills casita. The area is beautiful, with natural desert landscape surrounding the home making for a very private environment. The 10 minute drive to the city with all the great ethnic restaurants and wonderful night life makes this casita a convenient place to stay while visiting Tucson. A great bonus for us was the fact the our dog was welcomed to stay with us. Laura has created a wonderful place for visitors to relax and enjoy the desert and the city.

Lovely, lovely, lovely!

We certainly enjoyed our stay at Laura's Guest Quarters. It is a beautiful property. The guest quarters are roomy and well appointed. There was not a single item you could want for, it is so well equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the sunshine, watching and listening to all the birds. The "Old Foothills" are charming and still close to great restaurants and shopping. Laura is a wonderful host and a charmer herself. We plan to return in May!

Great location, wonderful stay and pet friendly.

We stayed here while preparing to close on a home purchase nearby. Laura was a gracious host and allowed us to bring our two dogs. The living quarters were spacious and clean and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The quarters are located at one end of the house offering privacy and a separate entrance. Laura even shared contact information for local contractors to help get us started and settled. Thanks for a great welcome to Tucson, Laura. Overall a wonderful stay and great value!

Lush Desert Getaway

The property was as expected and more. Very spacious and decorated nicely. In a great neighborhood, with lots of desert plants and landscaping, and with fantastic views of the mountains. Loved the huge window in front to view the lush desert plants and Saguaro Cactus. Even had the resident bobcat pop by, but didn't stay long. I would definitely recommend this property. The host was out of town but was very conscientious about contacting her for any needs. This wasn't necessary, as everything went just fine. Had a very nice stay.

A Good Find

My husband and I enjoyed our 11-night stay here. The guest quarters are located in an upscale, quiet enclave. We sat for hours in the courtyard listening to and watching the birds and marveling at the light changing on the mountains. Plus, we had easy access to many sites around town. It's no surprise that we already booked for next year. The furniture and bed were comfortable. The owner is friendly and thoughtful and takes prides in the property, as she should. Many touches and amenities here that made the rental experience a positive, memorable one. The kitchen is small, but adequately stocked to have enabled us to cook most of our meals. (I did miss my dishwasher, though.) Lots of light here to make the guest quarters a welcoming, home-like place. Don't hesitate to book.

Relaxing retreat in the foothills

We truly enjoyed our 4-night stay. There was plenty of space for us, both inside and out, and the unit was tastefully appointed. Both arrival and departure was a breeze, and we enjoyed visiting with Laura and the pups! Not being very familiar with Tucson, we weren't sure if we picked the right location. After spending four full days exploring many different neighborhoods within Tucson, we realize that we chose the best spot! It's smack-dab in the middle of wherever you want to be. Whether you go east, west or south, you won't have far to go. Groceries, restaurants and shopping are nearby. We made sure to include some down time, relaxing on the patio, so that we could soak up some of the sun to take back to Chicago in April. The entire neighborhood was peaceful, quiet and private. Ultimately we'd one day love to own a place similar to this. Until that time, we'll be staying here whenever we decide to continue our search for our next home!

Wonderful Experience !!!!

The homeowner, Laura let me know that we would be her first guest as she is a new host, so we weren't sure what to expect. Once we arrived we knew we booked the right place for our stay. The property is just as descried and the pictures do not do it justice. It was absolutely peaceful and inviting. The guest quarters are quite large and very well appointed. Everything was immaculately clean with very nice new furnishings. A very private and charming space, not to mention the special views from the courtyard and front. I also want to comment on how comfortable the bed was. I understand the pillows and bed were purchased from a luxury hotel supplier. After long days starting with early morning hikes and ending at some of the best antique shops around, we were beat and ready for a good night's sleep - and that it was. While we are admittedly not high maintenance, we had everything we needed to enjoy our visit to Tucson. Laura was a perfect hostess. Helpful in providing information and making sure we had what we needed to enjoy our stay. We are looking forward to staying here again next year!
