The home is beautiful and was a perfect fit for our family of 4. The kitchen is well stocked and made cooking easy. We loved the views of the mountains, cacti, birds and wildlife. While it is a bit of a drive from downtown Tucson, we liked being in a quiet neighborhood.

The casita kitchen is well-equiped, as is the rest of the house (walking sticks, hats, information about the area, etc.) It seems that the hosts anticipated every possible need. For example, there is a library of books and dvds. The hosts, who are friendly but not intrusive, responded immediately to any of my concerns. It is very convenient having them on the property.They are also aware of the needs of the birds and animals that visit the property, keeping the feeders full and assuring that the water in the various containers is fresh. It was very relaxing to watch all the activity in the back yard

This home and setting was exactly what our party of four was looking for during our 3 weeks stay. It was on the less densely populated side of town and close enough to central Tucson but far enough away to be closer to nature and hiking is Saguaro Park West. The home layout is nicely configured and there were large windows in the living area to enjoy the views and bright sunshine. The yard was very private, with both natural vegetation and a lovely landscaped front yard. Many feeders in the backyard allowed for great birdwatching. The kitchen is furnished with all the equipment you should need. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. Would stay here again!

Lovely House with Desert Views

The house was charming, quiet, and private. It offered beautiful views of the surrounding desert landscape and the pool was a treat for escaping the mid-day heat. It was an easy drive to downtown Tucson or out to the desert trails. Great for a couple’s get away!

I would like to thank the hostess Carella for the wonderful stay. The outdoor enclosed porch had two small tables and chairs, and afforded a magnificent view of the Sonoran landscape. There were several bird feeders set up outside the porch, which attracted a lot of different species of birds. There were also the unique Saguaro cacti visible from the porch. The house was cosy, comfortable, and super well-equipped. Every possible kitchen utensil, laundry supplies, linens, and other things, from walking sticks to binoculars, were available for our use. If I visit Tucson again, I would rent this property again.

This home is everything it advertises plus more! The house is clean, well stocked and the hosts are great. We really liked the decorations! The location, as mentioned by other reviewers, is wonderful. We enjoyed visiting Tohono Chul Gardens, Sweetwater Wetlands Park, and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. What we loved the most was the desert-nature that surrounded this house. The views of mountains are fantastic. We spent mornings and late afternoons watching birds at the backyard feeders and in the neighborhood. Birds we saw included cactus wrens, gila & ladder-backed woodpeckers, northern cardinals, Gamble's quails & pyrrhuloxia. We would definitely return!
