About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private furnished patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a spa tub or make use of other amenities including gas grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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.

Anniversary Vacation
Rosemarie was very helpful before our stay and provided us with all of the information we needed to safely arrive at their casita and how to enjoy our stay while there. The casita was perfect. We could not have asked for more. Cleanliness was top notch, and my wife if very particular. She was very impressed on how clean everything from the rooms, to the bathroom and show, all the way down to the dishes, were. The property is stunning and very well taken care of. The casita rooms are inviting and comfortable. We loved our stay and highly recommend this location for your next vacation to the Tucson area.

Loved our stay! Cleanliness and amenities were among the best I've seen at a rental. Pictures don't do justice to how much space you really have, both inside and outside. The whole neighborhood is gorgeous, quiet, yet close to all you could need.

the casita is amazing for 2 people ,the hosts are great , leave you to yourself unless you initiate contact and then very nice and accommodating enjoyed sitting one evening with them around an outside firepit. on that note if you enjoy peace and quiet, this is the place for you, the back yard is amazing with birds , cactus, privacy and a great hot tub,. the casita is furnish with everything you have at your own house and then some, grocery Stores, hiking trails, restaurants' and golf courses are all nearby. the only drawback are all the vrbo charges which makes it pricy, wish i could afford to stay there for a couple months , instead of 2 weeks, we highly recommend the casita.

Backyard haven!
Second time staying at this wonderful casita. We’ve enjoyed getting to know Dave and Ro the past two springs. I love nature so the backyard is perfect for viewing a variety of birds including several species of hummingbirds. The backyard has different seating areas so you can choose sun or shade chairs for reading that book. We also enjoyed the hot tub while watching the sun go down behind the mountains. Restaurants and grocery stores are close by. Hiking in Saguaro National Park isn’t too far and we really enjoyed Agua Caliente Park which reminded me of Florida with all the waterbirds in residence. Definitely will be back to this enjoyable vacation casita!

This casita is wonderful. The owners were thoughtful in equipping the home. Everything you could need for cooking in the spacious kitchen to providing laundry detergent for the W&D to the desk area packed with plentiful information on things to see and do in the Tuscon vicinity. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We wish more vacation rentals were as wonderful as this place. The owners respond quickly and are lovely people. We highly recommend this place.

The casita is a gem! Everything the owners provide in the house and yard is quality, attractive, spacious, peaceful, and welcoming. The view of the Santa Catalina range never got old. Tucson offers an abundance of hiking, cycling, golf, and culinary experiences all within easy access from the casita. The owners have a wealth of information and tips to share. We loved our stay!

Really great place!
We loved Dave and Ro's place. For a Casita it's really big and nicely decorated. It has everything you need including a 55 inch TV with cozy chairs and sofas. The back part of the property where the Casita connects has two lovely covered swings, trees, cacti, plants, a hot tub, a lap pool, fun garden decor. The place is beautiful. It's quiet. It's close to hiking trails and only a short drive to wonderful Agua Caliente Park. We stayed the month of February 2024. Leave us a few weeks please!

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.
