A quiet retreat in the foothills
The rental is an attached apartment to the main structure. It has a private patio and all the amenities of a nicely furnished apartment. I came for a trade show and stayed 8 days at this property. Two employees stayed with me for parts of my visit. A possible drawback for some would be the remoteness of the location from downtown venues, but I very much enjoyed listening to the coyotes howling at night!

We all loved everything about the property: location, well-appointed, very clean, beautiful decor, easy communication with our host, incredible variety of cactus,..in a word: OUTSTANDING! Three adults who traveled through 12 countries together 52 years ago and we never stayed in a nicer place together. Will not disappoint.

WOW What a find!
My husband and I were visiting Tucson to watch our son play some college baseball. We were looking for a place with character away from the baseball fields. This casita fit the bill and more! The attention to detail is apparent throughout the rental. Whoever designed the space really nailed both the charm and functionality! Well stocked kitchen had everything we needed. Beautiful courtyard with multiple seating areas proved to be the best spots for coffee in the morning and wine at night. We never had to reach out to Colin for anything, but he supplied his number and a backup if needed. Loved the special welcome note and snacks when we arrived! Will be back next year if the team decides to return to Tucson!

The property was very nice but the front furniture upholstery needs cleaning. Not as much kitchen supplies as I expected, but not awful.
Big problem was noise. Whoever was upstairs from the unit made thumping and crashing noises all night from 11:30pm until 4-4:30 am every night we were there. One night it sounded like a large piece of furniture was scraped along the floor. As a result, very poor sleep every night.

A Tucson Gem!
This lovely Casita was perfect for our visit to Tucson. It is well appointed, with upscale appliances and indulgent amenities. The decor is thoughtful and tasteful with romantic but contemporary design. We especially enjoyed the privacy and quiet of the courtyard and views over Tucson from the beautifully landscaped property. I hesitate to rave too much, lest this hidden gem become too popular and reserving a return visit more difficult!

Elegant and cosy
My friends and I stayed six days at this lovely guest apartment. It was elegantly decorated and cosy. Colin was responsive to our various requests. Our only complaint is that the stove needed repair as we planned to cook several meals and it was down to one burner. Other than that issue, the casita is a private, well-appointed getaway in a great location. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Comfortable Casita
My husband, daughter and I stayed at this beautiful casita while attending our daughter’s graduation from UA. It was lovely! Easy to access, tastefully decorated, and with a wonderful, private courtyard. The beds were extremely comfortable, too. It was nice to have peace and quiet after the busy graduation day! Would definitely recommend this casita to others looking for a foothills retreat! Thanks again.

Beautiful home, perfect location
Colin's property was extremely clean and well-appointed. We had access to everything we needed for a week in Tucson. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the views of the valley and mountains were exceptional. Colin made known that he was accessible, (but we never needed him). It is a very private and quiet area. We will definitely stay here again, as it was perfect for the two of us, and accommodated two nights with our adult daughter who lives in Arizona. This was a lovely home away from home! Thanks so much for everything, Colin.

The Best of Tuscon
I'm almost reluctant to write a review of this Tuscon secret treasure as it will no longer be a secret! The location is central to all things Tuscon.... the University, the Canyon, the best local dining and of course the open range skies. This quaint Casita is beautifully decorated and appointed with high end appliances and comfortable furnishings. It will be your base to rest and recharge from eventful days exploring this Arizona treasure.
The hosts are wonderful, attentive and dedicated to making sure your stay the best it can be. If you are lucky enough you might also enjoy the company of Duke, the official Casita Ambassador!
Highly endorsed for families and couples alike.
Shhhh...don't tell anyone!

Wonderful getaway!
We loved our stay at the Foothills Luxury Casita. The casita is beautifully decorated and has a great layout. The area is upscale and the location felt very safe. Our host could not have been more attentive, kind and friendly. When we arrived there were lots of wonderful snacks on hand which we really appreciated. There was an issue with the dining table being wobbly and when mentioned it was addressed right away. The casita is attached to the main home and shares a common door. The host's dog got to the door one day and was scratching it. We are all big dog lovers and I let the host know because we did not want the dog to damage the door or him to feel sad because he could not get to us. The host was very apologetic and left us a gorgeous bouquet of flowers along with a card which was quite an amazing surprise. The casita is a little cramped for three adults but I would definitely stay there again either alone or with one additional person. The dining table does need help as it became wobbly again, it is alright for dining but more challenging for work. The water pressure in the kitchen sink is very low but we did not mention it because we did not think the host could do anything about it and we did not want to bother him again. Big thumbs up overall!
