Charming Casita
We enjoyed the outside patio for breakfast and dinner although there arent any mountain views fromth patio it still is quite charming and pleasant. The inside is small but well equipped from spices to coffee. The decor is lovely a lovely walk in shower and luxurious bed linens. Highly recommend for 10 year olds a d up too small for toddlers. We enjoyed our stsy. Great breakfast pasteries from Le Buzz snd Whole foods close by.couples and 1 or 2 children

Not what it appears
This was a disappointing experience. The unit description is technically accurate, but with that gorgeous house photo, misleading. This is a small, low ceiling, ratherr dark Mother in law apartment. The host was very pleasant.We chose to eat the cost of the two weeks reserved and stayed in a different place rather than stay in this one.

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!

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.
