Conveniently located.
Was in town for a couple of days to see a friend, and this property was within 5 minutes of where he lived. Enjoyed my stay while there, and the Casita was perfect for my needs. The hosts were welcoming and gave me all the information I needed to enjoy my stay. Would gladly book this rental again if visiting in the future.

At the edge of the desert
Property is super clean, well ordered and thoughtfully appointed. Bed was very comfy. Nice walled/private courtyard with a saguaro, chimenea, and gas grill. Kitchen area is rudimentary, but worked fine. Really close to the park and hiking trails, I enjoyed the quiet. Frank was very helpful and always responsive.

Hiking in Saguaro NP
This Casita was as close to the park as we could get without being in the park.
It had everything we needed and Frank even had firewood for us to have a fire in the chimenea.
It was a very pleasant stay.

Nice place to stay
We enjoyed our stay at this quaint little casa near the Sahuaro National Monument. The unit was bigger than I expected and very comfortable. It’s located in a really nice neighborhood of nice custom southwest adobe style homes on large lots. We felt like we were truly in the desert as each night we heard the yipping and howling of nearby coyotes. The unit was clean and had a very comfortable bed and large tv. Although we did no cooking, the kitchen seemed adequate.
We would stay here again.
It was comfortable 😌 and great customer service. We enjoyed our stay.

Cozy stay in the dessert
If you’re looking for a clean, cozy, convenient place to stay near Tucson, look no further. Frank met us when we arrived and made us feel at home. The 2 nights we spent here were perfect. Comfortable bed, convenient kitchenette with everything you need, and a great porch to enjoy the dessert nights. We definitely plan to return on our next visit to Tucson.

Peace and Quiet
I needed a few days of peace and quiet, and this was the perfect place. Frank and Karin, the owners were incredibly nice, friendly, and helpful. Their communication was stellar. The accommodations were exactly as described in the listing and suited my needs. It was great to have Saguaro National Monument within a stone’s throw fir some good hiking. I will definitely be coming back!

The owners are gracious and kind people. The local wildlife was fun to watch, listening to the birds and enjoy quiet time on the patio. It is near great hiking trails. We will definitely return.
Very private and quiet. Excellent value. Location is perfect for access to Saguaro National Park.

Great location
We really enjoyed the location, away from crowds, close to the nature. I would recommend to request in advance a not-in-person check-in if that's something that's important to you. Hosts were very friendly.
COVID-Safe Casita on property adjacent to Saguaro National monument. Cosy, comfy, quiet, close to wildlife and natural beauty. Private. Owner very accommodating. Lovely exterior patio, comfortable beds, kitchenette for two.
