About this property

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.

The casita and grounds were impeccable! We had everything we needed. The yard was beautifully maintained and we enjoyed spending time outside just as much as we did exploring the surrounding area. The views were incredible and the proximity to the mountains was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave. Thank you Dave and Ro!

Our stay was wonderful. Amazing birds in the back yard visited us throughout the day, including woodpeckers, verdin, and quail. The property is well laid out with veranda and pergola sitting areas, and swings that overlook various parts of the property including the neighbor's horse pasture. We walked the nearby trail to the hillside loop.There are plenty of really good local eateries, and there are many family activities within an hour or two including National Parks, historic mines (Bisby a must see), and mountain trails and parks that are 30 degrees cooler than the desert. Dave gave us really good suggestions for things to see and do, and we loved our time there.

Everything about the casita was perfect. In fact, we thought it was even better in person than in pictures. The casita has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. We loved being able to cook and relax in the evening. The bed was so comfortable. The back yard was lovely, and next time we’ll take advantage of the outdoor seating and hot tub. Every detail is thoughtful and beautifully made. I think we found our new go to “spot” in Tucson.

The host was welcoming and happy to share suggestions for regional activities. A comprehensive notebook of instructions for the immaculate Casita was prominently displayed along with lists for restaurant suggestions. Regional maps and brochures were provided. Guests have access to a well-designed desert garden on the property for relaxation amid dappled shade of native vegetation.The Casita is well located in a quiet residential community with views of near-by mountains and proximate to areas affording hiking and sightseeing opportunities. We enjoyed a drive up Mt. Lemmon to ponderosa pine forests as well as several visits to Saguaro National Park east section for desert walking and, especially, for spectacular sunsets. Not far away is Sabino Canyon, a popular local hiking destination.We would happily return again.
