Peaceful Getaway

We found this place perfect for some rest and relaxation. Very quiet and away from the noise and bustle of the city. Great views of the valley and the sunrise over the Rincon Mountains was a great way to start the day. Wayne and Marilyn were very gracious hosts. Would return in a second.

Nature preserve on the NE edge of town

Gorgeous, well equipped, private casita with spacious shaded patio overlooking the Rincon Mountains. Serenaded in the evening by resident Great Horned Owls, and gently awakened by quail, and doves. Hosts live on site and were generous and attentive to our needs. Would return again and again.

Another great stay at the Casita

This is our second stay at the Casita and it was as enjoyable as the first. I like to bike and it is close to mt bike trails and safe road rides around Mt Lemon and Saguaro National Park. The hosts are great. Our favorite part of the property is the outside patio where we can grill and enjoy an adult beverage.

Wonderful Stay

This stay was just what we were looking for in a quiet, peaceful casita. The views were amazing morning, afternoon, evening and nights. We were there during a monsoon and it was so gorgeous the lightening. There's such a natural setting around the home. It's quiet, comfortable and the owners very friendly. We recommend the home and would stay again.

Fantastic location for Mt. Lemmon activities

I picked Casita Naranja for my week-long climbing trip because of its location to the Catalina Highway and Mt Lemmon, and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Close enough to Mt Lemmon to get quickly to the areas at which I wanted to climb but near enough to shopping and dining for great convenience. Very quiet and the hosts were fantastic. I’ll stay again without any hesitation.

Charming, spacious, comfortable casita

Everything the three of us were hoping for. Charming, surprisingly spacious, deliciously private, well stocked and cool in the desert heat. The best part is a huge porch overlooking the dreamy, sonoran landscape from top of the hill. Memorable BBQs and early morning coffee. Thank you🌹 We will return!

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely Casita.

The Casita is exactly as shown in the pictures. Previously reviews complemented our host and we agree completely. We were welcomed warmly upon arrival and also had privacy as we relaxed on the covered outdoor seating area. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Casita! Patty and Mike
