Comfortable and Well Stocked

We stayed one week in this mini house. It was clean and exceptionally well stocked, everything from a First Aid Kit to ziplock bags and bathroom supplies. Karen does not miss a beat setting up this property. The only thing we noticed that was not available were luggage racks for unpacking and packing. We hate to put rolling bags on nice clean beds to used some beach towels over the bed. (Being seniors we did not want to unpack bags at floor level!). The pool was nice and clean and we came for a week of cycling and appreciated being able to wash our bike gear every day since it was hot. The house is filled with the sounds of birds.

Karen and Dave were wonderful, friendly hosts. We felt home away from home. The guesthouse is a dream, clean and so well equipped, nothing missing. We also enjoyed the garden, the pool and the grill for our BBQ. We had a great time here in Oro Valley and we are going to miss you and the dogs.

Perfect stay!

My wife and I were looking for a place for the two of us for a 3-week winter get-a-way, and this lovely place was perfect. The location is great - close to hiking, shopping and very quiet and secluded. The property is beautiful inside and out, freshly remodeled with new everything, and a wonderful outdoor patio/pool area. Our hosts Karen and Dave were wonderful too, very friendly and helpful. Overall we loved it and would go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Oro Valley visit

"Mother-in-law" type property attached to the main house. Very nicely finished: wood trim, lighting fixtures, and a glass shower bathroom. Lots of attention to detail. Gracious hosts who were welcoming, but also gave us privacy. Love the location - very quiet and gorgeous.

Awesome Stay in Oro Valley

Karen and David were wonderful, friendly hosts. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and were always considerate and helpful. The rental is clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. Kitchen and bath were well stocked. The shower was amazing. Appliances are top-notch. There are many nice seating areas outside, and a great grill. It was nice to sit around the pool. We walked from the property to the Linda Vista Trail, and many more trails are a short drive. We really enjoyed our stay!

Amazing host!

My partner and I were visiting the Tucson area for our anniversary getaway, and I mentioned this in my initial booking message. When we arrived, we notice a sweet little gift from Karen (the host) along with a kind note. The place was very clean and very cute! During our whole stay, Karen was so kind and accommodating for anything we needed! The pool during the hot day was amazing, and soaking in the jacuzzi after my partner and I attended a concert was immaculate. I highly recommend this stay as well as the host! We will definitely book this place again if/when we return to the Tucson area! Thanks again for everything, Karen!

Fabulous

Our long-weekend retreat to Karen's guesthouse in Oro Valley was perfect. Karen is an exceptionally welcoming and caring host, tending to our every need. She responded immediately throughout the booking and check in process, and reached out with offers of assistance throughout my stay. She greeted us at check in to ensure that the guesthouse met our needs. The newly-renovated guesthouse is beautifully decorated and was thoughtfully stocked, with everything from coffee, cooking spices to toothbrushes and toothpaste, as Karen anticipated every little thing her guests could possibly need. The guesthouse has all of the amenities one could hope for, with a pool and a jacuzzi right outside the door, and expansive patio area that allows you to immerse yourself in the spectacular view of the mountains, sunsets, and starry skies. The amenities, the view, and Karen's remarkable hospitality made us feel like we were staying at a 5-star hotel with a hostess that welcomed us like family. We look forward to returning on our next visit to Tucson!
