Ranch Casita: views, views, views!

Our beautiful 1 bedroom/1 bath guest casita is nestled on a 3 acre ranch at the base of Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, Arizona. The casita’s open floor plan and high ceilings offers visitors a roomy and comfortable getaway just outside of Tucson city limits, but within minutes of everything!

This clean, furnished home includes a cozy living area with a large picture window of the Catalina Mountains, a beehive fireplace, and a flat screen TV with firestick. The full size kitchen includes a dining table for four, a full size fridge/freezer with icemaker, electric stove/oven, microwave, a Keurig brewing system and traditional coffee pot, blender, and all other utensils and dish ware to feel at home. The bedroom offers a comfortable queen size bed that guests love, an armoire and nightstands, and a large walk-in closet with a full-sized washer and dryer. The bathroom has a shower and large vanity with plenty of counter space, and drawers for storage. Our linens are replaced regularly to ensure cleanliness and comfort!

Outside, you can enjoy the breathtaking patio views of the Catalina and Rincon mountains as well as the beautiful sunsets of Southern Arizona. You can grill on the propane BBQ or just relax with a glass of wine from the neighboring vineyards in Sonoita and Elgin. We are minutes away from numerous outdoor activities to keep visitors entertained year-round: Pristine golf courses such as Arizona National Golf Club (1 mile) and Forty-Niners Country Club (3 miles) offer tee-times throughout the entire year. Great hiking/site seeing/and animal watching locations such as Saguaro National Monument East or Sabino Canyon are a short drive away. Various bike paths surround the Tanque Verde Valley for cycling enthusiasts, as well as Catalina Highway’s bike path that leads to Summerheaven and look out points. For those cyclists who chose to stay off the main roads, Tucson has to offer over 100 miles of 'The Loop.' Please check it out online.

Grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants are all within a five minute drive from the Casita. You can visit all locally owned Sentinel Peak Brewery, Lindy's, and Bear Canyon Pizza, see live bands play in the evenings, or sit down for dinner at any of the additional 10 neighboring restaurants within a three mile radius.

In addition, our property includes wireless internet for guests.

(FOR MORE AVAILABILITY: PLEASE SEE OUR main home on the property; Cozy Ranch Home property # 2111043)

The casita is about 150 feet from the main house on the property, but feels much further away with vegetation that separates the two.

Casita in Tanque Verde

The casita was in the perfect location for us, as we wanted to hike and explore Mount Lemmon and Saguaro National Park. It was comfortable for two people and easy to navigate from the property to our hiking excursions.

Charming casita near Sabine and Saguaro East parks.

Just outside the city where the Catalinas meet the dessert floor, this homey casita had everything we could have wanted, a quiet, rural location, yet close to shopping and greater Tucson’s sites. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We enjoyed our stay in the Tanque Verde / Catalina Foothills area of Tucson. Our accommodations were very comfortable and clean. The views of the mountains were spectacular. Our host Stevie was very responsive and helpful in going out of her way to connect us with tv service so that we could view the Super Bowl. In a word she was SUPER!

Quiet spot in a great location

We’ve visited Tucson quite a bit and really love this northern area. Very close to anything you need and hiking right around the corner. We also did relaxing strolls down the road in the mornings and evening. House had what you’d need and even managed to cook a small thanksgiving dinner. We were low key and didn’t communicate with the host at all but knew she was there if we needed. The main house is close but you don’t notice at all if you are on the back patio relaxing. Had quite a bit of birds visiting as the host provided us with some seed. Great week long stay
